The Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation 855-708-6333 yellow *water* jug
caps arrived in the mail today - and they are far too small.

Bummer.

That was just a dice roll.

Not even a good one.

Well, the *theory* was that Hopkins bought all the molds from the
now-defunct Blitz company *except* the gas-can molds, but, the
(bad) roll of the dice was that the caps *might* fit.

Clearly they're not even close.

I would *never* have expected a container that was used to hold a
toxic and dangerous chemical to be the same as one used for potable
water. Pipe and fittings for flammable gas and liquids are
intentionally made so they can't be confused.

I'm still waiting for my replacement caps from the other order.

If they're intended for gasoline containers, I'd give them a *much*
better chance of fitting. If they're meant for other liquids, not so
much.
