I got 4 tan lightly-used Scepter MFCs (military fuel cans) at the gun show in Austin Texas today for 16 bucks each.  Diesel gaskets, good lids, tan straps.  

The seller said he has more.  So if you are local to Austin, it might be worthwhile going to the gun show.  His table is on a corner in the back.

I got a bunch from him a while back. Good cans, great price, and nice guy.

Check the seals on them though...

Bob, can they be used for regular gas or does it have to be used for diesel?

Probably lacking the viton gasket for gasoline.  The standard gasket will swell when used with gas and cause the lid to stick or worse the inner part of the cap to break.

Someone will be along with a link for the viton gasket if you need it.

I have 2 gasoline and 1 surplus that was grey, K-1.  The K-1 strap broke and I replaced it with standard green.  I don't leave gas stored in that one.
