WTB Small diesel fuel jug (IE smaller than 5 gallon)

Buy it, sell it, negotiate, haggle, drag it out from under the workbench or behind the garage and make it someone else's problem!

The subject about says it all. Does anybody know where I could buy a diesel jug smaller than 5 gallons?

You mean you want a yellow one? I would use a red one by Blitz (not Wedco). 1.25 & 2.5 gal. versions are available.

If you find a yellow one under 5 gal, I'd be interested in knowing about it.

Yup, I want a yellow one. What's wrong with the Wedco? I think my 5 gal are Wedco. The original spout lacks a way to cap it, but it seems OK otherwise.

I have a couple Wedco and Blitz jugs here. The Wedcos are a PITA to use, you end up getting fuel all over you when you change over from capped to spout, and the spout sucks. And then you can lose the cap/plug while you use the spout. That's why I don't buy Wedco anymore, though that's what my local hardware store sells.

You can buy a replacement spout with a cap. It is a couple of bucks more, and they are not available everywhere the jugs are sold. I like the thickness of the plastic on the Wedco, and they seem to balance better for me.
