NATO Gas Cans

[jennis]

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 ?

 

[D-Boy]

Valpro Ltd look way better than the Chinese one

I'd buy at least 2 if the price was right.

 

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

I'm in for a half dozen if the price is reasonable.

 

[MWBRAZE]

Id get a couple for the Jeep

 

[KaizenZ]

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.

 

[aum]

Not the cheap Chinese knock off and i am in for at least 4.

 

[ARmike]

I'd be in for some high quality metal ones for sure.

Just out of curiosity, whats the big advantage over plastic ones? Plastic ones are cheap and a dime a dozen and last forever. Im not against these, they look great, Im just wondering what makes them "OMG MUST HAVE"

There's a reason why the military use the metal ones instead of the plastic ones.

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.

price would be around $30 for Chinese and $40 for European made


Big issue will be cost of shipping to you.

 

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

If the European ones are the good quality cans, those are the ones I'd be interested in.

 

[facemelter]

count me in for 4 of the european made! it would be awesome if you could bring them in.

 

[Canuck1978]

I saw these at Princess Auto today FOR 50 OR 60 each brand new looking. Not sure origin.

 

[GLOCK_PERFECTION]

I'd be interested in european ones.

 

[WetCoast]

These would be the perfect candidate for a local pickup at a Burnaby HCAS show for us locals. Shipping multiples of something so bulky might get pricey. Possible?

That's what I worried about. I don't want you to bring in something that you can't make money on. Perhaps open the lid and bulk pack 12 gauge inside them, that way you're not "shipping a container full of air"

Just down the street from my office. I'll call tomorrow to see if they sell to the public.

I would be interested in the scepter water jugs. I have 2 scepter plastic cans and quite like them.
