Default Gas Cans?

I was wanting to buy some of those plastic gas cans that dump fuel in a hurry. I currently use regular 5 gallon ones. It's not horrible but is kind of a pain to hold them forever & wait to fill that DS tank. Anyone have those better style ones? What were the best brand & price you found? Do they have a fine mesh filter in the spout?
Thanks.

Are you thinking of the Dry Break systems that the racers use? I believe you tank needs to be designed for it. I use the VP fuel jugs (here in California called Utility jugs!). I noticed that on some, the vent hole is real small, if you drill it out it should flow better.

Check out Hunsaker utility jugs. They make a 5 and 11 gallon quick fill jugs. The design looks like it would flow alot quicker.

They flow alittle better than a regular can. The best part about them is the full flexible hose. It keeps you from spilling the fuel better than a regular gas can.

I assumed that you were already using those and wanted something that flowed better then those. I assume you are using the ones that they sell cheap at hardware stores and generic chain auto parts stores.

The one you linked to, the Jaz race jug looks similar to VP fuel jug. Here is a few links:
Summit Racing Five Gallon Jugs
VP fuel jugs
Scribner Fuel Jug

The Hunsaker is probably still faster then all of those linked here.

Yeah I'm just using a lawn mower type Jug I guess. It does what it is suppossed to, just kinda slow.
Thanks for the links.

I use one very similar to that. I believe there are many companies who make that style can. They fill plenty fast for my liking. Any faster and I would worry about overfilling and having fuel spill all over the place

One piece of advice. If you do buy one, be sure to take an air hose to the inside of it. Every one of those cans that I have bought were full of plastic shavings and other crap.

Actually I prefer plastic shavings in my carb.

Seriously, thanks for the tip.

Those (on Jaz link) are the same ones we sell too. The long flex hose is usually an accessory and doesn't come standard. The hose has a screen in it. The vent hole comes marked but not drilled. Open it up and you'll fill up quick. Best thing to me was the clear (white) ones. That way I can easily see what kind of fuel I have in em (purple for 110, blue for 112 octane). Don't pay more than $30 bucks for em though.
