Topic: Legal gas cans

I'm having a hard time tracking down a legal gas can.
Can someone suggest a make/model I can get at an Autozone/Kragen?

Is this legal?

Or do I have to buy this (more expensive one) ?

Both of those suck.  Both are legal.  Choose your poison.

These:

Or these:

I think they're the same product, so pick your favorite supplier smile Most local circle track shops stock similar ones and those tend to go for about $20 off the shelf. YMMV. Good luck!

Re: Legal gas cans

Damn. So the 5 gallon Nalgene bottles I bought at Tognottis are not legal in Lemons?

Edit - this thread makes me think (let's me think) that my jugs are OK - http://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/viewtopic.php?id=7751

Re: Legal gas cans

Any motorcycle shop will have a legal 5 gal jug, VP or similar. The motocross and ATV guys use them.
