Hi guys,


Gonna pick up a couple jerry cans and mounts. They'll be riding in the bed on my CJ5 rather than on the bumper.

I like those "nato" style ones. They seem like they would seal up nice.

I just don't want a leaker back there.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Not sure what a NATO style is but beware what you get. I got the carrier with my rear bumper and bought the plastic ones. They don't fit the carrier.

I got metal ones from Graingers. Sucks though because everything you buy now has to have a safety valve on it so try pouring gas in a heavy *** 5 gallon container in your jeep pressing down.

If you find something better let us know...
 
got mine from 4 wheel hardware, no complaints except they are damn expensive.

Did you know that you can not carry a metal "Jerry can" onto a military base? That is what I heard, now someone tell me I don't know what I am talking about.:D
 
I like the NATO cans also and would like to here from someone that’s used them ….. Oddly they are nearly identical to WW2 German fuel cans.
 
i have the nato ones. i got 2 of them used off of ebay for 40 bucks shipped.i still need the mounts though
 
How do you like them?

No leaks?

I have had them on a few of my vehicles here at Ft Carson and never had any problem.
 
honestly, i havent used them yet. im in the process of building a bumper with jerry can mounts behind the spare tire. they were surplus army cans.
