Vp race - fuel jug

**frekeyguy** · 04-27-2012, 03:19 PM

Looking to purchase a fuel jug to lug around to the track during drag days etc....

Does the FUEL JUG come with a hose? or is that purchased seperately??

So I buy this seperately?

Personally I have never purchased one as our VP rep always gave us them for free. They also never came without the hose on the cap. I would suggest opaque ones though so you can see the fuel in them.

I bought one and the hose had to be bought separately

I got a round one in green just like the one you posted at the bike show a few years ago, then some jerk broke into my trailer and stole it...So I got another one exactly the same, so I would forget about it being stolen....Id like to try a square one, but they only make the square ones in white, red, and blue...The round ones have way more colors to choose from...

And BTW on the VP website it states "hose not included"

why that specific jug? wont a regular fuel container from cdn tire or some other store do the trick?
i have one of those 5L red regular ones from cdn tire if you want to borrow when you go to dragstrip

Regular fuel cans work just fine.......some would say better than these due to vent location.

Some of these arnt even approved to carry fuel. Cant remember if these specific ones are or not.

I wanted to ROFL but then felt your pain. Thieves suck. They don't get an easy time in jail either.

I soooo want to set up a sting operation, maybe whole bikes, maybe something smaller. Anonymous sniper type sting

Please do, because they or some other punks actually came back and took my whole trailer...It was broken into 2 times and then, there went $5000 when it disappeared overnight one night. Luckily we just got a Mercedes Sprinter with a cube back at my work that I can use..

Personally I hate regular fuel cans nozzles, its a hassle to have to put it on and off all the time..You get gas all over your hands, those are designed to fill lawn mowers ...And the big ones that hold as much fuel as these ones do are an award shape to fill a bike, with the tank so high....These with the side handle and the hose filler that stays on all the time, and has a simple twist on cap is just easy....And it looks cool compared to carrying a red jerry can, meh for $40 Ive got my moneys worth out of them....

Its not approved to transport fuel, but Ive been doing so for years. Never had a problem...If you dont care for the color selection or the VP branding, there are other that are, just not as nice of color selection
