VP racing fuel jugs

[Walker]

I use Lc2 jugs that I bought at a motorcycle shop. A little more slender and taller than VP'S and they have another handle lower on the jug that makes pouring a bunch easier.

Atwoods also carries a similar jug that sells for $20 with the hose, and sometimes they go on sale for around $16. I have three of the ones from Atwoods and they are great.

Same thing happened to me. Swells in the heat and weakens the seem, I guess. From now on will always leave the breather cracked.

Makes sense.....

I used mine 3x maybe....

They are on sale now online.

I had one split on a seam on the bottom once. Just a freak thing, not very common. I bought a replacement.

Me too and a neighbor too. I think it’s more common than you think.

This!

I have both VP and LC2 and LC2 is by far my preference.

With the hose bender of course!

I got some of the new ones at bucees, the can doesn’t have the vent flap, instead there is a small tube (maybe 3/16”) , inside of the the pour tube. What am I to do with it? It’s about 28” long, I can’t get the can to vent while trying to dump to gas in my vehicle. I have positioned this tube in various locations, but none help it vent! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I hate these cans. I’m about to drill a hole and make my own vent in the handle. Let me know if any of you have the same issue and or a resolution. Thanks Bert

Check eBay for the old yellow gas can vents. Also, at one time they sold aftermarket spouts that are similar to the VP Racing spouts.

Good to know. I'll have to keep the vent cracked and watch out for them.

Use a valve stem. Drill a hole in handle fish a wire through it to pull valve stem up through. Take core out and just use the cap to back off for vent and tighten back up when not in use.

I've seen these & they are stout. It says right on it not to be used with gas. I'd love to have a couple of these as fuel cans so if you've used them for gas & had no issues, I'm going to buy some.

I’ve used them for both has and diesel. Zero issues I like them better than the VP cans I have.

Got the VP brand at Cabela's few years ago. It's made about 80 fish camp trips, gets beat up on the boat ride then sits in the sun on the sand in the elements all weekend. Any time I have to replace any of my normal gas cans I'll be picking up another VP.

Thanks for the info. I will try these ideas.

The white ones at Atwoods are better and much cheaper. They have a 1” hose instead of 3/4 that’s on the bucees and vp cans

Bought 6 of the Atwood jugs. On sale for $15.99. In the specs it says that VP makes them. Thanks again everyone.
