If I used this jerry can for my ATV would the can explode due to it being in the sun all the time and being shaken up while off-roading?

I rode through the Mojave desert with this container in 115° F + temps. It never leaked. It is plastic so the only spark hazard might possibly be from static electricity, which would not be a problem on a hot day. So, I would say, no, at least no more than any other gas container that meets US standards.

The can appears to be as solid as a brick. It saved me this weekend when my trike ran out of gas. I have not smelled any fumes while it's been stored in my trike.

We have this in our trike trunk at all times.Lots of riding on the back roads of New England. Not a problem so far.Leave some room for expansion and I put an old sock over the cap in case of leaks.Have had not at this point. Great can to have.

We have hooked this up to our 4 wheeler ATV and it works perfectly. We had to use additional straps to tie it down because once we got the water in the tank it was unstable. We use it to spray fertilizer and weed control.

I believe that as long as you store this unit without tipping it on its sides, the movement while driving itself won't affect your ability to use it. Leave it on its feet when you store it in your RV.

I would think you can. It's a sealed unit made for ATV's. The LED's produce very little heat so you wouldn't have to worry about the cold rain on hot glass. I use my lights on my tractor in all kinds of weather & I haven't had any problems.

Ah,boy, that's a tough one.... Mine is fully exposed on a forklift and in the heat of the day the entire forklift is too hot to touch. It was 110* here yesterday, and I really try not to be outside working during the hottest part of the day... The steering wheel in my 09 Silverado gets too hot to handle if the sun is directly on it. I will try to check out the "heat" aspect of the knob today, and respond again...Ray

Looking at the one I have, I don't think I would mount it without protection from the elements. Direct rain wouldn't do it any good. My manual that came with it said nothing about where to mount it, only leave space for air circulation. I'm using mine in a 5th wheel camper. Hope this helps. Great product.

It is very solid. Unfortunately, I never go off-road so I have no idea whether it can withstand jostling.

This has not been a issue for me. I use the carrier on my Nissan Juke and load in two camp trunks and tons of loose towels and pillows. My guess is, if you use the carrier as intended and not load in rocks, you should be fine. This is more of a space saver than heavy duty hauler. Hope that helps...also, sun roof should add some rigidity.

I don"t know just how tough it really is, but it is solidly built. For the price, if it were damaged you could probably forget it and buy another one. I think it most likely is gonna draw more current than your ATV can provide when transmitting high power.

I would strongly suggest against it. Over pressurizing can lead to the canister exploding. I saw one go once. Pretty scary.

Not really. None of the connections (barring perhaps connection from hub to wire) are ruggedized/weather proof. I wouldn't be too worried in a light sprinkle, or on wet roads, but I wouldn't want to ride in the rain.

This happened to me too- it actually melted to the windshield and when I finally got it off there was a black rubber circle on the windshield. Now the suction doesn't work anymore. Be careful leaving it in the sun for long periods of time.

I believe it can be if the atv has a towing fitting. I pull it with my lawn tractor. An atvcan go much faster than a lawn tractor though, so I would be careful to keep the speed down when pulling the trailer.

We used one of these for a heavy duty trailer, cant remember the tire size now but it was big. Worked fine but... its not the strongest material and I am waiting for it to give. My vehicles do spend a lot of time in serious off road conditions, that is why I worry. If this is for normal use, you will be fine.

Hi, I got this to store my hunting gear in the basement. From what I have read this bin is pretty tough for hauling and storing tools in trucks and sheds so exposure to sun shouldn't be a problem to a level. I just don't know about long term exposure to elements. Its built like a tank though. ..

I have used it a number of times in my UTV with no problem. It really depends on the battery. If you use it as a typical winch it should be no problem.

Sure would! As long as you have it exposed to the sun!!! It is perfect for camping and remote venues! Have fun
