The designs are completly different. The water can does not have an orings like the fuel cans do. Could you fill one with fuel? Probably. Would it seal tight? Maybe.
Is it a good idea? With sceptre cans selling used on eBay for $30-$40 maybe not. |

I've read a little bit through the Oracle... Very boring and way too technical for me. I was hoping someone would know of a quick conversion. Otherwise I'll have to engineer my own conversion. Last time I checked ebay, SCEPTER fuel cans were $120!

If you really want to do this:
http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=10&f=17&t=627874 Note: I prefer Scepter fuel cans over NATO fuel cans..... Personal preference.... they are both good cans. but I prefer NATO fuel cans over using Scepter water cans for fuel. That's just me.... YMMV |

From what I recall its like going through vast semi-technical information looking for one specific thing. It is well written though. Links always help!

They are rough, thats certian, but they are certanly serviceable. True, I didn't account for shipping, but Ive seen them sell for $60 used on ebay recently before I bought some locally. I paid $20 a peice for mine. |
