Good discussion and film. Since our 21 Tundra came stock with a 38 gallon tank, we can go for a long ways and not have to carry extra gas. Don't miss having to do worry about that anymore.

38 gallons!  I want one!

 

Anybody know who can retro fit one for me................. :D

 

I have had 4 genuine NATO cans for 15 years, bought them new, and never have had any odor or leaks...I did however just order a new Wavian 5.3 / 20l can....and yes, I have new gaskets and the original spout to use on Wavian...assuming it fits...

 

 

Oops...looks like 38 gallon only available for 2007 up and not our 2005...plus photos show it without a shield and hanging lower under truck.....steel but vulnerable...

 

Ps...Good advice about strapping things down....I always confirm my wife is seat belted in!

We love our 38 gallon tank on our '19 Tundra double cab. Having a 300 mile plus range is mighty convenient and helps with the peace of mind. The instrument panel says 410 miles range when filled -- but if you think I trust that -- no way!

This is why I went diesel this time. Bigger tank, better fuel economy, and I can get a 62gal Titan tank if I really want to.

Have done 420 in our 21 Tundra and only put in 32 gallons. so theoretically could go further, but that was far enough!

I received my can and mount.

 

here's a picture of where i mounted it. I will be keeping the nozzle in a tool box so it doesn't get filthy with road grime

Looks good!  Nice to have that bumper as a mounting point to carry the weight.  I concur about not leaving the spout on the can.  Clean spout = clean fuel.

A couple of years ago a friend stumbled onto some of these wavian cans private labeled by Briggs & Stratton in red. They came with a short nozzle in a plastic clip pop-riveted to the carry handle assembly. I bought two and put one on the rear of the Blanc-Oh! ('96 White OJB). Motoring down I-5 one late afternoon somewhere South of Los Banos and North of Kettleman I caught some odd movement in the center mirror. It took a bit to get over to the side (trucks were doing 75+ in the 'Slow' lane). Took me a while to figure out what was missing, that nozzle. Wasn't a huge loss, but I don't like to knowingly litter (I figure that enough gets away from me unintentionally that I try to balance the scales at least a little). With traffic what it was there was no walking back for it.

 

So yeah, if yours is the same clip then I wouldn't leave the nozzle in it either. I keep a Swiss nozzle under the hood of most of my trucks.

One more data point

 

These are great fuel cans, but after 3-4 years of being mounted on my camper, and on the truck continuously, both the can and the mount from wavianusa, have rusted significantly and are probably nearing failure point, replacement time. Not really a buy once and never again solution. The old school rapid pour spout, hard to find these days, has fared better but will be moved to a less exposed location going forward
