Jerrycan issue

I refer to part of my post 12370 and the problems I have had with new jerries.

I had bought eight new ssteel jerry cans, four each from two different manufacturers. I had two full ones left after my trip, one from each manufacturer. I decanted the jerries into empty ones and filtered the contents. White particles were spat out from the filler of the can as I emptied the dregs. When I touched these particles they disintegrated and became a slippery substance not unlike soap. These particles where visible only from the Lion Brand jerry cans. It would seem that some of the particles become soluble and escaped through the filter in to my fuel tank and they in turn blocked up my electric fuel pump and brought forward movement to an end. I had put 60 litres of this contamined fuel in to my tank. And guess what?......my Brown Davis Long Range tank does not have a drain plug. Removing the tank is not an option as we had to alter the tow-hitch to fit the tank in the first place. I can only hope that all of the contaminants have pased through the system.

Interestingly.. on the label of the Lion Brand jerry cans it is stated that ' This container must not be used for highly flammable substances '....What is the use of the jerrycan then?

Someone is not going to have a happy day today as I am on the war path.

Cheers
