Did you wish you had stocked up more on that 7/11 fuel lock deal while you merely topped up your 50L tank, wasting 100 of $ worth of savings unlike that guy

Do you think it's time you lift up your doomsday prepping game?

Well, fear not, here is your chance to be ready.

You can even choose between 2 colours, oh boy.

2 * 20L Jerry can for $40, usually $23.99 each, which is an incredible additional savings of $7.98. the gift that keeps giving!

Enjoy.
Note: I'm not a fuel specialist, hence have no idea how long you can keep the fuel in the tank, but I'm sure that question will be debated in the comments.

Note2: can stack up with the free $10 which expires on 9/03

  • snoopydoop on 07/03/2022 - 12:58

    I've never done anything like this before. Would love to hear those with experience. Are there any safety concerns, issues with long term storage, or anything like that to keep in mind? Or it's pretty straightforward?

    Plus do you just rock up to the petrol station and fill it up as you would normally a car?

    • [Deactivated] on 07/03/2022 - 13:00

      If you’re going to keep it for more than 3 months I’d recommend using fuel preserver

    • Tuba on 07/03/2022 - 13:04

      As its plastic, I doubt static is an issue, but if you use metal, always put the container on the concrete as fuel pumping generates static.
      Can buy additives to stabilise fuel, its called fuel stabiliser… funnily enough… debate will rage about if its needed or not and then how long. Fuel can stratify, shake it up (slosh it about).

      And 6 months minimum has always been the paranoia setting for additives. It will be weeks soon.

        I believe servos will stop you from filling them (assuming they notice or the operator GAF) if they're not placed on the ground. Plastic, generally speaking, can build and store a static charge so it's probably one of those "almost certainly won't be a problem but there's a tiny chance it could" things.

        • WhyAmICommenting on 07/03/2022 - 14:45

      They can smell like petrol not surprisingly… so if you have to put them inside a car… it's smelly.. They weigh 20KG+ or so when full… so holding that up to poor it into a car can be challenging

      • WhyAmICommenting on 07/03/2022 - 14:46

        Use a jiggle siphon, much easier and less mess than using the spout that comes with the can. Have been doing this for years.https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-jiggle-siphon---plastic-1.5m-x-12.5mm-3lpm/557063.html

    • SmiTTy on 07/03/2022 - 16:03

      I did this years ago. When it comes to filling up the car with the Jerry can, I cursed myself for being cheap while trying to hoist up the 15kg to transfer the fuel to my car. There was spillage so lost some saving I'm sure. I eventually gave up in the end bcos it's just to hard basket

      Someone linked a pump below tho… So u may want to consider that.

      Didnt watch but assume its the added handles for full, two at a time etc the shapes in the sides adding strength, the breather in the spout. In WW2 the wests can was a joke by comparison, even the old metal mower can was better than ours.

        Especially if you have aluminium naphthenate and aluminum palmitate.

    • pandadude on 07/03/2022 - 14:42

      Depends on the state and if you are part of a strata.

      The real question here is will your insurance company pay out if the fuel container causes damage.

      Each insurance company has a different PDS. But RAC WA does state it will not cover explosions caused by by any flammable or explosive substance kept at or brought into your site illegally or in breach of any statutory regulation.

      If you live in a Strata in WA you most likely get in trouble for Section 1. Storage of inflammable liquids.

      Saying that I wouldn't recommend overfilling the container and really I personally wouldn't be keeping 20L of petrol at home. If this was diesel that would be another thing.

      • spaceflight on 07/03/2022 - 23:14

        I personally wouldn't be keeping 20L of petrol at home

      Yeah my nozzle has a split in it, probably 2-3yrs old. Only leaks a bit (probably spill 20ml when using) but will only get worse. Took around 2yrs before it split.

  • willyroo on 07/03/2022 - 13:47

    Very useful in the recent Yeronga floods - 2 of mine are out there somewhere for people to use to keep their generators going. I prefer the "tube in" versions though, especially as the spout is kept clean if you're going bush.

  • NigelTufnel on 07/03/2022 - 14:22
    +3

    Assuming you save 20c/L on fuel with this, that's $4/fill. So you need to use these at least 5 time for them to pay themselves off.

    Not sure I'd bother personally, but I guess that's okay.

    • Robc on 07/03/2022 - 14:31
      +1

      A lot of faff for a small saving. And lifting and pouring a full Jerry can isn't much fun either. Fine if you are going Bush.

      • NigelTufnel on 07/03/2022 - 14:42
        +1

        Yeah, if I had any petrol tools and needed extra petrol around anyway, then maybe it would be worth it. Don't think it's worth it just to capitalise on fuel savings personally.

      • pandadude on 07/03/2022 - 14:44
        +1

        That's nothing compared to the Singaporean who drive to Malaysia for fuel. They shake there cars to get all the air out of the fuel tank to get every ml in. Not recommended since you need the air gap for fuel expansion. But everyone has a different way of saving money.

        • wtfnodeal on 07/03/2022 - 14:58

          Is the fuel price in Singapore just like the car prices 5 times more expensive than in any other countries?

          • pandadude on 07/03/2022 - 18:14

            @wtfnodeal: It depends. There always some credit card or bank card or membership card that gives a discount or rebate. The discount aren't small like here in Australia were we get 4 cent off a litre. I think the minimum discount using CaltexGo app in Singapore is 14% for any master card / visa card.

            So you can't really trust the headline rate but saying that even after discount and rebate I believe there fuel is more expensive then Australian prices however there fuel is better quality.

          • Ziggy28 on 07/03/2022 - 20:30

              China doesn't need nor wants to invade Taiwan, this would only happen if the West starts a military build up on the island like they have in other areas.

    If youre having issues with nozzles… and dont want part of a can at a time… piss it off and get a jiggle or copper/brass siphon hose. Its a length of clear hose, with a metal end with a marble in it, the marble end goes in the fuel. Basically you jiggle it and the marble does the siphoning.
