Reply To: Pressure rating for OMC 1950’s tanks

[GARY]

It occurred to me that my 80s 5 gal Eagle gas cans were similar in purpose and construction to the subject OMC outboard gas cans except they do not automatically vent.I called Eagle mfg tech dept. and they told me that every can they ship is pressure tested twice,once at 10 psig for leakage and then at 25 psig for structural integrity.I know this is not sufficient to answer Georges question,but might provide a little insight.
