Am I mistaken that I read there is a rotopax container that is black that "could" be used with fuel? I thought I read that only one vendor carries this....

They don't make a black fuel tank for use in the states. Federal regulations and what not. They do make them in black for use elsewhere.

This is from rotopax.com's Flickr page. Looks like liquid storage to me. Now, where to get one? I looked at all products on their site and the only black container they sell currently, seems to be a storage pack. So it seems they're out there somewhere if you gotta have one. Good luck!

I'm not sure if it's a state or a federal law but, containers that hold gas on vehicles are required to be red.

Doesn't seem to be available. Plus, you'll want a storage for gas that is made specifically for fuel as composite materials are different for different liquids. I guess you are back to rattle can and a red rotapax. Or just have them powdercoated... :idontknow: :cheesy:

Don't forget that black draws heat like no other color. That said, you can do whatever you want with the red or white Rotopax once you own them. I prefer to leave them in red so people know they are fuel cans in case of an accident.

LOL!!!

I have no want for black fuel cans but I was compelled to search for them just to see if I could find some actually molded in black. I guess I've got too much free time. I went so far as to search on the "worldwide" setting on eBay. I found blue-kerosene, maroon-oil/gas mix, yellow-diesel and the red and white. Guess it's down to powdercoat after all!

I had the AEV fuel caddy...it's sold and long gone. I was just hoping to keep with the all black theme with the rotopax. Is it a big deal? No, but of I had a choice between black or red, there would be no contest.
