www.mcmaster.com should have it. Look for "Ring-Grip Quick Release Pin" I should order some myself as my new cans never came with the pins.

If you have a Tractor Supply near you I think they'll have some that fit.

Part # 98320A025 is similar BUT they didnt fit my cans. They went through the hole fine but the ball is too small and the pins come right back out. Maybe it is a metric sized hole, I dont know.
I may just enlarge it to 1/4" and use part # 98416A120

Most hardware stores have these:
1/4" may be the smallest diameter, but they come in lengths up to 3".
My cans are NATO surplus and don't have the locking hole.
FWIW, I've been using NATO cans for fuel for about 20 years and have never had one even begin to open on it's own. My bigger concern is someone stealing fuel.
