Being a mover I never know where Ill be nor when I get there what Ill be doing. So I carry an, older, Coleman PolyLite, I guess, 2 Litre Water Jug. My concern is if anyone knows if Coleman made these with O rings. Kind of older, the promo advert of Ray Andrews Ford of Covina California is no longer so that kind of older. Just starting to show leaking. Cant find any O rings from Coleman, well not in stock anyway. Anyone know of some alternatives to Coleman specific O rings?

I don't think they were designed to have Orings, I'm assuming you're talking about the top lid.

Have you looked at this site?

I'm assuming you're talking about a jug similar to these?

Yeah I dont think they ever were designed to have an o ring but Im in need of one. Mine is simular to yours, its a two litre blue jug 5590 on the site, which I have in fact looked through their site.... no such luck yet....

May be able to find sheet cork at an old school hardware store and cut a disc / gasket... I have a slick lil' Olfa circle cutter that works great for cutting gaskets like this...

Cork isnt really what I'd like to use. It works great, dont get me wrong... I have crap luck with the material is all.... breakage, loads.
