LOL! I know someone (who used to post here quite often) who has those jugs and made the same claim about being able to dump the entire jug in about 10 seconds. So we timed him...

It was probably the longest 10 seconds I've ever seen. I think about 90 seconds into it, he admitted defeat. Also, in his haste, a good amount of the fuel was actually dumped.

Don't get me wrong, the jugs are very nice, but I doubt most people can safely dump the entire contents in 10 seconds.

THe best jugs I have used for hauling fuel in trailers or in the back of my SUV are the ones from Moose. They are hard to find but they are worth it. The interlock and stack on top of each other. They hold 5 gallons. They are the easiest I have ever had to handle for dumping fuel for an enduro with a mandated 5 minute stop. They drain about as quick as any of the other cans on the market. They are a little pricey and hard to find but they are worth it. Here are a couple links to the cans I am talking about.

After much mental masturbation and input from fellow RLers, I decided to get two 5-gallon Hunsaker jugs and a diamond plate rack for my trailer. It does appear that Hunsaker is closed for business. Linda at Apex has not heard from them. I found them online at http://www.superduty-hq.com/. I went with a simple diamond plate rack from http://www.buyautotruckaccessories.c...uel-jug-racks/.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll post a pic when I get the rack mounted.

Dave,
These are some other good sites for trailer accessories...

www.rbcomponents.com
www.pitpal.com

Too bad about Hunsaker, those were some great jugs. Most of mine slowly disappeared during the years of karting with my son.

Dave,
If you have a tire rack you can mount them up a little to get them out of the way for attaching your straps.

That's an interesting solution Frank. I'll have to wait and see if that works on my tire rack.
I was considering putting it on the nose of the trailer where there are about 2 feet of space to work with of aluminum surface.
