Jerry cans, Fuel cans. Let's discuss...Scepter? Nato? Other?

I’ve been eye balling those aluminum flanges on EBay for some time. Nice to see a trusted review. I’ll probably order a couple to replace some damaged flanges. They still fail with time even with viton seals.

Even thicker plastic would have been fine but the aluminum is hell for stout. It could get pricey if you have a lot of MFCs at $25 a pop but I'm sure the swelling and sucking in MFCs do is brutal on these flanges.

I’ll pick up 3-4 to get the free shipping. No reason to equip the whole fleet. Plus I have a handful of replacement cap assemblies from Scepter already.

When you have a bunch of original Scepter cap flanges it might be handy to keep a solid disk of Viton around to seal one in a pinch. This is JAGMTE's but just cutting a couple yourself from some stock would work.

Viton Emergency Gasket

If, as pictured above, a crack has developed past the gasket retention ring causing your can to no longer seal due to venting through the crack, here is a temporary solution for you, in an emergency. This is a VITON Gasket cut slightly oversized in it's outside diameter so it will stay centered...

I bought a 2 gallon Rotopax at the swap meet, and it has the hapless/unusable EPA spout on it, that won't pass gasoline at all, locked or unlocked.

Is the solution to simply by something like this:

I don't have rotopacks, but if I did I would mount them higher than my fuel door and use a jiggle hose to siphon into the tank.

Ooo ooo how about this beauty we found at expo west

Wow, that is a couple of products that I would have never thought to combine. I'll bet its a shitty traction board and a lame fuel container.
