Scepter Fuel Cans in CARB states

[97 FZJ80]

I was in the process of ordering the Scepter MFC and my order was rejected due to their new 2008 policy that has Texas listed as a CARB state

If anyone living in the non-CARB states can help me out, I'm willing to compensate you for your time and efforts. I'm looking to purchase 10 red MFC for gas + two unleaded spouts. Thanks!

I just go two of them shipped to me

Try Quadratech - They have a little "offroad use only" blurb that somehow allows them to ship to ca - better hurry I hear they are discontinued -

I received two Scepter fuel cans today through Brigade Quartermaster, no hasles, took about five days.

Brigade Quartermasters is no longer shipping the scepter gas cans to Calif. Just spoke to them today. The only exception is if you are in the military.

 

[chattfj40]

Yep, apparently there's been some confusion over at BQM...they had held up my order from last week because they were under the impression that they could only sell to active duty military...in any state...Called today to check on the status and they figured out that its only the 11 CARB states they only sell to ADM....everyone else is ok...but they told me the info seems to be changing daily...

Today, they shipped mine, who knows what tomorrow will hold, get em while you can

BTW, if anyone in TX needs some, I can deliver to the Round up, PM me for details

ordered a pair today...

we will see.

Order them from Equipt (Equipt1.com). For California you'll have to have them shipped to someone close by in a neighboring state and go get them. But it's news to me that you can't ship them to Texas.

EDIT - guess you are, and a lot of others too.

Try Quadratech

That's where I got mine. Two olive with the red tags for gas.

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Well, just talked with Paul May, the brains behind Equipt. If you want one from him, get 'em fast. He's down to a dozen cans and won't be selling Sceptre any longer due to the CARB issues.

And, from the grapevine, it's against the law for a business to ship non-CARB cans into a CARB compliant state, but not an individual. So, you could have them shipped to your buddy in a non-compliant state and then he can ship them to you. Supposedly.

got them today...
no problems

I ordered mine from Equipt and I live in CA. Fortunately I had to go to SLC for business, so I checked the three boxes like luggage and the folks from Delta did not even ask what it was. I figured it was worth a try and it worked. Used smelly gas cans would probably be a different story.

Used smelly gas cans would probably be a different story.

Yes, that would be super massive fines and probably jail time for illegally air transporting Dangerous Goods.

Doesn't Scepter made CARB compliant cans? Is there something wrong with the CARB jerry cans?

 

[Trunk Monkey]

Doesn't Scepter made CARB compliant cans?

Nope, that's why you wont' be able get get new fuel cans in the US soon. They don't want to deal with the hassle to make them CARB compliant and I don't blame them. They will still make military cans, you might see those some up surplus in a few years.

Blitz cans can be had in carb approved, not as nice as the some of the others but are metal..

I was checking out the CARB Blitz metal jerry cans at Home Despot this weekend. It looked like Blitz designed a CARB pour spout kit that fits their jerry can. the rest of the jerry can looked identical to the non-CARB jerry.

I wonder why Scepter doesn't design a CARB spout and included it as a part of the CARB compliant MFC package.

They make one:

So, the compliance issue must be bigger than the spout.

I used to own a metal Blitz CARB compliant can I purchased here in the Republik of Kalifornia. They SUCK!!!!!!!!!! Let me repeat that it I wasn't clear the first time...They SUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Spout and seal around the can leak horribly. So much for CARB compliance. Let me repeat...They SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Find a friend or mud friend in a non-carb state and and have them get the Wedco non-carb cans and spout for you and pay them to ship them privately. Much better!!!
