Erich, before you ditch the one you have, try making a new gasket for it out of a doubled up innertube or something similar.

I thought I bought some new seals when I bought my cans. Not seeing them on the CTD site anymore though (they have nozzles, but not the jerry cans anymore)

I agree with you both. Replacing the nozzle seal is the way to go. The seal on the can itself is flawless. It's been holding a vacuum the since last fall. It was warm when I opened it last and it got VERY cold outside in the shed over the winter.
I'll see if I can find some rubber to make a new seal, but it might just be easier to buy that Wedco nozzle.Originally Posted by Cebby
P.S. Called a motel in Haines Junction, Yukon this morning to ask about gas prices. The guy figured they were about $1.10/liter = $4.16/gallon

I completely forgot about the Expedition Portal Forum.
They have a full thread with some very good reviews on Scepter Cans http://expeditionportal.com/forum/sh...ighlight=Jerry
And a very detailed review of the MFC (Military Fuel Cans) http://www.expeditionportal.com/equi...cepter_can.php
At this point I'm going to look at the only place in town that carries army surplus and see if they carry the steel cans.
I know shipping up here will be difficult and expensive. Either I buy one more steel can up here, or I get two Scepters from down south.
We'll see what I can find.
