beastpath Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I have a pre-carb NATO jerry can that I'm going to take with me on my next trip. To save on space I was wondering if these can be stored on their sides (the large side) without leaking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 How is the seal? I wouldn't trust it laying down on its side. I can't really see how much space it would save you either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 I will be replacing the seal with a brand new one. I want to mount it on the roof-rack (Garvin wilderness, 4" height) but dont want to buy an expensive mounting system for it just yet. If I laid it on its side it would keep the profile low and I could lash it down much more securely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 You can lay it down and it won't leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRich Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I've got one of those too, it seals pretty well. When it gets cold the sides suck in and I have to open it. I haven't found a spout that doesn't leak yet. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
