that you have hit on one of the real reasons why the can . Becouse of the
shape of the cans , more fuel can be shipped in the same size or slightly
larger box. Much money is saved on shipping one box instead of two and the
manufactor sells more fuel to the case. Red Max was doing the same thing
using quart size bottles and shipping five gallons to the case .
<BR><BR> Over the last few years , myself and a couple of other
flyers have been buying fuel by the drum . We tap the drum and pour all the
fuel off into jugs at one time . Never had any problems with the fuel in four
years of doing this .<BR><BR>Robert Gainey</FONT>
