I found and bought one last night off Ebay for the same price...$40.
Expensive, but worth it (and very hard to find)
These Scepter cans are so much better than any cans I've had before that I'm not worried about the price for a spout.
Thanks a lot for the replies and links...

I bought my large diameter spout direct from sceptre, they were easy to deal with and I think they were less than $20??
Call them up!!

Where are you located? I'm in CA where there's a ban on all the good gas cans.
In Hemet CA, someone got fined for filling up a pre ban motorcycle type gas can. Unbelievable!
I'll call Scepter Monday and see what they have to say, but I doubt they'll sell me anything related to a MFC.

Apparently you are with the military.
I called Scepter this morning and they said the spouts are still available, but only to the military.
I'm not surprised....but now it's clarified.

What? I thought you could still use the pre ban cans, even in CA.

Well, your question got me thinking about the legality of using pre carb cans.
The guy who told me about the gas can fine had no reason to lie about it,
and I hope it was a fine given in error. Personally I thought the ban had to do with selling non carb cans...not using them. Are all the thousands of old cans supposed to be dumped in a landfill? Hmmmmm.
Anyway, I sent a letter to CARB a few minutes ago asking for more info about this. I'll update when I hear more.
In the meantime I'm going to the gas station to fill up my Scepter gas cans!
Then I'm using the new Scepter spout I just received to pour gas into my buggy....and I bet I won't spill a drop!!! (Try that with the new carb crap!!!)

I had to use a CARB can this afternoon, I bet I spilled at least a liter of fuel.
PM me if you find out the details of that fine.
Sorry for the hi-jack.

I think I've hi jacked my own thread a few times!!
I've heard nothing but bad things about the newer carb cans!
The one I have doesn't leak but is a pain to use.
I started a new thread about carb gas cans, and I'll update it as I get more info.

Completely forgot to update this thread. I did get a response from CARB and started a new thread about Carb gas cans here-

The only thing I wasn't able to find out was what agency sited the guy in Hemet CA for filling a non carb can. I'd really like to know.
