DOES ANYBODY MAKE METAL GAS CANS ANYMORE? A rusty gas can is a frustrating thing. A rusty gas can is a frustrating thing. I think I saw them in a Cablas catalog... They sure thought alot of them! You just gotta hate the new Self venting filler nozels in California. What a PIA!!! Can't find a gas can with a vent on it anymore. I think I saw them in a Cablas catalog...

Real hard to get gas in or out of the can. California emissions is a laugh. On the job I had two Ranger trucks come to me from CA. Never did find a Ford garage that could repair one in the mid west. Metal cans show up a yard sales is my source. I have a small OSHA gas can. Real hard to get gas in or out of the can. California emissions is a laugh.

Yes.. go to a industrial supply store that sells to contractors... OSHA still requires commercial use of 'red' gas cans to be metal and have the flash proof screening.. etc.. soundguy Yes.. go to a industrial supply store that sells to contractors...

Darn expensive though, as in about $45. If you want old military type cans, they can be had and are still made. Eagle. Has a nice funnel as well. Darn expensive though, as in about $45.

I just stood there and looked dumb........

I just stood there and looked dumb........ the whole country is going to california emissions on gas cans and tanks. Tanks on weed eaters, chainsaws, lawnmowers etc and the gas cans. The EPA found that gas vapors were going thru the plastic the tanks were made out of. Now there is a new standard on the plastic used. Most all companies have switched and the rest will be soon. Unfortunately, I can tell you this from first hand knowledge. (I had to read the paperwork from the EPA) the whole country is going to california emissions on gas cans and tanks.

These newer plastic gas containers where you can't use it without getting gas on your hands are not for me. I go to swap meets and rummage sales to find good older gas cans.

They spill more gas than ever was lost thru venting and pouring. The only place to find caps or nozzles for the old ones are flea markets and garage sales. The price is going up there, too. We didn't have these problems when there were 120 million people. Now we have over 300 million. What will it be like when there are 500 million? We'll have to bring back the Soylent Green program!

They had a Briggs & Stratton tag on them and were quite pricey. Around $50 if I remember right. They might have been even more than that. Dave I saw some military style cans a little while ago.

Dave Tractor Supply has 5 gal metal galvanized cans for less than 20 bucks. I have bought a couple from them there a few months ago.
