Midnight Auto Parts worked well for folks when I lived in Brooklyn NY in the 70's.
All you need is a black hat and gloves and slippers.

I was reading cans today. Kmart has Illinois made units. I bought one blue water container, haha. I'm going to fill with kerosene. Walmart does not have water or kerosene cans. I saw a yellow diesel can in kmart.

My blue kerosene can, which my supermarket gas station gave me for free one day, because I needed water for my car. Customer appreciation write off. They let me fill it with water. After putting kerosene in it, I found the o ring broke in the cap. Now when I pour, it comes out the cap and nozzle. Stuff all over the place, and the nozzles screwed up too. The blue water container, will serve me and my hand pump well. Why are water cans also blue?

According to Constitutional Conservatives, we should not. According to America and business hating liberals, any chance to sue the rich white evil capitalists is a victory for the proletariat.

A great fire starter is diesel fuel and dryer lint. A little dab of diesel will do it, slow hot burning and no flash fire.

So, how do you start a fire with diesel and dryer lint? I can't quite envision that. Do you take two clumps of diesel lint, and rub them together?

When we were clearing trees and brush for a ski slope in the 60's we would take a tractor tire, lay it on its side and add 4-5 gallons of fuel oil.
Pile brush on to a height of 4-5 feet, and 10-20 around. Then we'd pour some gas over the tire and make a 'fuze' about 10 feet long with gas. Done right, on a calm day, with a little extra gas on the tire, you could lift the whole brush pile a foot or two in the air.
No one ever lost an eyebrow-- and amazingly enough we never started any forest fires.

Several years ago I went on my annual 'burn the brush piles' expedition. Several piles as big as you describe but as high as I could pile brush. I was clear cutting a Willow patch so all hte brush was from the current year and hard to start.
Method was to try to tunnel in as far as I could, some newsprint, some good dry kindling then deisel poured on the pile above it and keep adding diesel as the fire died down until the brush was going well.. I was working on 4 piles that day going from one to another in rotation adding the diesel.
Pour from 5 gallon can, Whoosh! and on to the next. Never gave it a thought that that "Whoosh!" is not what diesel does. About the 3rd go around I looked down and saw a flame flickering from the can spout, slapped my glove over it and took a break until the shakes quit. I had grabbed the gas can instead of the dieel.

Sounds like a near death experience. Twelve weeks in the burn ward is no fun.
I'm thankful that [diety of your choice] protected you.

Tru but I am reactionary and label the diesel can. Now I have to work on reading the label. :)
BTW teh problem with the new EPA cans slow pour is to vent the can. Small hole, screw and done. Tell the EPA they can look me up for a demo.

Per Steve B:
I fell out of love with steel cans after a 1-gallon can of lawn mower gas rusted out around the bottom seam - allowing gasoline to leak out over the floor.
It also validated my practice of always having a separate building for combustibles and toxics.
