Cool stuff Rory. Looks like a pretty tough can.

Now do the same tests on the HF can!

if it would almost float with water, there is a good chance it will float with gas.
Since you know it doesn't leak, you could try it with your other can that hasn't been abused to make sure.

The first can leaked during the drop test, thats the second can taking the baseball and behind the atv. So it too a beating and I wouldn't trust the handle to hold.

When I order some more of these I may just try these test on the HF, May get some surplus cans from Ft. Bragg too.

I downloaded the editing software free last night, shows how user-friendly the software is. Called VideoPad Video Editor.
I couldn't get the upload to YouTube feature to work but I just saved it to my videos and uploaded from there.
