I want to pick another one up, also, Would it be legal to have it in olive drab? Or would it need to stay red to be on my next truck?

ALSO: still looking for something I can use that valve for.

I wouldn't worry about it. You should be fine with it in OD.

Jerry can spouts could be bought online or at a surplus store...maybe even a decent hardware store, but that's a stretch. Or you could just buy a flex funnel that will fit down the filler hole on the truck...5 bucks at wally world if even that.



That valve on yours should be for (as was said before) attaching to something that isn't a vehicle, but runs on gasoline or kerosene. In ww2, there were many cook stoves that ran on gasoline and kerosene, and were fueled by a jerry can via a hose to a valve on the can or on the cap. Could also be a small motor or engine driven generator. Who knows.

A local military surplus store had a 1945 Chrysler Airtemp field cook stove. It was big enough to feed a decent group of soldiers pretty quickly, and had a 6 foot tall smoke stack. It had a jerry can attached for fuel. I almost bought the darn thing because it was so cool...

the only color requirements are local laws kip...gasoline-red cans, kerosene-blue, diesel-yellow. { if I'm not mistaken it's a federal standard?}

we used them for our heaters in our tents in the winter. its a pot belly stove return line, you turn the can upside down and let gravity feed the fire while that little line runs from the reg back to the can. you cook your food on a hot plate on the stove. also i know you can buy all kinds of things for those. they also make a system to heat shower water for outdoors. google it, you'll find a whole bunch of stuff

I just need a cable for it, mainly the adapter for the valve end, so I can screw it on and use it =p
