...but now I need a 5 gallon jug for the track and summit sells only one type...whats up with that?
You live in Cali and need to ask that quest. 
Thanks to C.A.R.B. that's about the only type of fuel jug they will sell now 
Might be able to cicumvent the stupid by buying a seperate cap/filler tube.

I bought some VP labeled with the old style tube/spout from the local VP fuel place. They aren't fuel jugs, they are water transport containers!  Gotta love CA... The one that I got from Summit with that carb approved spout leaked more fuel in one 5 gallon transfer than I had dropped in 5 years of using the old style. Useless POS IMHO

I have 4 of them lined up (carb jugs) in my trailer and they work just fine (less fumey as well), if you use race gas or any gas for that matter you should replace them about every 5 years anyway, they will spring leaks / cracks over time.
Keith...What brand are the ones you have? I have a hard time filling with a hard nozzle into my stock fuel cap/filler on the challenger because I can't invert the jug all the way....
The summit ones are kind of expensive too....

They are from Summit, had them 3 years now. I would suggest going to Home Depot and getting 12" of the appropriate size clear vinyl hose to slip on to make filling a stock tank easier.
