Looking for a pair of RED Scepter 20L fuel cans.

Like the "safety red" in this picture;

I was able to get blue water jugs at DS Tactical. Maybe they carry red? You can also check Scepter's website to see if it's even made in red anymore.

Good luck!

scepter cans are already next to impossible to get and red ones are even harder. if you find a source in the states please share. and DS Tactical will not ship scepter cans to the states or at least not to me anyway....

Haven't been made in some time.

Looking for Scepter's only.

There were some on eBay awhile back but were already sold. :(
DST won't ship them to USA.

I have one red can I got a couple years back and since then they became nearly extinct in the US - Unobtainium...

The green or tan ones were made in vast quantities, I suggest you look for those if you want Scepter quality.

*Edit* - I see you are in Portland. Take the drive to BC, buy a load of them and then sell them here. You'll be able to pay for your cans and spouts PLUS your time and gas for the trip ;)

They might if you're military, or know someone. Can't hurt to ask. Brigade HQ and some other on-line vendors have that caveat.

Alternatively, if you can get the OD/tan, you could probably replace the straps (and/or caps?)

Wanna sell your red one? ;)

PS--There are some on here from CAN who have offered to buy and ship them here. I'm still holding out for red. :)

Sorry I didn't see this earlier but I ended up putting one on EBay.
I used it once or twice but have since sold my FJ Cruiser and now have a diesel LandCruiser.
Decided to go with a yellow Scepter which were even harder to find. :smiley_drive:

Except the are not for sale in the US right now..... They were expecting to have an EPA compliant one available in the next month or so....

Ah, interesting. A G-Wagen guy I know has had some of these for awhile now. I'll have to find out where he got them.

EPA and their BS....

Geez, looks like in an emergency you could use it as a sand ladder or makeshift stretcher. Not that I'd try it ;) Only problem is it doesn't fit in a standard fuel holder.
