I have 8 x 20L Jerry cans on N Bear Nest in Ireland, because of the lack of waterside fuel on the "canals" and Barrow. If I ever come back to Brirtain, then I expect you will be all using them to lug around the cheapest diesel you can find (because it could well not be canalside). I bought my SH army ones from: http://www.genuinearmysurplus.co.uk/pages/products/detail/rowid=512 They where all OK, apart from a couple which needed the clamp lid thingy straighening. -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410 Read about the TNC Irish travels at: http://www.tuesdaynightclub.co.uk/Tour_07/index.html Defend The Waterways: http://www.saveourwaterways.org.uk/
