Mine didn't, so I had to go out and buy it separately.
It's a five-gallon trash can.
Yes, I can see the liquid in the container clearly, so knowing the level is not a problem.
Any ratchet with a 1/2-inch square drive will suffice. There is no need for a special tool.

There are no relief caps on the tanks, and they appear to be solid. The tiny caps that cover the air relief valves, on the other hand, are a nightmare. I bought four of these, and they've all disintegrated despite the fact that I kept them inside and only used them occasionally. So now I need to figure out how to keep these sealed. I contacted the seller about replacement caps and am waiting to hear back. br>br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. The seller has yet to respond. I had to use Saran wrap and a phone number I found at Home Depot to keep everything together. This is far from ideal. br>br>UPDATE 2: November 30th, 20/UPDATE 1: November 30th, 20/UPDATE 2: November 30th, 20/UPDATE 1: The seller has yet to respond. All of the relief caps have blown out. One of the large caps' seals has now developed a defect. This is a low-quality item.
When I first put it on, it leaked like a sieve. When I picked it up, fuel gushed out from beneath the lid, soaking everything in the process. I had a hunch that the o- The ring was defective, so I contacted the seller, who promptly sent me a replacement at no cost to me. br>br>I had since purchased another highly rated jug from another manufacturer that did not leak and swapped the lid from it to the LC LC2 and it still leaked, implying that the issue is with the jug rather than the lid or o-ring. I'm not sure why the o-ring is there because the threads pull the lid down tight and the o-ring is there. The jug opening should be sealed by the ring. br>br>I liked the jug's beefiness, and the double handles were one of the reasons I bought it, but a leaky jug is useless.
Any hose will fit this; I bought the VP hose to go with it because I like the screw on cap, but if you're so inclined, you can make one for about half the price of buying it assembled. The best part is that if you're illegally storing fuel in these, they actually pour instead of spilling all over the place like the EPA cans. br>*The o- has been updated for a year. The lid's ring appears to be shrinking. Now I need to double-check that the o- If the ring hasn't rolled out of its groove before the lid is put on, it will spill all over the place. The ring needs to be made out of better materials. Nonetheless, this jug is far superior to the VP or Scribner jugs.
I bought five of these to take with me on a trip to Lake Powell and fill up my gas tank. Without a house boat, we like to go deeper into the lake than most people do. We ran out of gas in the middle of the lake last year when this happened to us. The LC2 containers allowed us to have an extra half tank of fuel on hand this year, and the cans performed admirably in transporting the fuel, with the double handle design making them exceptionally easy to handle. br>br>While the description claims that you can tell how full the cans are, I found this to be extremely difficult to do; while the cans have graduated marks, the liquid inside is difficult to see. br>br>Because the containers didn't come with a filler hose, I paired them with a VP Racing Fuels filler hose. The hose is a great match for this container because it fits perfectly. br> One concern I have is that these containers are not labeled as fuel containers. But it's clear that's what they're after. I'm sure there's some federal requirement that these containers couldn't meet, but they were far superior to the fuel approved containers I have, with much less spillage than one of the safety spout fuel canisters would have caused.
Dye bleeds into 91 octane fuel that has been sitting for about a month and has ruined 5 gallons of fuel. Thank goodness I only used it in a pressure washer. It smelled like plastic was bursting in the exhaust fumes; it wasn't overpowering, but there was a hint of plasTek. This isn't good for fuel, and maybe the white is different, but green isn't. This isn't a joke; it looks like Mountain Dew, which is a gas, not a soda.
The can is appealing to me. It's simple to operate. The built-in handle on the bottom/back isn't as useful as you might think. It might be okay if you're filling something low to the ground. When I pour, I usually hold the can at about belly or chest level, making the bottom/back handle difficult to grasp. br>If your trailer has a built-in "Jersey can" rack, keep in mind that because the can's handles are on the corners, you won't be able to lock it in with the rod. I don't have a problem with this, but a friend who owns one of those trailers borrowed my can. found out about this.
Pouring is made a lot easier with the double handle. After the bottom split on week three, I used the VP gas can's spout! If you buy the VP can, you'll be sorry. I bought two of them, both of which were garbage. When you pour, one splits and the other leaks. This is going to be my new fuel can of choice!.
I paid $79 for the same can at an ATV store. 00 there. The best design on the market. Handling is made easier by the high and low handles on opposite ends. For people like me who have weak wrists, this is extremely useful. Purchase a good thick spout, which is also available on Amazon. That'll be required to create the best gas can you've ever seen. br>br>I have a number of them around the farm. It is impossible for them to leak.
