Excerpt from a reviewer at an expedition company:...In the mid 80s, Scepter used its expertise of injection molded plastic technology to design a next generation, three-handled polyethylene Military Fuel Can (MFC). While this military fuel can was similar in design to the classic metal "jerry" can widely used by Western military forces, it proved itself to be a vast improvement over its metal predecessors. The can was quickly adopted by the Canadian military, changing their fuel can requirements from metal to plastic.
By the 90s, the Scepter MFC was adopted as the new standard of use by all branches of the U.S. Military. With the transition to the Scepter MFCs, the U.S. Military is now able to transport jerry cans of fuel by air, an act that was considered too dangerous with the classic metal jerry cans. Simply put, Scepter Military Fuel Cans are widely regarded as the best quality, safest jerry can on the market today. Since their creation, the Scepter MFCs have quickly become the fuel container of choice for armed forces around the world, including NATO...* (*Pangaea Expeditions product review)
Simply put, the Canadian, U.S., NATO and Other coalition armed forces ultimately rejected the metal can in favor of the Scepter MFC which is till in service to this day.
Be aware: If you are looking at new military surplus cans (brown or sand in color), they now have the phrase "For military use only" molded into them, which is a little harder to explain than the old US Government property markings, and makes them very easy for an official agency to seize if they are inclined to.
Packaging is important: Each can is placed in a foam bag and placed in a fitted virgin 225lb test box, and surrounded in packing peanuts. This assures that they arrive to you in the same condition they leave here, which is PERFECT. We ship them Insured via UPS Ground. If you would like your can to arrive to you in perfect condition, this is the only way to insure that! Dear Valued Customer,
Due to the new way UPS (and Fedex) are calculating shipments, we have incurred an almost 70% increase in shipping cost per package. Because of this we are no longer able to offer free shipping on the Fuel Cans, but to keep the shipping from being ridiculously expensive for you, our customers, we will absorb as much of the increase as we can.
