Motocross type Gas Cans - 03/11/15 11:54 PM

With the no spill nozzle, I have seen them at Mikes Off-road in Ft Worth...anyone know the best place to find them reasonable around the Metro Mess...I think they were around 35-50 bucks

STXRANCHMAN had a nice looking one on our hunt but he wouldn't take his eye off if it long enough

I used to get mine from the local Yamaha shop and Harry's Hot rods but that was years ago.

Try Ebay?

$35-40 is going rate. Any ATV/motorcycle shop will have them. Also Cabelas has them.

I've used THESE to replace the **** nozzles that come on the new gas cans, and to replace the cracked ones on old cans. They work really well if you drill a hole in the back of the can like the old vented ones, and then use a golf tee to seal them. I got mine from a defunct seller on amazon, just found these on ebay as an example. They're getting harder to find.

Maybe not what you were looking for, but thought I'd throw it out there.

I think I've got two of those around here somewhere I'll give you if you ever make it out to lubbock. I used to use them at track days but since I sold the bikes don't need them anymore

You can also drill a hole and put a rubber valve stem through it, take the schrader valve out and reinstall the cap. May not be completely leak proof but helps.

Lyssy and Eckels sells the Sniper. Put some on your next feed load. $27.95 IIRC is the retail.

Thanks Justwingem

Never thought about that STX

I grabbed this one at Mikes Off Road for 26 and some change and the tube Kit was 9 bucks..wasn't to excited over the color but it was that or a Pink one

Bet no one would have stolen that one! Pardon the mess in the ranger, just rolled in and haven't cleaned it out yet...Thanks and that Can is night and day easier to fill Sirs...
