Hey I am looking for some used five gallon plastic gas cans to add to my gas storage. I am willing to spend up to $7.00. I can get new ones for $13.00. If some one has a lead on a better deal then that let me know. Maybe we can do a group by if there is interest in it. As far as storage I just date each can when I fill it. When I fill my cars I grab the oldest can dump it in the tank and refill it back up. It works out will for me. I bought one of those hand pumps to transfer the fuel. It makes it pretty easy to empty the can. Ones you get it started it will empty it's self. *

I've heard that platic cans for long-term storage doesn't work too well.

Depends on the "platisc" used. The "harder & thicker" the plastic and away from direct sun-light the more it will go.

BTW feel like eating a steak tonight?

How about smoking some cigars?

I've got a guitar player coming into the 1101 Cigar Lounge tonight and a factory rep is supposed to be here with La Gloria Cubana cigars offering some sort of deals on those cigars. But anyone can just come in for the music between 7pm and 9pm.

I'm going to try and get to the 1101 tonight, perhaps i'll bring a woman or two. Jedi, if you want to get a feel for the M&P9 with the tiny grips, I'll have one with me.

did you trey upstairs? pretty hard to miss then

I was being dragged around by two kids so it was hard to go where I wanted to LOL. But yeah eventually found the gun counter.

Prices seemed on par with most other places.

I have been going this for nine year now. I have about seven five gallon plastic gas cans and I would say the oldest one is seven years old. The only problem that I had is the bottom of the can rubbing on the concrete floor over time acts like sandpaper and where's down the plastic but I layed some 2x4 on the ground and I have not had that problem in five years.

Wheres the cheapest place to get some 9mm ammo? I guess FMJ will do.

Wally world? Cabelas?

 

[sadclownwp]

umm Jerry's Gun Shop, Rennselear 9.99 a box for Brass Federal Ammo, about a cent less a round than Wally World.

Cabela's also sells box of 50 for 9.99 on sale it's the J&S brand I think.
Reg. price is 10.99 or 11.99 not sure. But it's typically always on sale.

wtf, why are we storing gas?

I don't know if I should just leave this comment alone but I store gas for my generator . I hope that is simple for you.

 

[CTC B4Z]

oh ok

 

[jedi]

For emergency power to run a generator.
Have you never lost power for several days?

Same reason to have a backup source for heat (ie. propane heater, kerosene heater, wood stove, etc..)

Same reason to have a few weeks to months to years (if you are paranoid) stock of basic food in case you get snowed in.

All about being prepared.

Now if you are worried about zombies then you just need loads and loads of ammo.

 

[lonehoosier]

Should I start talking about storing propane.

 

[CTC B4Z]

I believe in just storing .223..... because with .223 it gains you access to everything else.... Its sort of like the barter system, only I end up with both ends of the deal

I don't drive to places I can't pronounce, so Rens...Renss...R... that place is out of the question Plus I'd be spending more in gas than I'm saving.

Cabelas sounds like a good plan tho. See if I can't use my staff discount...well.. not "my" discount, but...

lonehoosier: How about "jerry cans"? I know back in the motherland I could get those for around $25/30 each.

I think those hold five gallons too. I can get two new five gallons blitz cans for that price.
