Default Fuel jug holders

I'm finally getting around to figuring out how to cram more of my gear/tools/crap inside my Trailex enclosed. I recently bought 4 Hunsaker 5-gallon fuel jugs. Where can I find holders for these 12" x 12" jugs that I can attached to the inside of my trailer? I love the Hunsaker jugs BTW. I opened up the fuel filler neck on my Cayman to accept the large 1.5"OD jug tube and the whole thing dumps in a flash. The jugs are also shaped in a way that makes them easy to lift and hold while dumping.

you may just want to install e rail or airline track on the wall and use tie downs.

A lot cleaner and gives you flexibility if you need to add other things to tie down.

I used the PitPal holders way back when but they do take up some space.
Worked well, though.

I think that would actually be a great solution. Can you recommend a source for the rail or track?

You can get E track all over, but Amazon has decent price and free shipping
Amazon.com: Keeper 04304 E-Track Tie-Off  24"x 5", 2,000 lbs Working Load Limit: Automotive Amazon.com: Keeper 04304 E-Track Tie-Off 24"x 5", 2,000 lbs Working Load Limit: Automotive

Watch for shipping charges on 8' lengths as UPS considers it oversized.

As it happens I am just about to receive two custom racks for my tailex 8045. If you call pit pal now, they should have the dimensions to build you whatever you want. I sent them a hunsaker 5gal jug to build mine. PM me for contact info.

I'll post pics once I get installed.

I use the Pit Posse 3 jug unit http://pitposse.com/fueljugracks.html When cantilevered off the front of my Trailex I found I needed to reinforce the welds but should be find sitting in a trailer.

All good ideas.
An alternative to e-track, which may be overkill and a bit industrial, is o-track: http://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trai...ack_Parts.aspx
I use e-track for my tire racks, but o-track for everything else.

+1 for running airline track (or etrac) down the wall. That's what I did in my trailer, and it gives a lot of flexibility for holding and rearranging stuff. I actually ran two rows of track, a lower one and a higher one. Over time, I have found that where I initially stored stuff has moved around, so the airline track has worked great.

Agreed! especially because my trailer hauls different cars and sometimes pulls double duty for moving so it's nice to be able to clear it out for furniture.

Two rows of etrak up front and two rows of these triangular pit pal racks in the rear. The triangular ones are nice as they protect the wall a bit better.
