WOW $269.00 for a pair? I have 3 for $25.00 each or $60.00 for all 3 + a fuel spout if you buy all 3. Plus shipping from El Paso, TX.
2 have dents in the corner
The green one already sold
These don't look as nice as the pair for $269.00 but they still hold gas like they do.

Things are getting crazy
Someone needs to make these and just exclude Ca from the buy list .
The Ca politicians cause more problems than they cure

There are always these wide mouth versions. I don't know of any spouts for these but if you are using the super siphon it doesn't matter.

$30 for a banged-up surplus can? $269 for a pair of OD metal cans? Geez. What is the world coming to?
It looks like I could probably retire on the stash of new-in-box red Wedco non-CARB cans sitting in my basement, still in their original packaging. Should have bought more of 'em, I guess.

True dat!!
When we went on the Mojave Road trip, I brought along a Kolpin fuel pak that has a CARB "spillproof" nozzle.... The idea being that people should not be spilling gasoline on the ground, right?
I couldn't get the damn thing to work without leaking fuel everywhere. I gave up and borrowed a jerry jug from someone and transfered the fuel into that, spilling more fuel on the ground.
Got the fuel from the pre-CARB jerry jug into the XJ without spilling a drop.
Not to hijack but how did you mount your rotopax?

Best to keep the RotoPax nozzle up. And keep an eye on the seals.
I had some small leakage problems when installed horiz. on an ATV. The plastic caps will crack and leak when they get very old. I wouldn't rely on them in a life or death situation/expedition type use.
CARB "childproof" nozzles are to prevent unrestrained flow if the can is knocked over.
Apparently there were some accidents/lawsuits. One more reason the gas can manufacterers will not make non-CARB containers for non-military use.
CARB also claims they are spillproof, but everyone I've tried, major spillage was the order of the day.
