Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
I hope my friends up north can help me out. I'd like to get some Scepter military fuel cans, but because of our emissions laws they aren't available for retail sale in the U.S.
Are Scepter MFCs available for sale in Canada? I'll be passing through on my way to Alaska in September and I'd like to get some good fuel cans if I can.

Specter, or Sceptre?
(If you buy the cans here, you can buy the spouts/vents for pretty cheap on ebay...)

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
Haha, oops. Yes, Scepter seems to be the correct spelling.
If they are available for sale in Canada, where do I need to look for them? Thanks for the lead on the pour spouts. I'm planning on using a siphon to top off the truck when needed, but a spout couldn't hurt to have.
I'm also looking at Rotopax for fuel storage, but you sure need a lot of them to feed a Power Wagon!

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
After a little more searching, it looks like the cans I am after are available at Princess Auto for the low, low price of $75 Canadian Pesos!

Scepters often show up on Expedition Portal, sometimes in large quantities.

I have a few water cans that say that. I rescued them from the dumpster before a change of command inventory. Gotta love that fraud, waste and abuse!

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
I see those cans all the time. Seems too expensive. I just get the poly red ones or yellow. They have a new design one that's narrower and taller and finally has a vent on the back again like the old school ones. That works for me. Is there an advantage to spending $50 more on the metal ones?

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
Yea those guys. Much better design then the ones that use a second tube in the spout. Most of those I have sitting around have all been drilled in the handle and a small bolt put into em to vent. But for the 20bucks that's the way to go I think. Just make sure when they aren't being transported leave the cap a tiny bit loose.

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
I just checked the ones low sky first posted and those aren't the metal ones. Those are poly too. Just diff design and threaded neck. Get one of those and 3 of the others. Then pour each into that can as needed. Save a ton of money you can put towards extra fuel

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
So, I forgot to follow up on this, but Operation Gas Can was a success, though a bit of a complicated one. I couldn't find any Princess Autos along my planned route that had any of these in stock, but they were in stock at their east coast distribution center. I ended up having to make a hotel reservation in Kamloops, BC and having the cans shipped to the hotel. Purolator managed to deliver on time, and I was able to pick up my 6 new gas cans at the hotel when I checked in. These cans are way more durable than anything we have on the shelf in the US, and should last for a long, long time.

Re: Attention Canadians: Fuel can question
Fun fact for the Rambox owners, your bed will fit 7 military fuel or water cans just perfectly. Here's 25 gallons of gas and 10 gallons of water. Gas goes up $1 if you get too far from Anchorage, so I've learned to just start carrying enough for the round trip. I transfer to the gas tank with a shaker siphon.
