If you cant find anybody I can measure mine. Don't know if the diesel cans are different than the gas cans. The water cans are slightly different

Did anyone ever find the source for Scepter MCF cans? I recently bought their water cans and am looking for 3 of their gas cans. There water cans are awesome!! They won't sell the fuel cans.... ebay has ridiculous prices. Anyone know of a source yet for these?

Roonie,
Same here......I got my fill on the water cans but I haven't found the military fuel cans yet(or at least @ a reasonable price). I'm almost opting for the NATO style metal cans at this point.
Woot.....

I found their used green fuel cans in Fort Collins a couple of years ago, but they were kinda rough looking. Nothing like having new cans. Seems like most folks are going with the Nato metal style.

Amazon is carrying the new "Moeller Scepter" water and gas cans, but no diesel, for $30. I bought one of the gas cans and the labeling matches whats left of the label on my diesel can. Looks like Moeller's a subsidiary of Scepter, so I guess they count as official, if that matters.

Both of these Sceptars (a W520 and a D520s) fit in my Baja box; I can get two in the box and one in the outside slot. I found this site http://www.bargainboatparts.com/sear...chTerm=scepter, but make sure you check the model numbers.

Yeah, too bad they have the CARB crap spouts on them. My CARB compliant gas can for my mower & string trimmer, spills more gas than would ever evaporate on the older style cans.
