Thread: Scepter Jerry Can

    Scepter Jerry Can

    Hey Gang,

    I'm organizing for a road trip in July. My wife and I will be taking my folks on a road trip from Haines, AK around to Whitehorse, Yukon and back down to Skagway, AK.

    I have a surplus 5 gallon steel Jerry can but the fuel nozzle stinks. It leaks like a sieve, so I'm considering ordering two Scepter Jerry Cans and one of their nozzles. http://www.equipt1.com/h/index.php?k...ge=shop.browse

    Anyone use them? Who has the best prices?

    Thanks,

    Erich

    the only problem, they take forever to drain...... which nozzle are you using on the surplus cans?

    How do they pour? Do they gulp and collapse or do they have some sort of vent in the nozzle?

    That's what I was wondering.

    I bought my surplus one from CheaperThanDirt and the nozzle too. It's a cheap made in china version made with that articulating metal so you can bend it. The seal on the can sucks. The can itself is great.

    I'll get some pics when I get home.

    I use a modified Wedco nozzle, make sure the seal is tight. I did get a nato version with a rubber tube, I then took the tip from the cheap flex one like you have and attached to the end of the rubber nozzle. My new nozzle works like a champ....

    The Scepter cans take 4 times, if not longer to empty, compared to the NATO cans

    Here's my current set up with a NATO can.

    Bruce, does your nozzle look like mine?



    The latch "should" tighten it down enough to create a seal, but not on mine.

    I don't want it to take for ever to empty the can, but I REALLY don't want to spill fuel all over myself and my rig. I would be stoked to fix the leak, but I don't have a clue how to at this point

    expedition exchange carries a Wedco nozzle for 10 bucks. Might just have to give it a shot. https://www.expeditionexchange.com/wedco/

    I can't tell if it would fit though. The caption says "This spout will fit only the "V" type of Jerrycans with the locking pins on the cap and will not fit other types of Jerrycans without the locking pins"
    Side by side they look pretty identical

    I picked up 3 of the OD Scepter cans, 1 siphon line and 1 nozzle from Paul May @ Equipt1. He was helpful in getting all of the items for both of my Death Valley trips One thing to note on these items: Make sure you don't fill them up all the way as the fuel will expand... (duh.. stupid me). Anyway the first DV trip I did I ended up filling em up quite a bit that when opening the lid a bit of the fuel came out No biggie but something to note. Outside of that they're pretty leakproof! Love the siphon line btw A must have!

    You'll love it although it's $$$ but I believe it's well worth it

    Re: Scepter Jerry Can

    Erich, you need a new can or a new nozzle because I have a new version of yours and it doesn't leak a drop.
