A decent GI fuel can can only be detected if full or empty by picking it up and weighing it. They dont leak, they dont smell and they dont discharge vapors. Which is why they filled entire liberty ships with filled fuel cans. On arrival..they didnt need to be filled..they could be issued as is, right out of the boat. http://www.olive-drab.com/images/jerrycan_metal_gas_375.jpg http://store.colemans.com/cart/gerry-can-us-gi-p-910.html The NATO cans are decent enough as well http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e370/JeepDawg16/Jeep/DSCN7300.jpg http://store.colemans.com/cart/gerry-can-nato-fair-condition-p-908.html?currency=USD http://www.survivalmonkey.com/portable_fuel_storage.htm 6 cans for $150 http://store.colemans.com/cart/gerry-can-nato-6-cans-p-909.html The Plastic Fuel Cans made by Spectre of Canada are very good as well..but they are current US issue. Spouts will not interchange, which is why I recommended finding a type and sticking with it. GI (steel) Nato, or current GI MFC (plastic) Then there are decent commercial cans built along the same lines... http://www.expeditionexchange.com/wedco/ Water cans are also something that folks may consider...shrug But hey...if you can simply get into ones vehicle and drive to the corner store and pick up fuel/water and potato chips during an emergency..no big deal.

One..they are far thicker and are designed for rough handling AND rough life spans. They are ok..but they do puncture a bit easier on hot days than do steel cans. Id not be too concerned about their slightly less attractive construction if I could only get plastic GI cans or the red gas plastic gas cans from the hardware store. Shrug. And they fit the standard cage type GI type fuel can carriers so can be secured on a vehicle, boat, trailer etc etc Gunner One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
