Will they ship to the US?

Their site says they cannot ship the Scepter cans outside of Canada, however I think they will ship parts.

Site is in Canadian Dollars (of course) and I have no idea what the shipping costs are(they use FedEx).

Could not hurt to email them if you really need the parts.

They will ship parts along with spouts, but not the cans themselves.

I checked Scepter's web site. I'd bought some direct from their military sales desk to an APO a few years ago. Seems their largest US military distributor is two miles away from me, think I'll blow off work early and go have a look.

Found the MFC lids in stock for fifteen bucks right here:

Tech Supply Inc

They had tan and green ones.

I ordered three MFC lids and a flange from DSTACTICAL and it cost me 101.96. Shipping was $17.00.. Not too bad as there are not too many places to get these parts. Still will have to try the other place mentioned above...

WiseguyThreeOne, you the man!

Not only do they have lids in stock, but they will sell MFC to those in non-CARB states.

Many thanks for the link.

Their explanation was that they had some manufactured in 2009 (preban cans), and those could be sold to me.

I've received shipping notification by UPS of a 40lb package, so it looks good.

I've said before, if anyone wants MFCs, usually missing the lids, check the dumpsters and junk shops around any military base. Clean 'em out, new lids, you're good to go.

What is the flange for?  What does it do?

Grove, the cap on an MFC is made up of several parts, and it's like that old song about the leg bone being connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bone to the hip bone, and so on.

You have the threaded cap. The flange assembly goes inside the cap. The gasket sits on the flange. There is a little plastic tit on the backside of the flange, it sticks up through a hole in the cap, and that's what the strap/cap retainer clips onto. This allows the caps to spin freely to screw on and off.

Not everyone is interpreting the laws that way.

These are the only nationwide regs

US EPA  EPA has adopted nation-wide regulations similar to CARB requirements. All Portable Fuel Containers manufactured after December 31st 2008 must be EPA Certified.
CPSC The Consumer Product Safety Commission requires that all Portable Fuel Containers manufactured after January 2009 be Child Resistant.

I ordered 8 cans from them yesterday and they are shipping to Oregon which is not on the list. The first thing that the women did who I spoke to did was put me on hold to check the list and make sure that Oregon wasn't on it.
