Bowtie it is you that are twisting / attempting to re-cast the argument as something it was not. Your comment there -
"Just a FYI the scepter water cans are "NOT" made from the same plastics as the scepter fuel cans. i would not suggest putting water in a fuel container and then drinking it as its not food safe treated........ nor would i suggest putting fuel in a water can.... very quickly the gasoline will erode the water container.[emphasis added] "
which is patent bull****e. Which you immediately followed with an offer to sell me a $65 MFC for $125. You seem utterly unaware of how it looks to spread a blatant falsehood about alternative containers while simultaneously engaging in a profitable smuggling business in MFCs. AND prattle on about government regulations while you simultaneously break the laws of two nations regarding those same containers.
None of the rest of your hand-waving and distortions matter, in the face of those aspects.
Philosophically I applaud your enterprise and fine appreciation of capitalism. And also share your disregard for over-intrusive government regulation and artificially created shortages. As Heinlein so aptly put it in his novel 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress' -
"I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
But I draw the line at bull****e and obfuscation and poor business ethics.
I put several links regarding petroleum distillates and caustic chems in HDPE-2 containers in the other topic. As well as HDPE-2 jugs specifically marketed to the ORV community for gasoline use. As well as links to other anecdotal reports of suitability which directly contradict your self-serving assertion that such containers will not stand up to gasoline. our audience is free to examine and weigh that information and come to their own conclusions.
Our disagreement IS a matter of money, you and your lucrative smuggling business and me trying to save a goodly sum in my dotage. Why should I pay $125 for a container no longer legally available to me, instead of using a near-identical container that costs $25? (call it $35 with the viton gaskets that make it work) Both choices violate laws / regulations. Although I dare say cross-border smuggling has greater penalties attached than ignoring a DoT type-approval.
Furthermore, I have also posted other topic(s) regarding other fuel can offerings, in fact one that seems quite nice and goes for just $15, and also made my Scepter and ALSO has DoT type approval. And it too was met with vehement opposition, oddly enough. Despite it appearing to be a better product than the thinner-walled offerings by the other claimants to the Blitz crown (whose own plastic containers were pretty thin, anyway).
even without your personal financial interest and questionable behaviours in the matter, your statement and arguments are demonstrably nonsense. Give it a rest.
