Quoted: https://deutscheoptik.com/20-Liter-Jerry-Can-SINGLE-CAN.html Are these legit? Civilian market cans seem to be shit now days. Kinda spendy but free shipping on 4 pack. Do you just get a couple spouts and some extra gaskets? Getting a spout for each can really drives the price up. Reviews online look good. There were several arf threads in the Google results but clicking them just takes u to the main gd page. Polish cans are good shit. I recall paying 20$ for em. |

You only need 1 spout. Swap it to each can as you need it.

I have had 4, for 3 or 4 years and don’t have any problems.
I purchased a nozzle but it was a pain to use, now I just use a super siphon hose. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You only need 1 spout. Swap it to each can as you need it. This is what I figured. Thinking 4 20s, 2 10s, 1 5, and 2 spouts and gasket kits would be a good starter kit. |

I have a pair and they are well made, better than the polish cans (I have a couple of them also, they are ok). The original “short” spouts were best. The camping action on the longer spouts that are now offered fail to lock in tight... or maybe that’s just the couple I have. Polish cans are a darker olive drab.

I like the German ones, but they don't have standard gaskets so I made my own. They also have this red fuel proof coating on the inside. I think I got them at Sportsman's Guide like 10 years ago. They are great, nothing leaks - ever

Quote HistoryI've got some of these as well- gtg. Make sure that you get the vented style, not the retarded California style that doesn't have a vent and that the nozzle is designed to mate with that vent. You want the free flowing spouts as well, not more retarded Cali stuff. |

Quoted: https://deutscheoptik.com/20-Liter-Jerry-Can-SINGLE-CAN.html Just be aware that, last I checked, standard spouts don't fit. So you wouldn't be able to use an adaptor to hook directly to your generator (if your generator has a fuel pump) http://lexingtoncontainercompanysonlinestore.mybigcommerce.com/jerry-can-adapter-1-tube/ Also: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Outdoors/FUEL-CAN-ORACLE/17-643480/?page=1 |

I keep mine filled with non-ethanol gas. Sometimes I go 4-5 year before using the fuel. For these longer times, I'll mix some in when filling up my truck. No stabilizer, no problemo. |

Do you put the pump down in the jerry-cans? I have a 7k watt honda with the cart style set up with the 5 gallon tank on top. Im pretty sure it doesn't have a fuel pump and just gravity feeds. I ordered my cans from the rover place and it says they're made by valpro. Not sure if these are the Polish made ones. |

Anyone thinking of ordering from Duetsche Optic must expect zero customer service. I ordered many of their NATO gas cans, and had one split in a very odd location. I tried to have the can warrantied as it was still fairly new. The guy I spoke with said he would ship a new can to me as it was an obvious manufacturing defect.
I waited and waited, and nothing ever showed up. After a while, I contacted them and a very bitchy woman said I would never get a replacement because she believed that it was my gas can holder that caused the leak. She would not listen to any amount of level headed reasoning or look at any high resolution photos.. I put a different gas can in the same gas can holder years ago, and I haven't sprung a leak yet, which proves that it was not the carrier. Also the carrier does not even touch the area of the original can that did spring the leak, but she wouldn't hear any of that. My only recourse is to tell others what a bitch their customer service manager is, and how she overturns the promises made by their other customer service representatives and won't even have the courtesy to tell you. |

The ones I picked up a few years back from Roverparts are Polish. All thanks to the big thread someone linked earlier, certainly didn't find these on my own.
 I went with ethanol-free gas (easy to find in the mountain west at Maverik stations) and Stabil. Filled up a few just before the lockdowns last March, will use and replenish this March. |

Im pretty sure it doesn't have a fuel pump and just gravity feeds. No external fuel pump. My Honda EU2200 has a fuel pump on board and will suck gas from the jerry can. Just swapping jerry cans is much safer than refueling a hot generator during an extended power outage. Also no down time. |

The cans also say only usable for non potable water storage....aren't these "gas cans"? What am I missing? |

So another question....it seems a lot of you guys are trying to store gas that doesn't have ethanol....Where I live it seems like all the gas stations have 10% ethanol. What's the downside? Does it do something to the cans?
I hope not, I just filled two of them.... |

I have 8 of them.
I can never seem to get the spouts to work without leaking, so I use a siphon transfer hose. I do use 4 for non-ethanol and the other 4 for 10% eth gas. I try to only store for one year or less before rotating the fuel thru my vehicles. I try to have about 100 gallons on hand during hurricane season and the off chance of snow(LOL!!) in SC. |
