[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 85964, member: 2768"] They're pretty good cans considering what's available here in the US. I actually have the red Blitz gas can you bought. They do the job but they're really not very good. They're thin wall and they expand and contract like balloons in the heat and cold weather. But they're probably as good a plastic can as is available here in California and the US. I believe the best plastic cans are made by Sceptre and their wall thickness is such that they don't swell up in the heat. Unfortunately they're not really available here in the US. You might be able to get them if you use them for water ;) ;) ;) [IMG]http://www.sceptermilitary.com/sites/scepter_military/images/160x/160_group_gas.jpg[/IMG] For combat units on the move, small canisters that can be carried and poured by hand and moved around a battle zone by front-line vehicles are a crucial link in the fuel and water supply network. Scepter has been building and perfecting commercial fuel cans for decades and has evolved that experience into a complete line of Military specification fuel canisters and accessories. The Scepter Military Fuel Canister (MFC) was developed by Scepter to meet design and performance requirements set by the U.S. Army and Canadian Forces for leak-proof, rugged, safe, dependable and cost-effective plastic jerry canisters. Scepter has produced and delivered over one million MFCs. Vehicle and other OEM defense contractors can design equipment with carrying fixtures and brackets that are uniformly designed because of the standardized dimensions of the fuel canisters (and the Scepter water canisters). Features of the Scepter Military Fuel Can Flat-sided and rectangular shape - Burns in a fire, but will not explode Three integral handles; carry two cans in each hand - Cap retainer straps are colour coded to type of fuel Accepts pour spouts - Fits standard pattern vehicle brackets for liquid storage containers Air-vent tube in neck keeps pouring smooth - Inside threads accept adapters for stoves and heaters Air chamber at the top; the container will float - Full line of Scepter accessories available - pour spouts, adapters, etc. An economical and user-friendly fuel storage and transportation solution - Easy-to-open twist cap can be operated while wearing environmental or NBCW protective clothing I know when they are available for water use ;) they're about $100 each (as I recall). If I can buy two or three of them I will. And if I can get more I'll see if you guys want some :) [B][U][URL="http://www.sceptermilitary.com/fuel_containers/"]Link to above info[/URL][/U][/B] [/QUOTE]
