Spill proof gas cans now available at Wall Mart.

From an email from the Shallow Water Sailors.

I have been on two cruises with group and they are fun to travel with. Doug Kelch --- Kenneth G Murphy <kgmurphy@comcast.net> wrote:

SWSers and HenNesters,

An important find: As you might know I have been looking for a sensible jerry tank. ALL the ones I tried over the years had real safety issues. See Walter Elliott's design at:

http://www.shallowwatersailor.us/swsmanual/mods/index.html#projects

However now there is one on the market that does one better than Walter's, well, at least you don't have to make one yourself like Walt did. Go to: http://www.scepter.com/ click on Jerry Cans and go down to the ECO can and the spill-proof spout.

Very nice, does everything Walt's does, and maybe better. I got it at my local WALL-MART!!!!

I tested out the one gallon can just today in preparation for the SWS Spring Cruise. Not one drop of gas was spilled, it filled up the outboard's tank and stopped automatically, when you withdraw the can, the spout closes. GREAT. Works in most applications, would not work to fill up a car tank that needs a long spout.

Safety-First, Ken
