Ca ha stupid emissions regulations. And that specific can doesn't have a slow pouring valve so it could spill a little bit. Ca doesnt like it when you spill gas into nature

Quadratecs website is weird. You can go thru categories and not find something. But if you just search Gerry can it pops up

Agreed. Either way though, great find. Going to have to order one of these in the next week or two.

For the same reason the jk is so expensive. There is demand. People wanna drive a modded jk and wheel it. They need gas. Bumpers get built to hold Gerry cans. So they charge alot for the necessary extra gas

I bought two from them for abut 105 total and sold one for 70. The cost to me for my can was 35. Also, as stated below this original quote, I use a super syphon so I don't need to move or dismount my jerry can to gas up. While the transfer problem is solved with the super syphon, I CAN'T STAND CANS THE LEAK FUEL WHILE WHEELING. That is why I pay extra for the NATO cans.

Oh, and CA banned these cans too! Figures the state would continue to be an emberassment to the other 49.
