On this episode of Project Farm, Todd takes a look at 13 different brands of fuel cans: Wavian, Justrite, Surecan, Eagle, Stark, Midwest military style, VP Racing, No Spill, Scepter Military Style, Midwest, Briggs & Stratton, Garage Boss, and Scepter.
The cans were tested for flow rate, leaks & spills during use, spout functionality with various fuel tank styles, tip-over angle, and impact durability. Metal Jerry cans were also tested for corrosion resistance.
In the end, the Justrite (listed here at $104, currently $130 on Amazon) was best overall. Coming in a solid second was the Eagle, at a very affordable $59. The plastic VP Racing can, at $49, was the third best-testing can.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
