[Shop-talk] 2 or 2.5 gal Diesel Fuel Can

[Steve Hammatt Mount Vernon WA USA]

I know I can spray paint red to yellow and/or simply
fill up to 50% volume to reduce the weight.  However,
I'd simply like to have an original 2 or 2.5 gal container
that doesn't take up the space of a 5 gal container nor
does it look like a spray-bomb paint job.
I would not think that that's too much to expect, but
apparently the manufacturers do.  I just got off the
phone with two manufacturers of gas cans (Blitz and
No-Spill) and they simply stated that there wasn't the
demand for smaller cans (for diesel).

Is there any logic behind there being few (if any) <5 gal
yellow diesel plastic fuel cans?  I have difficulty in lifting
nearly 50 lb. of fuel over the side of my RAM 2500 and
I would really like to stay away from the metal cans.
Any suggestions?
