Another discussion of jerrycans (pointing to the Wikipedia article) from early January:

If you want old-school design "jerry cans", checkout Wavian for metal options:

For plastic (HDPE) options in the same design language see Scepter:

Comparison discussion between the two:

A lot of folks don't like contemporary nozzles, in which case perhaps see:

* https://armysurpluswarehouse.com/wavian-jerry-can-nozzle/

Also do a search for "shaker siphon" and "pump siphon".

It should be noted that Scepter MFC's are unavailable in the United States because they lack the safety features that apparently the average American needs. It's a shame, since they appear to be far superior to our "safe" gas cans/spouts.

I've also seen multiple reports of the Wavians developing some surface rust inside which makes me question how good the interior lining is, not sure how prevalent that is though.

That's why I liked to the "consumer" products, which are probably more available to the (US-centric) HNers:

Non-US folks (EU, UK, CA) have access to the "military" products as well AFAICT:

Thank you for this. I have not been able to find a usable nozzle for any of my cans--they always break and/or leak everywhere.
