You’ve run out of gas at least once this year haven’t you? You jerk. She told you to stop. Didn’t she….?

That bitch!!! (Excuse us.)

Even though you might not all be able to skip out of the cubicle for an expedition in the Brazilian Amazon, a good Jerry can is not necessarily out of place in your possession. Fuel is often scarce even in the American suburbs, especially when you simply don’t fill up. Jerk.

What we offer is a safer, more stable design of the tough military Jerry cans you’ve seen in all those repetitious WWII films. In the mid 80s, Scepter designed a three-handled polyethylene fuel can almost identical to the classic military can. This fuel can proved to be a vast improvement over its metal predecessors because it was made of a very think polyethylene rubber that was light-weight, string, flexible, and rustproof.

Unlike flimsy hardware-store gas cans, Scepter’s Jerry cans are built for movement and handling. So, as we were saying, safe fuel storage should not only be a priority on expeditions; safe fuel storage is more important at home.

In military live fire tests, these fuel cans were shown to melt and burn without exploding, making them significantly safer than their metal counterparts. They exceed United Nations Transportation of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations.

These fuel cans are used by The United States Military and the Canadian Military. These Jerry cans also pass all United Nations Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations- making Scepter’s Jerry can The Red Rhino preferred container for transporting fuel safely.

As you will read below, not all Sceptor cans are designed for fuel transportation. You will notice that Jerry cans with more than one handle are designed to transport poisonous liquids and that cans with one handle are designed to transport human-safe liquids. Scepter also offers a wide array of colors for specific can designations.  
Enjoy!

 MFC High-Flow Pour Spout

For those who don't want to use the Super Siphon, or prefer the convenience of a screw on pour spout for their Scepter fuel cans, we now offer the Scepter pour spout. This pour spout's design is both simple and effective. It screws onto the top of the fuel can. Utilizing an o-ring, such as those found on Pelican cases, it creates a tight seal preventing any leaks while pouring. The one piece flexible tubing makes it easy to fit and pour into your vehicles fuel tank. It's 19mm tube diameter allows for high volume fluid transfer, ensuring a quick and easy refill on the trail.

Expedition-laden vehicles commonly experience reduced gas mileage. Between carrying the hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds of additional gear required for a vehicle-dependent expedition, and the frequent use of aerodynamic killing roof racks, it's not unusual for petrol engine vehicles to get single digit mileage, while diesel mileage can dip below 20 mpg. This loss of fuel efficiency dramatically cuts down on the cruising range of your vehicle.

Often times on expedition, fuel sources can be infrequent and unreliable. In some remote areas of the world you can go hundreds of miles between fuel stops.

 

The solution to this problem is to increase your fuel carrying capacity. This can be accomplished in one of two ways-the first is the fitment of an extended range fuel tank, such as those made by ARB. These tanks have the disadvantage of being relatively expensive and in some applications difficult to install.The second solution is to equip your vehicle with ample fuel and water cans such as those made by Scepter.

Scepter fuel cans are light, rust-proof, dent resistant, guaranteed to not leak, making them the ideal can for overland use. Here a Land Rover Experience 110 is using 3 metal jerry cans for fuel, as well as 3 Scepter water cans.

 

All Scepter fuel cans feature three separate handles, each one capable of supporting the weight of a full jerry can. Each leak proof screw on cap is attached by a color keyed check strap. Diesel check straps are yellow, with a large "D" embossed on them. Petrol check straps are safety red with a large "P" embossed, while kerosene can straps are gray with a large "K" clearly embossed. These colors are in accordance with DOT regulations for transportation of flammable fluids.


 



 

Scepter water cans feature a large screw on cap for ease of filling. On the top of the cap are a smaller screw off cap for pouring water, as well as a screw open vent.

The check strap also features a self locking mechanism to prevent the cap from coming unscrewed either accidentally or from vibration while your vehicle is moving.

 

Each Scepter fuel can comes with its capacity, either 20L or 10L, clearly marked on the side. In addition, its content type is clearly marked, in English on one side, French on the other. The sand water can, shown here also has its content type clearly labeled in arabic for use in the middle east and northern Africa.

Also note the integrated "X" pattern on the side of the can. This ribbed pattern provides additional wall strength for the jerry can, ensuring it will stand up to the heavy duty use that overland travel requires for years to come.

 


 

For moving your fuel from jerry can to your main fuel tank, we recommend using either the optional pour spout, listed above, or a Super Siphon. The Super Siphon is not only a clean and easy method of fule transfer, but it can often be used without removing the fuel cans from the roof of your vehicle.
You may find on the websites of other competitors claims that these cans are inferior in nature to the traditional metal jerry cans. The simple fact of the matter is that this is untrue. The suppositions you find are infact flawed and based upon misinformation.

These cans are in fact so superior to the traditional metal fuel cans that the Canadian military, the U.S. Armed services and NATO abandoned the metal cans years ago and only use Scepter cans for their fuel transportation needs.
