Im looking for a wide mouth fuel can. I picked up a couple 5 gal. Diesel cans at checker and the opening isnt big enough to accept the nozzle from the station I fill up at. Its a standard Diesel can, (I have the same gas can for my lawnmower so its not a smaller spout). Anyone know where to get something with a larger opening? Thanks in advance

Maybe a truck stop? I've been to a few that seem to have everything you could ever need related to big rigs. And since the truck stop nozzles are bigger than your standard nozzles, I would think they would have large-mouth fuel cans. just my .02 cents worth

jg..did u find one? Got me to thinking cause Ive never used "big rig" fuel pump. My spare 5 gal. (yellow) can fill opening only 1 7/16" wide..so assume to small. But...
My spare 5 gal. (red) metal jeep can has 2 3/16" I.D. opening..is that big enough? If so..try 4 X 4 store or maybe other local outlet has one. Good luck!
No i havent, thanks that sounds big enough. Ill see what I can find.

No, I havent seen that one. Spec's look good. Big diff. I see is push button release VS cap off to pour. Put some water in it & turn it upside down & shake it.
