Its not, I don't think its a bad product, but I'm sceptics about its claim that ut doesn't emit vapors. Gas naturally gives off vapors, that's why gas cans expand when its filled. Add the fact that it is inside of a probably black saddle bag which is an oven in the summer, I just don't see how it won't leak some gas vapors.

I'm interested to see how it works out, so yes, please keep me informed. I'm just a negative minded person, and expect it to leak, possibly not during the first use, but eventually.

I have one with the same nozzle. It was blown up like a balloon after sitting in my shed for a while. This one will too, I'm confident.

There are more gas stations KS than there are in west TX. Sign on the road even says, "last gas for 100 miles".

And what's with the KS bashing? There isn't jack shit in Iowa or Nebraska and nobody mentions them.

Point taken. I'm not here for long, a transfer to TX or FL will made in a few years. Screw this flat wasteland, I need either warmth or some curves.

Tucked into it's place


Dispensing position


While I dispensed it in the garage just to simply empty it till the next road trip. It worked as advertised. Very well!
