About ten years back I’d had enough of dealing with squat, irregularly shaped leaky polyethylene “cans” (although they DID have the PRE-CARB spouts and vents), said the heck with it and blew a few hundred dollars on these: https://www.roverparts.com/Parts/GJC20K4

$154 for four of them. I spent $80 on four of those crappy plastic jugs at Walmart today.

I'd have easy spent double on these solid Jerry cans. Might just do that. Spend money on quality and you only cry once.

Buy the metal/segmented bendable spouts (the plastic ones break, I bought a foot of 1” ID viton hose, cut in half to fix the two I had) and a set of gaskets. While the lining handles additives just fine, the seals are NOT viton and break down pretty fast, I’ve replaced all of them in the time I’ve owned them.

I THINK there are other companies selling these under different brand names. Scepter, others. But these have served me well.

Oh, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve filled them up, put ‘em in the back of my truck thinking they were tied/bungee’d and they’ve fallen over en route to home.

They don’t leak.

The polyethylene ones? Like a sieve. Fuel evaporates through the “seals” on them, too.
