Fuel Jugs

[FED 387]

I used to have some fuel jugs that were made by a company called Coogle. They worked fine for many years, but a few years ago, I noticed that they were seeping fuel (VP C12) from the bottom, and it appears the molding seam on the bottom had deteriorated over time, so I had to replace them. Plus the hard plastic caps were getting quite cracked as well. I still have one of the Coogles that has been used for water, and it is still OK, after 30+ years.

Beware of the red VP square jugs. The bottom corners are extremely thin, which can easily be verified by holding one up to a light source and looking up through the neck. This is not an issue with black or white jugs that I have checked...can’t comment on other colors.

I recently purchased the Mr.Gasket square jugs in blue and red. New design according to the website. I will have to inspect them closely. I would really hate to open the trailer door and find 5 gallons of generator or race gas had leaked out!

most "fuel" jugs are not rated for gasoline, most state that on them, they don't meet DOT specs

I don't use fuel jugs anymore since I buy VP in 5-gallon containers, which are metal. The containers reseal after they're opened using the supplied plastic spouts and caps.
