[QUOTE="David-Karratha, post: 660781, member: 22207"] Recently bought a bloody expensive plastic Jerry can for water; FrontRunner brand. Really liked the recessed tap in the base as it’s much less likely to get broken off while bumping around in the back of the loaded Ute on corrugated roads, so I figured the extra cost was worth it. Unfortunately, I’d had it for a few weeks before I tried laying it down while full - only to find the damned lid leaks like sieve. Lid seems ok and the o ring is still in place. Contacted FrontRunner and despite their much vaunted warranty, they’re not interested, simply because I didn’t keep my receipts from when I bought it (who keeps receipts for a plastic Jerry can for more than a day or two?). The retailer basically says the same - they want proof I bought it there, and simply tell me to talk to the manufacture. Dunno what the answer is apart from [I]caveat emptor[/I], but it’s the last time I’ll pay nearly $100 for a big plastic bottle. [/QUOTE]
