Where can I pick up a couple of 5 gallon fuel containers in Havasu?

Are the VP the best type?

Ace hardware has them and they are cheaper than other places. Just bought some this last week.
LOL the one on the south side of town? If so not going there. They are the only ones that EVER stopped us from entering the store because we did not have a mask. F them!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You will need these to show how Kustom you are.

Anyone willing to smuggle the good stuff to Orange County?

The stupid California law has forcetome to buy the Harbor Freight 5 Gallon cans and then buy different spouts and breathers online.

You can get them all over Vegas, chances are someone you know comes to Vegas often. I don't see me ever seeing Southern California ever again.

They just put some stupid sticker on them saying they're not meant for fuel or some BS like that.

Ace Hardware in Fort Mohave has them.

Ebay will bring 4 to your door for $100. I recently had 8 shipped to CA from Ebay.

I can't believe I'm asking this question. Does California enforce the proper use of fuel containment systems?

I have to go to Ace; I will pick them up for you if you like. Save you from reliving the trauma. You can't have mask PTSD triggering you.

I have never seen any enforcement. 🤷‍♂️
IDK, I bought mine when they were still fuel jugs🤣
I don't want to make any assumptions, but it seems low-hanging fruit for the California Tax enforcement agency to set up and write paper on hwy 247 next week for KOH. they can check for paper straws, plastic grocery sacks, and flavored Tabacco products.

I have never seen a law against any consumer or user. The stupid 2001 assembly bill simply prevents the manufacture or sale in California. Someone could transport 1,000,000,000 of them into California and pass them out like candy on Halloween but can't sell one.

Scribner plastics makes a nice 1. $44 on Amazon. I bought 2 from Amazon few years ago for under $30. Bought the last 4 from spankys in Parker for $40 each if I recall.

They wouldn't ship to CA through Amazon, but Ebay did. I could tell it was same seller on Ebay because of pics. Must be amazon rule. I've had the same issue with water faucets. If all else fails, ship it to the river house and ask the neighbor to grab it.

Shadow trailer in Cypress sells Scribner fuel jugs and they have a location in Havasu. I bought for red jugs last year and the quality seemed as good as my old jugs my son stole for his GN boat!

I don’t understand the logic of replacing something that is not likely to scratch anything with something that is definitely going to scratch something..

there is no logic behind them they just like you spent more money than the other guy. You have been here long enough to know that by now.

I have 2 left over 5 gallon VP style cans they are 18-20 years old work great, I use them to hold ethanol free fuel from Az ! They get brittle and eventually break, I had 6 or 8.

in Havasu I use these LC 2.5 gallon cans, they fit in the back seat area of the can am for long rides. They can be strapped in nicely due to their design

fwiw, I have 4 of the white vp ones from the original post that I ordered off amazon. I think it was about $130 for a set of 4 and they are the thicker ones

Went out today in town and checked out a few places. Ended up grabbing a pair from ACE near Hobby Lobby. Only place that I did not try was Napa or other small shops. Thanks for everyone’s suggestions. 👍
