I'm thinking about buying a one of these to resolve the problem of the CARB gasoline containers. The thing will stink like gasoline from the first time I use it until the 2nd Coming, and probably then some.

So my question is, after using the SS, what would be a good way to store it during my (off-road) trips? I don't want to carry the thing around in the cab or in my truck bed with its capper, because I have to sleep in the capper.
 
Get a section of 3" PVC, cap one end, put a screw on cap on the other end, store the siphon in there.

EDIT: Just thought about fumes on a hot day... drill a vent hole and store it on the outside of the truck.

That's a good idea. Glad I thought of that!

You're right. It's the fumes I'm concerned about. All I have to do is look at a pump nozzle and my hands start to smell like gasoline.

I'll take a look and see what's available that I can use as a seal. Can't really think of a good place to put the pipe right now without it looking hoeky.

Don't know how long the pipe would have to be for a super siphon, but maybe strapped to the side of your frame? 4 little triangle blocks and some reeaally long hose clamps? And if there are obstructions you could hold it off the frame a bit with a flat center section in between the angled pieces, sort of like \_/. Just a thought.

Wow, didn't mean to shut this one down. Any resolution that you came up with?

Where are you storing the gas cans? Can you just store it with them, or inside the one you emptied?
 
Zip lock bag is where i put mine.
