and i dont mean some carb compliant crap that a do-gooder out in california came up with that doesnt pour, is unvented, and what not. can we not get a group buy out of europe or isreal or something to get a bunch of REAL HONEST TO GOD gas cans that POUR GAS?
Sorry to rant, but this is utter bullshit. One state comes up with sill shat and its such a large market the rest of us suffer. there has to be someone, somewhere with a backstash of old nato cans.
Ideas? Im worn out from looking. the best ive found is d-optik which claims they have them and they are marked "not for fuel" just so they can sell to Californians. But i dont know...

I found used Scepter fuel cans on E-Bay, the trick is finding a fuel spout! I found a used 1 on E-Bay as well but it isnt the 3/4 " fuel spout. If you do come up with 1 let me know!

i dont mean to belabor whats probably obvious but do read german or is there a translated site? Is shipping outrageous (at this point that hardly matters, though). What i want is two fuel cans and would love to have a matching water can (but that may just be a pipe dream at this point) and would love to not sell one of my children to do it (unless they stay up all nite).

I don't understand the complaint. This is all you need (and maybe an extension hose). Unless you're in a speed race, it works a ton better than trying to hold the can, I don't care what great, wonderful nozzle you have:

See? Easy, peasy ...

I use a CARB Wedco style gas can and it actually works great. With the storage cap, it never leaks. The trick is to toss out the provided CARB nozzle and replace it with a plain nozzle of similar size. I got one from lowes and it works perfect. It never leaks and pours fast.

I found this website that I will probably end up ordering from:
hxxps://dstactical.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=scepter&x=0&y= 0
There was another site I found about a month ago from reading another one of the Jerry Can threads, but I appear to have not saved the link. If I remember correctly, they had NATO cans at $50 a pop. Wish I had saved the page link
