I thought that was too good to be true.
I just went on craigslist and found a USMC GI can for $15 (ugly but salvageable.) The guy said to come before noon 'cause he lived in the "hood" and it wasn't safe after noon. I'm wondering if it's worth the risk but I'm cheap soooo.... I hope I'll be on here tomorrow saying I scored well. Wish me luck.

I made the mistake of using a water based degreaser followed by a water rinse and letting it dry and came back a month later to find this. It is mainly a surface rust and I don't think there is any significant pitting. Any recommendations as to what to do? Pour some vinegar in there, followed by water rinse followed by an acetone rinse to absorb the water and then fill with gas? Any other cheap and simple homebrew method to take care of this?

Weak vinegar solution, followed by a baking soda rinse, followed by a clear water rinse. You could also do a final rinse with denatured alcohol to grab any remaining water. I'd do it on a hot sunny day and let mother nature dry out what's left.

Well, yea, I was just trying to answer his question. Some people like to use them anyway. My Scepter spout o-ring began to split within a few months of using it with gasoline, so I replaced it with a viton o-ring. (Yes, it is the larger Diesel spout) Old O-Ring, it has several splits and broke when I removed it: 
Viton O-Ring installed: 
Now, whether it was a defective O-Ring or the gasoline caused it to crack, I don't know. I do know that the Viton ring has been in place now for 3-4yrs without problems. and it cost me like a buck. |

At the bottom of the page they mention available colors being anything in the RAL catalogue. Does anyone know how many a person would need to buy to get the color they want? (RAL 1021 is hilarious, btw) I'd buy a couple in RAL 8000 or 7008, but I couldn't come up with enough for a full pallet (56) of them. http://www.ralcolor.com/ |

Broke out the label maker.
I did this partly for inventory/data reasons and to test out my new label maker. (The cans are full, I just wasn't sure if I wanted to mark the fill date with another method yet.)   Label maker is a Brother Ptouch. The tape I used is 12mm. |

Nice job labeling the cans, but I can speak from experience about PTouch labels.
They don't last. You will come back and find blank labels. You might want to consider taking and covering them with clear tape. |

Recently saw this notice from DeutscheOptik:

Anyone besides me think these CARB nozzles are non-compliant with the ADA? |

In 44 pages has there been talk of protecting the bottom of metal cans?
One scrape along concrete and the paint is gone, and therefore the metal protection. Would a couple of layers of rhino liner on the bottom 1/4 of the can do the trick? |

These nearly cubic cans available everywhere are so stupid They are made by Scepter and sold a few different places. I bought a couple from a local PepBoys http://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9163096/00181 (cheaper than basspro) and I posted them somewhere in the Fuel Can Oracle. :) They are OK. Made by Scepter, but much thinner plastic than a Scepter MFC, However, they do hold up under pressure (even in a Texas summer). Being thinner, they swell more than MFC's. . Neither of the cans I have has failed. I use them as my "everyday" fuel cans for lawnmowers, etc. I replaced the CARB spouts with some older non-CARB spouts that I had laying around. This is how they look compared to Scepter MFC's: 
ETA: My post in the Fuel Can Oracle is page 17. WOW, I only paid $14.99+tax/ea. in 2012 for those cans at pepboys. Had them for 3yrs, no problems. |

Hmm.
Seems ok then for simple gas storage at house (vs transporting gasoline around). How about sealing? EZ-POUR sells plain caps (THESE). Do all these cans these days have the same thread pitch and diameter? I can get one EZ-POUR nozzle, leave out the vent from the cans, and store the gas using those regular caps. I suppose I could ................... just brainstorming here. Edit: One thing I've always done with my cans is fill them to the brim, then squish the side with my leg, then seal it up. If it expands out again then I don't really worry about expansion lol. Though I'll likely have a condensation issue at some point. So much for that can. But if stays sealed, then I'm good. |

Like I said, I have never had a problem with them leaking (air or fuel), I used the caps that came with the cans and simply replaced the spouts. The EZ Pour Spout will probably fit without problem, but, worse case scenario, you can just use the caps that come with the cans with the EZ pour spout. The cans don't swell THAT much, but still more than a MFC, which swell more than the metal NATO cans. I tend to fill my LTS cans pretty full as well, but they do still swell a bit. They swell less than the cans you buy at Walmart. Walmart "balloon can" in the Texas heat:

1: By getting rid of the air you only have the fu3el expansion to deal with, and liquids expand less than gasses 2: He is effectively "cold springing" the can. As the liquid expands the can sides will bell out to their normal dimensions first. Does it make any difference? Probably not. |
