Hey guys. Im looking to buy 2 Scepter mil fuel cans. I understand these are hard to come by and it seems that a lot of people are looking for them, but I figured it can't hurt to ask. Id also be interested in one or two water cans as well. Thanks again.

I'm a bit confused. Those fuel cans do not look like these

For fuel cans, I prefer the Wavian style metal jerry cans. You can find them all over. (but its harder to find the non-carb spouts)
For water scepter style cans, I just picked up some of these US made Skilcraft water cans that are pretty much identical to the scepter cans.

Sorry for my ignorance but how are these versus the plastic in a rotopak?

They are the Military water cans. Was trying to say, the place might have or can get the fuel cans.
Do you have these water cans ? If so , are they as well made as the scepter, does the spout hold up? Thanks, that's a great price if good quality.
I only recently bought those water cans, but yes, they seem to be good quality. I actually almost like them more than the scepters. I compared them to some of the older scepters. They are cheap and U.S. made which is great.
Ok.. all I could find on the Mil. fuel cans were on ebay at $100.+ each. I did find a place in Canada that has them, but have no idea on the price of shipping (international).

I have a scepter fuel can I keep in the bed of my truck. The main reason I went with it is because it doesn't vent/outgass. They're not available in the US due to the spout or some such garbage. I'll be getting a few more and a few of the water cans as funds allow
Amazon has the scepter military cans for $129 and the military style with the smaller spout for a lot less. I've seen the used surplus cans at gun shows and surplus stores too, usually the water cans though.

The LCI water cans are $25, so if its water go with that.
The Wavian cans dont vent either. They can build a crazy amount of pressure actually... if you dont open them for awhile they really foooomfh when you crack the seal. (I just dislike plastic for fuel cans, but to each their own)

I'm actually a big fan of the off road full jugs they use for dirt bikes myself. They are about $40, durable and most importantly are really easy to pour and can be be bought translucent to see the fuel level as you pour. Custom mounts are probably necessary though.

Scepter is the original Military contracted Water and Fuel can. LCI is the knock-off.
Scepter currently has a shortage on the tan because when there is a disaster all resources go to that. And we've had a LOT of disasters lately :(

I just bought an LCI on Amazon, I had a Scepter at home that I could compare it to and can verify that it is exactly the same in every way including the grommet inside the openings. Don't waste your time buying Scepter, it looks like they're not only back ordered but they also recently had issue with their manufacturing mold, so it pushed the release date even further away.

I would check out EBay. I bought several of them a few years back. I recommend getting the wrench and spout as well. Totally makes refuelling a breeze.
