These are really the pinnacle of containers for gasoline (or really almost any liquid) that is not water-based [because the interior lining / coating is, I understand, not compatible with water]). Almost a full mm thick, and with recessed welded seams plus a fabulous closure and pouring system (get the non-CARB pouring spouts), these are the genuine -spec Jerry Cans: made in Latvia in an old Russian ammunition plant long known for its quality outputs - by a company named ValPro. Ive now bought a combination of 7 30l and 3 10L versions as part of my emergency preparedness planning. Filled them full with ethanol-free 90 octane gas and placed them in conditioned-air spaces where they remain at constant temperature. No air goes in our out of them. There is absolutely no odor whatever: they are sealed and completely impermeable. Im convinced any impact might bruise them, but not compromise their integrity. Not cheap, but the best - if you can get them...
The only caveat is this: Would you receive the real cans now? I have heard that, occasioned by the war in the Ukraine, the plant has shut down and cannot get the quality of steel required to produce the full-thickness Jerry Cans with their superior welded seams. Counterfeits abound. Caveat emptor!
Handsome and Bulletproof - but Note One Caveat
