    After reading online I guess the ''premium'' ones are Valpro's

    If so, why don't you advertize them as such ? Partnumbers are VPred and VPgrn I guess I now know what the VP stands for...

    Cheers !

    Asking out of genuine curiosity:

    Why not HDPE ones?

    I like the metal ones visually, but is there a functional advantage?

    I have been using the plastic Scepter MFC fuel cans for years. They are far ahead of any metal jerry cans...

    I believe Metal cans are far superior for longer term storage. HDPE cans are only meant to transfer fuel not store. Note Race fuel does not come in plastic cans. I have several of CanadaAmmo’s premium cans, they are spectacular!

    I agree the metal CanadaAmmo cans look absolutely gorgeous. Do you have any sources to back up your claim of metal cans being far superior to HDPE ones for longer term storage? I would like to read more about this subject.

    HDPE will never rust, steel has the NATO badass look

    Steel will stand up to rough use, if you drag your can behind your APC or Tank Mad Max style, or if you like to toss it off of your roof
