Source for 1 Gallon Metal Jerry Cans

[Robin Masters]

Does anyone here know of a source for 1 gallon metal "NATO style" Jerry cans?

Some time ago someone either here or on ih8mud posted a link to Cheaper Than Dirt where they were selling some surplus 1 gallon cans, but that was some time ago.

Thanks for any leads.

I've seen 20L/5Gal and 10L/2.5Gal jerry cans but not a 1 gallon nato can.

More info...

Thanks. What I'm looking for may be more accurately called a "5 liter Oil can" so just a bit more than 1 US gallon. I've only seen them a few times and each time they were Czech military surplus. I'll attach a picture from this link where they were apparently sold at one time but are currently out of stock.

Looks new?

Thanks for finding that. It looks brand new, I assume it is? I actually like the handle design of the military surplus can that I posted a picture of (looks like the handle would somewhat protect the spout) but a brand new can would be nice....

Thanks again!

If you're not in a hurry they come and go at sportsmans guide and cheaper than dirt. That's where I got mine.

Try calling Army Surplus Warehouse in Idaho Falls, ID and talk to them. 208-529-4753
Last time I was in their store, 3 weeks ago, they had several used ones. Although I didn't see any on their website.

I appreciate the info. I might wait a bit and see what pops up on CTD and Sportsman's because the can from roverparts will be $36 with shipping. I want one of these cans but that is a bit high for a 5L can.

Deutsche Optik has the 5 gallon, 2.5 gallon, and 1.25 gallon sizes, new, for sale. They also have gaskets and spouts. Here is a list of the cans, gaskets, and spouts.

If by chance the link doesn't work right, the stuff is listed in the military/tools section. Baby 5 liter, Junior 10 liter, NATO 20 liter, BW jerry can gaskets, and stainless jerry can spout.

I have a pair of those that I use to tote fuel for my Yamaha 1000w generator. Great little can, and Atlantic British shipped them pretty quick.

The new ones will dry up eventually...

Many Thanks

Thanks to all for the leads. I can't believe that I missed the 5L can on Deutsche Optik, I was on that site not that long ago...

Glad to hear a positive note from someone with one. The Atlantic British can and the "Baby Jerry Can" on DO look a lot alike, but I like the price on the Atlantic British can a bit better. (Can + shipping = less than the DO can before shipping)

I wish they would still deliver to California.
