truck beds and gasoline
Usta be do not fill gas can in the bed of a pickup.
However most pickups now seem to have beds of
aluminum. plastic, or some sort of neoprene or
rubber. so does that caution still apply?

I have a spray in bedliner in my GMC. No problems at all on mine but I have one of these gas cans.

The can is a deep drawn type which means it is one piece of steel that is "drawn" to the shape of the finished product. There is no seams or welded joints that can rust. Very similar concept to the Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearing my company manufactures.

Re: truck beds and gasoline
The issue was with static electricity, ever get out of your vehicle and shock yourself?
I always put container on ground to fill it, old habit i guess

Re: truck beds and gasoline
Hmm, I guess this is another one of those things that I've been doing wrong. I always fill my gas cans with them sitting on the tailgate and I don't have any lining on it. I guess I always have done it that way because I'm old and fat and didn't want to bend down to the can on the ground. I guess I better change that habit so I don't blow myself up some day.

Re: truck beds and gasoline
I have the same can.. the funnel isn't attached on mine because I read some reviews that said it leaked a bit when they were finished pouring gas out of the can.. however my neighbor has the exact same set up as you and he says his doesn't leak a drop..ralph wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 1:56 amI have a spray in bedliner in my GMC.

In several states it's the law that all portable containers must be placed on the ground to fill.

Re: truck beds and gasoline
I have a 14 gallon gas hauler, and several six gallon cans, all plastic.
I fill them all on the plastic lined tailgate and bed of my pickup.
None have blown up or even made a spark yet.
