Yeah was hoping someone had one laying around that they don’t use and could buy off them..
If I recall, there were 4 - 5 plastic versions, one for each brand as the lids have different threads / diameters. I was never happy with it, cause it was quite big and hard to keep clean.
I replaced it with one of these and keep it in a ziplock bag, I wouldn't use it for petrol though.

ummm errr pumping air into a jerry, nope never
even one two or five pound, yes its got a blow off
you are expanding/contracting the container ever so slightly every time
no wonder metal ones leak
me i would go for an inline electric, batteries power you air comp, so inline electric pump is no different on the battery, no?
you carry a chainsaw? pull up near a tree chop it off at the height of the filler cap, then use a syphon?

Ok I did also wonder about the plastic and how well the plastic thread sealed over time.
Ive also looked at these electric pumps in the past…

I’m happy with the tanami pump , puts 20 litres in very quickly. It’s easy to use and not messy.I keep it in a heavy duty plastic beside the drawers in the canopy.
Years ago i didn’t put the hose into the tank properly and when the compressor was turned on the hose came flying out spraying diesel everywhere, There were blokes and expletives going in all directions ….

Matt, having long range on remote roads is definitely a nice to have. It's when you are nowhere near a road, and your fuel consumption is half normal, or less, then extra fuel is worth it. I once had 163l in the car, and 8 jerry cans, towing over sand dunes and remote sandy soft tracks. I had about 30l left when I eventually refuelled. That was about 300l of fuel used. Plus about 240l of water, 140l of beer and 10l of wine.
1600 km between servos, mostly on sand dunes and tracks. No mercy if you run out of fuel. Those jerrys get heavy too.In my new vehicle, I decided not to get a long-range tank. The 200 comes standard with 140l and the extra $1500 and 45Kg to use once a year is too much or a price to pay IMHO. I now have collapsable jerry cans that take up almost no space when empty and hang off my rear bar when full.

I use a flexitank on the rear seat floor for water and want to go ahead with a hang behind the rear seat 90 litre flex tank for diesel also but they won't return my emails just yet. Keeps a lot of weight in a twin cab in the right place - and fold it all up and throw in the cupboard when you get home.Matt, having long range on remote roads is definitely a nice to have.

Yeah, I recon I always got more diesel on my pants than in the tank with the Tanami. I suspect the plastic ones are worse that steel jerries as they expand quite a bit. I bought 8 Pro Quip jerries so the thread fitted it. :-(
I went through my stuff to see if I still have it, but I think I ditched it. I'll look again, and if I can find it, it's yours. The Proquip version was called the Wilcannia.

The only time that’s ever happened to me is when i didn’t put the hose down the filler neck far enough, Soon as there was pressure It flick back out. Blokes running everywhere as i was showing someone how it works
Murphy’s law . That was around 15 years ago now.Filled mine in Mayford Spur this year as the jerry was leaking and it’s around 15 years old and it’s now in a metal recycle bin. Virtually no Diesel anywhere else just wiped my hands with wet wipes and i hate the smell of diesel…
Oh there’s a long range tank in now…
I think that's exactly what happened to me. She'll be right, just poke the hose in the filler and all will be easy. Then pop..The only time that’s ever happened to me is when i didn’t put the hose down the filler neck far enough, Soon as there was pressure It flick back out.
