So you pull the pouring spout out of the tank that's filled with diesel. Diesel dripping everywhere, hands, cloths. No thanks, not for me. Do a video showing you taking the spout out at the side of a busy road.
Or, in case you are not made of money, you can just continue to use a five gallon back up can and strap it in with a ratchet cord. Use the $50 dollars you save for a lap dance and a beer. An example of people inventing things no one really needs.
Yes, the U.S. "SAFETY VALVE" sucks goat balls, just chuck it in the trash and go to the Rotopax site and buy a conventional spout, their only about $15. The new spout is well worth it. Once installed you'll be able to enjoy the feeling of true liberty!
I tried to use one of these. once i finally figured it out i spilled fuel every where due to the complexity of use, it does not go in very far and you have to keep a lot of pressure on it and it needs to be lined up perfectly but no matter what you will spill every time you stop poring. after poring / spilling my fuel every where i almost couldn't get the cap back off and was 30 away from just leaving it on when it finally budged. I repeat it does not matter what you do you will be spilling fuel everywhere!
the only problem with rotopax is that they are like $80 each, and 2 gallons won't do anyone much good, so at a bare minimum I would need four of them to give me a half tank of gas. so over $300 just in rotopax cans, plus another $200 in mounts, you have a very expensive system that looks really slick in the Whole Foods parking lot.
@@punk303 No, I haven't. Every merchandise has its buyer, the quality items cost more and that's the fact. I just stated that people who test it and use in real life all say this is the best, the only sturdy, reliable, not leaking, practical mount fuel container they will always use... So $80 a piece for you and me are maybe a steep price, but those with the mods and addons to their vehicles, which exeeded the value of their cars, will and they do buy them...
Bought myself a 'new' gas can with that nossel. It's ridiculous. It's a nightmare to use and the instructions stuck to the can are useless. I ended up taking the stupid thing off and cutting a mtn dew bottle in half to make a funnel. I'll be buying old military surplus jerry cans from now on. Aint nobody got time fo dat federally mandated garbage, especially when its 20 degrees and you have gloves on.
Good product but it bothers me that they post a video on their own facebook page that claims the material on their cans is 2.5x thicker than other cans at nearly 0.25.
how to fill it with gas without gas pump clicking off and having the gas spray out of the can? when i go to fill it up at gas station the gas nozzle clicks off and not able to fill it all the way. any ideas??
Huge waste of money they might have thick side walls but their seals are horrible I had to replace the seals on both my diesel Rotopaxs twice, in the end, I gave up and went back to the normal 20liter jerry can.
The mechanism is the same as the Wedco/B&S gas cans. It is one of the better nanny dispenser nozzles out there. Although I have had one failure already out of the five (Wedco) I own. I cut the safely collar lock that you have to turn off. IMO it is not needed even for safety. I do want to get the set and mounts for my Ranger.
Looks like Matts video here is 7 years old now! But(!), I was curious about these since I've got a Can-Am Outlander due to arrive in December and am thinking about extra gas for some of the longer epic rides I hope to be doing. Thanks for the video Matt!
Once again, very good video. I was wondering however if you've had any issues with the lock mounts hitting the lift gate once installed. I was informed by JCRoffroad that the LOX ones can sometimes hit the hatch after a hard bump causing some body damage. Have you found this to be the case? Anyone? Thanks!
Oh my god, I watched the Motor Trend Cheap Truck Challenge and saw these on the backs of a couple of their rigs....I was trying for about 20 mins to Google what the hell they were with no luck...it was driving me nuts!!! Then here it is...you're my savior!! Thank you!!
Really nice vid! Could you use the same rotopax for gasoline, diesel or water or the building material is different for each one? Greetings from Switzerland
they are made of different materials (at least the water one is)... the water one is made of food grade plastic.... red cans for gasoline, yellow for diesel
Twist lock keeps it from pressing in. And you need to butt it up against the tank inlet and press to get the gas to flow from container to tank. It's supposed to prevent spills but it's over complicated BS
Cutlerylover4life1 no. thats why matt was commenting on the dictator in chief. the epa thinks we are going to save the environment by having ventless gas cans. I wouldn't care but these new nozzles suck. they are a pain to use and flow about half as fast as the old school ones. that doesn't mean the cans are bad though just the nozzles.
It's not vented to prevent spills on ATVs it's ment to be filled then used. Emptied or left cracked open when done. Gas only expands in temp changes over time. No harm in short term
Thats the whole point of spillproof no vent. It's ment to be filled used and emptied/left cracked open when done. Gas only expands in temp changes over time. So no danger with no vent in short term. And for pouring the nozzle is vented
You do realize that anti spill pressure valve helps prevent gas loss due to evaporation. It also keeps you from spilling gas down the side of your car, not to mention the anti explosion factor. I guess if you want to throw your money away, ruin your paint and set your self on fire, you can throw away the nozzle and get yourself a transmission funnel. You can take out your thermostat so you can run cooler too, while you ruin your cylinder walls. It's a common habit among children and knuckle draggers to label a piece of technology they don't understand as stupid rather than see that problem was not it but them. Second guess a perfectly good engineer, what do I care. It's a free country you're entitled to your opinion. Just realize you're making a fool of yourself in front of a lot of people.
ScorpionRegent Your "SAFETY VALVE" has poured more gasoline down the side of vehicles than ever "exploded" (what a crock) in the old trusted type cans. By the way the cap stops the evaporation. Does it not make you wonder how the rest of the planet can manage with the standard nozzle? We use these only because some useless engineer needed to explain his "reason for being" and someone in the legal system bought it not because they were proven to do any good. If you cannot pour from one of the old cans please stay inside and do not endanger the rest of us capable people that enjoy our freedom.
I like Matt best
He's a celebrity
You can pop the "safety" valve out of the nozzle. My regular gas can has the same nozzle and it got taken care of in about a minute and a half.
So you pull the pouring spout out of the tank that's filled with diesel. Diesel dripping everywhere, hands, cloths.
No thanks, not for me.
Do a video showing you taking the spout out at the side of a busy road.
Just get Jerry cans if your budget don't allow these 40 bucks at harbor freight and they are 5 gallons also go real well with the tire carrier bumpers
Dictator in office! That’s a little bit of an understatement
Or, in case you are not made of money, you can just continue to use a five gallon back up can and strap it in with a ratchet cord. Use the $50 dollars you save for a lap dance and a beer. An example of people inventing things no one really needs.
Or use the 50 bucks extra for idk... The gas lol
That 2 gallon gas can costs $80.
Lap dance where for that much? A trailer park? Lmfao

