fuel can holders: please add

fuel can holders. Add to sticky?

The Blitz fuel can holders also accept Sceptre plastic cans, upright storage is most secure.

They retail for $25 @ Desert Rat Off-Road, but I paid $14ea @ Sportsmans Warehouse.

The Adventure Trailer fuel can holder costs $75. I will provide links as I find them.

Sorry, I was trying to get the information noted quickly. Thanks for encouraging more better English.

SM "speaks in tongues "most times...

I'm from the same planet so I'm always tuned in...

I think I got the message. These fit scepters.

^ yes, at twice the cost of same item at Sportsmans.

I did not know that, and since I live 40m/2hr round trip from nearest Walmart, thought the info might be useful to others.

Amazon has them for a wee bit more, but free shipping over $25: Amazon.com: Blitz 11412 Metal Gas Can Carrier: Automotive

What currently available fuel and water cans fit the old GI gas can holder like that? All I can find are the Blitz cans with the awful plastic spout that lacks a smaller transport cap.

Will they fit the NATO/Wedco style cans as well?

Yeah, I couldn't grok it either, figured I'd come back and try it again after someone else asked the obvious question--thanks!

Brian, are you aware of the "for the children" fuel can ban? All new manufacture fuel containers are now required to incorporate pseudo child-proof caps per federal regulation. You can still purchase new metal GI/Blitz cans and new NATO/Wedco cans, but both now have the aforementioned spout. There are still a few places selling NOS and surplus NATO/Wedcos online; I'm not sure about the Blitz metal cans, though.

Aware of it? Damn right I am, that's why I'm trying to see what alternatives there are to the Blitz cans with the funky spout. They wouldn't be as bad if the damn spout could be removed for transport and a sealed cap could be installed. To make matters worse, my last old style Blitz can just got a rust hole on the bottom and piddled on my parking extension.

Ditch the Blitz/GI style cans for some used NATO/Wedco cans. Seal design is far better. If you search the interwebs carefully, you might be able to grab some before they're all gone.

Swiss spout - it's the bee's knees as far as I'm concerned.
