Hi all.... I'm trying to source a large capacity can/cans to carry some extra fuel on an extended fishing trip...

would anybody have a can i can borrow for a sunday trip?

Need to take 80 litres of K oil....

Even contacts of a place to buy those cheap/discarded larger cans would super!! :)

Would've bought it new from arpico or something if i was using it often :)

Try roadside "bothal Paththara" collecting joints.There is one near Transmec-Peliyagoda.I bought a 30litre Aluminium can for just Rs 250 from there..they had few more but that was about 10-12 months back.just check.....and should mentioned the Austin car regd book I bought for Rs 2000 from the same place. :D

Thats why I mentioned that location.There are two more good joints.One in Katana,other near kelani bridge.But not sure about cans.You can find many good "gems" there you know!!

Try a service station? they usually have large cans for engine oil/transmission fluid etc

They may ask you a little money tho

Best to try the place you service your car, maybe they will give them free :)

let me check some places i know machan...i have some at my place but as they are heavy industrial type things i doubt it'll suite you...a coupla 30 ltr cans should do the trick neda.as anything over that is not ideal for a car trip...i'll let you know if i find something

thanks mate... following up on a lead tonight...hopefully it should work out...

and no machang this is not for a car trip... :)

I'm going to deep seas with a few friends on one of those outboard motored boats... Since we'll be trolling for about 12 hrs...the motor needs about 80 odd litres of Kero to drink :)

And i don't want to be sitting in a dead boat with no fuel nearly 100km's off the coast...

But the can has to fit in the boot of me car somehow cos i need to haul it loaded from my place to mount... :)
