With it being NATO I heard they are stamped "for use with Chevron 87 octane only " do I dare fill these canisters with 87 octane from Esso ?

Valpro Ltd look way better than the Chinese one
I'd buy at least 2 if the price was right.
I'm in for a half dozen if the price is reasonable.

Id get a couple for the Jeep
If they were the NATO cans, I would pick up a couple.
Welds on the metal ones give. I use these,

They have been through the desert in Moab several times. I also use the sceptre water cans. I find 10L to be the best size for storage and weight distribution on a rig set up for expedition.
I bought a bunch off Daves Surplus years ago. You can find the fuel cans at PA but they never seem to have the nozzles???
I rarely use the run of the mill CT plastic cans, I've had a few collapse on me when empty and driving up severe elevation changes.
Not the cheap Chinese knock off and i am in for at least 4.

I'd be in for some high quality metal ones for sure.
It's easy to be brave from a safe distance.
There's a reason why the military use the metal ones instead of the plastic ones.Originally Posted by jcoulson64
Metal gas cans are a lot better for long term storage. They're also less likely to vent fumes - that way you can keep a full can inside your trunk.
I'd definitely take a few decent quality ones.
