Where is everyone getting their cans

[tango_6]

I keep looking for 2 fuel cans and 1 or 2 water. All the ones for sale in the for sale section are states away and nothing is local.

Why do you need two fuel and water cans? The reasons can help us suggest good sources or alternatives.

I got scepter civy blue potable water from aubuchon hardware store for like @$15

I've always had to buy off the interweb. Not a bad deal, no tax and arrives at your door.

These rotopax are easy to find but not easy to get a 'good' price on. 99% of the time they are full retail.

Scepter fuel cans awesome but kinda hard to find. I got some a few years ago from the black market out of Canada and a few more a few days ago from 'gray' market out of California. Not sure how he got them and don't want to ask. The scepter water cans are easy to find and cheap.

What are you looking for and we can help you look....

^^^ Are you willing to bring them in the USA and ship them to people????

MWCs - Military Water Containers- 20L, military spec / contract supplier, same as Scepter, can be purchased directly from LCI, industries for the blind, for ~$25ea brand new.

They (used to?) offer free shipping for orders over $50. used to be able to get 3 for just over that.

I plan trips where I try to fill up when I get to half and know where the gas stations are along the ride but if I run low for some reason I would like to have spare fuel. As for water we are planning a trip to MY and Yellowstone and I would like to have water.

If someone wants Scepter cans they are available at any Princess Auto in Canada but they aren't cheap ($65 CAD). Fuel and water, both the 5 gallon and the mini jugs that I think hold 2 gallons.

Might have to stop in Winnipeg in three weeks on my way to the fishing cabin. Current exchange rate puts them under $60USD ($75CAD)

I use the military Scepter cans - I have plenty of storage so I carry an empty water and an empty diesel can.

If I were to buy cans today I would look seriously at the Rotopax. I like the efficient design and storage.

If you get them from Princess Auto, ensure they are using the proper diesel gasket ( yellow strap ) or if it is a gasoline gasket ( red strap ).
The gaskets are different for each fuel.

FYI, I only ever see the red strap, OD Green cans there.

Thanks a lot for this post. For this price, i will be ordering 2 of these just to have. I may need them someday.

Those are water containers, no spout other than the nub integral to the large cap. There are a lot of aftermarket and home-build solutions for adding spouts, hoses and spigots to them, though.
