I have had four full of water sitting on thier sides, stacked on top of each other for 4 months without a leak. I took one in my cruiser on a 3 day offroad trip without a leak. They are the same as the MWC from scepter. I think your good to go.

The only thing that might be difficult would be to make a spout with threads to match the top of the cap, and have hose barbs on the other end to accept a clear vinyl hose. Any ideas? I'm sure the HDPE is fine for holding fuel.
anyone verify that these can be used for gasoline? Looks like they have desert tan and green colors. Maybe 2 tan for water and 2 green for gas. It would be awesome to have high quality fuel cans for 16 bucks! So anybody do it yet???
I just bought (2) NATO cans...
What I did was to hook a hose to the 1"water spout on the MWC lid
Mark, many thanks for posting this link, we just got our Austin group buy cans yesterday!:
I had some thin wall flexible Vinyl tube at work that fit over the nozzle. the hose wouldn't work for fuel. I believe the thread is an ACME thread of some sort. I was going to lathe one out at work and make an adapter for some large fuel line. In reality if you can get these cans to seal, a lot of people empty thier fuel cans with a siphon hose anyway.
woytovich, just wanted to thank you again. Received 1/2 my order and after comparing to my Scepter i'm thrilled with the purchase.
I'v read even the Scepter MFC leak if overfilled. They recommend only filling to the 20L mark. I'm tempted to use one of these cans for fuel but the lack of sealing and expansion has me not wanting to ruin a can. I'll keep looking for some MFC's.
