[QUOTE="Glorybigs, post: 115051, member: 4096"] Guys, Here is the straight dope on the Scepter Military Fuel Cans (MFC's). The MFC's with similar color caps/straps/can body are mil-spec and made for fuel, meaning Diesel, JP8, Kerosene, etc. They have a rubber compound gasket not suitable for Gasoline. Some of these were ordered with yellow straps. The MFC's with Red color straps and drab colored caps/can bodies are mil-spec and made for Gasoline and when configured from the factory came with Viton gaskets that ARE suitable for Gasoline. Be cautious here, just because they have a red strap does not necessarily mean they have a Viton gasket, some less desirable folks just install a red ******** a fuel can and pass it off as being a Scepter Gasoline rated MFC. [B]If you use Gasoline in a standard MFC - It will [U]crack[/U] the cap flange![/B] These flanges are about impossible to get because Scepter stopped selling to civilians. When the rubber Fuel gasket is exposed to Gasoline it Shrinks and cracks the retaining flange on the cap flange. So...buy from a reputable seller or save yourself the headache and just purchase a Viton Gasket and replace the rubber one prior to filling with Gasoline. [/QUOTE]