+James Smith Stupid thing (safety valve) leaks gas everywhere. I'll stick to my Military Surplus Gas Cans.
Check out the all new designed Patent Pending MagnaCan that's coming out soon, you can see some videos of prototype on TH-cam. "MagnaCan Ford"

Daaam i was just about thinking 🤔 of buying one, thanks for the info
Can you please use the word doodad more often?

Trail and overlanding drivers tend to disagree with you...
@@alopandur Awwwwwwww... somebody got their feels hurt by the truth. 😥😥😥😭😭😭
I think you missed my point. All I was saying is that they are too expensive for what you get.

+Jesse Deptula and the stupid "safety valve" leaks gas all over your gloves and makes you a fire hazard. I feel ya.
Eyebrows Mahoney That's exactly what happened.
You can buy an "old style" replacement nozzle kit for $9.99. Works good.
Spouts are great til you try using them. This is the first video where even the instructor can't figure it out.
Good product but it bothers me that they post a video on their own facebook page that claims the material on their cans is 2.5x thicker than other cans at nearly 0.25.
Yah, maybe no. I just checked the price. Molded plastic for that price.
I love it "dictator in office" so true matt hahahaha good video.
I just usubscribed to any of his channels.
@@CrucesNomad1 You unsubscribed over a 5 year old joke?
I didn’t realize Trump was in charge of nozzles. Good to know! 😂

Talking bad about a sitting president is treasonous. Too many men and women have died so you can disrespect the commander in chief.
Dictator in Chief. LOL!!!!
Huge waste of money they might have thick side walls but their seals are horrible I had to replace the seals on both my diesel Rotopaxs twice, in the end, I gave up and went back to the normal 20liter jerry can.
Oh, forgot... great video. I love Bleepinjeep, please keep it up!
Thanks man - good vid!
I’d rather go to Harbor freight and get the green metal cans.

In other words you stay in a nanny state. :-) That's why you have all those dumb rules. In the good RS of A we don't have em.
Really nice vid! Could you use the same rotopax for gasoline, diesel or water or the building material is different for each one?
Greetings from Switzerland
they are made of different materials (at least the water one is)... the water one is made of food grade plastic.... red cans for gasoline, yellow for diesel
You sound like that dude from south park. Mmmkay
Lol
I bout had a Episode until I saw this video was from 5 years ago!!!!!! Do the math!!!
Do you recommend to buy this gas can? Does petrol stink or leak from the lid?
I bought 2 of these and in now way can i get them to connect. I probaly got scammed.
I didn't know they made so many option parts for a fiat..
Not agents you but that pipe is total crap. Skip that and just pour in the gas. :)
I have the 2 gallon gas and the black storage mounted on my 14 grizz 700
I saw something like this in the magazine Tread. They mounted onto the spare tire mount on a jeep.
Loving the design of this product. Definitely gonna look into them just cause of the versatility.
Nice product, but is it better than the Wavian Jerry can tho?
never had a issue with my regular nozzles here in canada
GKA cans better than rotopax!
ComocosonoEWL three times cheaper and same quality, so i choose GKA, sry man)
What kind of mount should I use for a 4x8 trailer?
Its not enough for cj fuel... LoL but I still need a rotopax
have 4 water tanks on the back of the ZJ. Awesome products, we love them!!
good points on the spout /caps. different vids all about mounting
"Dictator in office," so funny good vid.
you get a like just for dictator ... but good vid too
what does the medical one look like????
Just a fancy Jerry can
Most videos on this product aren't as thorough as this was, thank you. And yes, I did subscribe & and a thumbs up too...
日本には無いのかな？
wow that's neet.
Hey what's the diameter of the baseplate? I want to mount to my roof basket
Nice review
Great video Mr. Bleep!
I can only find them in gallons, do they make them in metric sizes?
+bajajimy07 They make them in 3.8L, 6.6L, 7.6L, 11.4L, and 15.1L sizes.
Ha gotcha!!
So what's the purpose of those spouts?
Twist lock keeps it from pressing in. And you need to butt it up against the tank inlet and press to get the gas to flow from container to tank. It's supposed to prevent spills but it's over complicated BS
is there a vent on these to let the vapors escape?
Cutlerylover4life1 no. thats why matt was commenting on the dictator in chief. the epa thinks we are going to save the environment by having ventless gas cans. I wouldn't care but these new nozzles suck. they are a pain to use and flow about half as fast as the old school ones. that doesn't mean the cans are bad though just the nozzles.
