“I’d rather prepare 2 years too early, than 1 day too late,” is something I’ve been saying for a couple of years. We’re getting pretty close to it being “1 day too late.” Three people within an hour, Monday morning, told me that they were rationed at the gas pump. They said the pump just clicked off, and wouldn’t come back on, at $75, $99, and $127, respectively, the three said, all of them from different states.

Hey, people - I suggest a FAR safer and superior alternative to the Jerrican ... for multiple reasons. They are expensive, but in my opinion, this is NOT an item to cut costs on (because until four months ago I lived in the depths of California wildfire country ... that's enough to sober anybody!)
For one, the gas cans I use can withstand a serious fire (the paint will melt off, but the can won't combust). For another, you will not inhale BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) and other noxious chemicals when transporting them. And for several other reasons ... Check out this review:

Well, the new EPA gas cans on the market with the stupid valves are a prime example of garbage engineering. I tried a few different models, and the valves either stick open or don't open at all. There is no excuse...
Then, I discovered the Justrite AccuFlow 5 gallon can. It puts all other gas cans to shame in terms of quality, ease of pouring, and superior engineering. Lesser gas cans cower in fear and humility, and have been recycled. Will probably be returned to market as fidget spinners.
Why you need it: Unless you're going for the neighborhood Darwin award, don't skimp on storage containers for flammable and potentially explosive liquids. Step up to a high quality and very safe Justrite Safety Can. You can get them in different colors for storing all of your fuels safely (and not mixing them up).
Why I like it: Superior engineered, powder coated, metal safety gas can goodness. The valve opens and closes easily, making for safe pours and no fumes. The nozzle is flexy for better aim into the tank...because no one likes bad aim. The powder coat and metal is thick and sturdy...because no one likes a squishy can.
