how much do these weigh empty????

 

[FJ Opus]

Empty, they are about 4-5 pounds. We had a very interesting debate on total weight when full...

Rescue Trained Feedback*Buy yourself 3, preferably water, and a 100 pack of heavy gauge zip-ties,
and then they can also be used as a backboard if needed..only when proper rescue gear isn't available.
Just know they came in handy once! Great product , even for what they weren't designed for.
(Thus the reason to buy water's, don't use a fuel one as you'd have to drain it first+fumes=danger.)

**Sorry to ask as I think it's been asked many times before...please blue for water??

 

[FJ Opus]

Great tip!

As for water - it appears it only comes in white or black for water; sorry.

Thanks! *I should clarify though, you have to stack and tie them brick style, two on top w/ the bottom the load and fixing brace. You lift w/ at minimum** 3 people, two across the center and one at the head so nothing moves if anything slips.

**Another reason people should take an off-road safety/rescue class.

General Rule for liquid weight conversion: "A gallon is 10 pounds the world around..." realistically it's about 8.4lbs, go with the 10lb rule for differing fluids, even though gas is lighter in mass than water.

4-5LBS-Canister, 5 gallons@10lbs/ea, 55lbs.

any idea on shipping?

 

[FJ Opus]

(PM Sent)

They are going to be shipping to me in WV since we are not a CARB state - we can then work out a delivery method from there.

 

[FJ Opus]

We crossed over to 25!

We're now at 30% off!​

.

Easier rule to remember is 1 litre = 1 kilogram. Most of the world is metric these days

:: Bump ::

9 days left!

 

[Rattler]

These are really cool and a different way to haul fuel or water. I may want a couple. What would be the expected delivery date to those that ordered?

 

[FJ Opus]

Cool - hope you can join up.

The buy is closing on the 30th, I'll then email all participants on payment, and then they will be shipped. So, if everything lines up - they can go out by the 3rd as long as payments are in.

 

[Rattler]

Hmm. You may hear from me yet.

 

[FJ Opus]

Cool - be sure to email me if interested (jkollin@thewebmench.com)

In regards to Shipping - I got a rough estimate from Exped. One based on our 25 orders so far: $7.41 per container

Of course, the more that are ordered - the lesser the shipping....

 

[MyCrush]

.....stumbled in here totally by chance....
This can design looks great...I have 3 of the DoD type jerry cans on the back of my Hanna and wish after the fact that I had bought 3spares.

Is there experience here regarding the tightness of the seal when stored flat and / or heat expansion deformation ?

[romey]

that's way cool! too bad an orderwont make it in timeformy run this comingweekend ill haveto order some anyway. . . any canadians on board,shipping north of the border?

 

[FJ Opus]

[romey]
