I think DS Caddys were probably setup as an alternative to the jersey modeller systems.....?

That's where mine came from, he stopped making them. The one I have used a plastic box which isn't petrol proof so melts when the pump leaks, which Kavans all eventually do! Just replaced the gaskets in mine which sorts the problem. I heard he had a few complaints probably for this reason, so gave it all up. It wouldn't be difficult to make your own though.

They are designed to be screwed to a piece of ply for instance and then strapped to the can. Looking at your fittings, do these expand when you do the outside nut up. Obviously you cannot access a nut from the inside.


I think the fitting with tube and clunk attached is fitted from the inside then a nut fitted to the outside, fiddly but doable.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThe marine / outboard engine fuel tanks might offer a suitable source of non spill storage for petrol. the tank in this advert coupled with a marine priming pump. Thats what my original Du bro container uses and still going strong since 1995.

Whooo! Thanks for that suggestion Kevin. Now that is just the job, why didn't I think of that? :S Many have integral fuel gauge too! A trip down to my local marine outboard shop then...
