Thanks. due to carb rules, there are a lot of "water" containters sold now, that can be used for gas (check the tread on how to tell if they are okay or not) also, the thread talks about what to look for in jerry cans and also talks about the plastic racing style containers. |

I have ten of These. They do not leak. They are fully welded, great paint and coated inside and out. I carried 4 with me to southeast Texas last week while conducting rescues and resupply. I don't know how much gas I transferred to people from those cans to fill generators and gas cans but it was a lot. I can't speak for anyone else's experience but these are the only ones I'll buy.

I have a dozen of the TSG 5 Gallon jugs from Walmart. They have all been "fixed" with the water kits from Amazon. I have most of them filled with non-ethanol gas in preparation for hurricane season. I wouldn't recommend very long storage with them, but they are fine for a few months during hurricane season.

I don't know. I went with metal ones.
there is a thread that seems to say there are some made with thinner plastic now, so you may want to call and check https://www.ar15.com/forums/outdoors/Scepter-fuel-cans/18-689580/? also you'll have to replace the gasket, and they may leak do searches like this, in bing or google (search term without paren) site:ar15.com e.g. scepter water can gas site:ar15.com |

Looks like the Roverparts and deutscheoptik cans are the same cans. Going to go this route. Is there a big difference in the flexi and straight spout?

I bought some of the gunwritr deal and like them. The wavian spout is amazing. Put it on the can, turn can upside down, set into fuel inlet and watch every drop end up in tank. Sometimes it didn't want to breath properly but still worth it. The cans on wavian's site with spout are $80 but they say they are legal in 50 states which to me is a big deal. The spout I believe is carb approved. My polish cans rubbed paint off each other when transported in the back of a truck. Even if you don't get the wavian cans, definitely look at the spout.

I am glad I have several of the older Bitz and similar plastic containers. Not suitable for all users but for home use they are great.
EZ Pour spouts fit them well. $67 for a metal can seems high to me |

Would be worth it, if they where $10 a piece with free shipping. Would pay more for better quality.

Not a jerry can, but I bought one of these in the one gallon size. It will outlast me, and no leaks. Consider the weight of the 5 gallon can and the ease of use given the configuration.

I like these as they wont fall over if not secured in the back of the truck.
Only about $35 and have sealed spring loaded cap. They will not stack and store like jerry cans, but I don't store that much.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'm learning to hate those. If there is pressure in the can the round spout can spray to the side and get you. If you turn it up it will splash. Its difficult to control the valve or pour out the last quart. If they are the safety style like the ones pictured above they are probably ok but I'll pass on them from now on. |
