Where to buy NATO Jerry Cans?

I don’t mean a 1941 authentic can, just not a plastic one and one that meets mil spec so it’ll fit in the holders. I’ve been looking for a while and so many manufacturers show “sold out.” I was wondering if the 4Runner gang knew of a good source.

I would imagine with the Covid-19 fiasco going on everyone has become a prepper and has bought them all up.
Just my guess.

Like those. I was trying to avoid used - I know, beggars can’t be choosers. The French mouth wouldn’t fit any standard fill attachments it says, but thank you for sharing a source!

When i picked up mine they sold the spouts also. Not sure what the difference is with the french can. They have more "modern" examples on amzon. I avoid them and went surplus for price and quality.

These leak-proof steel fuel cans come directly from Wavian, the factory that has supplied many NATO countries for over 75 years, and are the highest quality jerry cans on the market today. Rigorously tested, they boast a number of features, including 0.9 mm steel walls, an interior rust-proof Rezol lining, an internal breather pipe for splash-proof pouring, a three handle configuration for easy carrying, a Leak-proof bayonet closure, and a locking pin for the cap. Wavian currently produces the only EPA, CARB, and DOT approved steel fuel cans that are 100% legal in all 50 US states. Includes spout and an adapter for vehicles with smaller filler receivers. (Original, long flexible nozzles are available for purchase separately.) They come in OD Green, Black, Blue, Yellow, and Red. Sizes available are 5 Liters (1.3 Gallons) 10 Liters (2.6 Gallons) and 20 Liters (5.3 Gallons). "

I need to replace the plastic ones I have with these.
 
[MENTION=78583]DragonRunner[/MENTION] Back in stock on Frontrunner's website.



20l Red Jerry Can w/ Spout and Adapter

I waited for months for them to get back in stock. I signed up to get the email updates when they came in from several sites. I ended up getting them from Grainger but they are now sold out again for at least 30 days (they were only in stock for 3 days). Frontrunner became available about 2 days after I ordered but I'm sure they are also limited so buy quick.
 
I have 2 wavian jerry cans. Yes they are expensive but I think they are worth it if you want a metal can. Watch their videos of what the cans can withstand.

I got mine about 2 years ago. The were sold out so I filled out the “notify me” on Wavian’s site. I received an email about 10 days later saying they were in stock and snagged them.
 
I have two tan Sceptor MFC’s with a few of JAGMTE upgrades and fast flow fill nozzle.

You can still buy the Sceptor MFC cans.
 
Why mess around waiting for Wavian cans that will never ship? I've had an order for 2 from 4WD Parts in since June and still no line of sight on when they will get shipped.

I went with these guys and got two jerry cans (metal, with a fuel spout) within 2 weeks of my ordering.

They are not technically legal to carry fuel in here in the States, but who would enforce that while the world around us burning?

Just my .02.
 
Couldn’t do $100+ for a fuel can. Can’t even do $80... went with Walmart online, bought 2 from “Zeny” which arrived inside a week, free shipping.

They seem legit. Only time will tell how good the worlds are / leaks etc. but the fit / function seems identical to the standard NATO cans. I bought a 5-pack if gaskets since that seems to be the weak link in most cases. Only problem I have is they don’t include the little plastic spout clip to store spout on the top of the can. I’ve searched high and low for that damn clip, and I can only find one from the UK ($5 too). Otherwise it’s $30 for a full spout replacement with clip but that’s as much as the can cost.

Anyone DIY a clip?
 
Nice addition.

Update - The Zeny’s are bare metal inside. So, if you get one without rust inside fill it quickly. If not then soak in vinegar (of preferred rust removal technique) then fill it up. Watched a Wavian vs “China knockoff” which looked exactly like these Zenys. For ruggedness, not bad. Fit/function... something to be desired. Everything works, just not as nicely as the Wavian. But for 1/2 the price there’s no reason to have the same expectations
