If! You are in the market this is the best can you can get on amazon. These are the only safe ones I allow in the garage.

You can actually just buy the real thing on Amazon or eBay, but they’re labeled not for gasoline use in the USA due to environmental regulations (https://fee.org/articles/the-epic-failure-of-the-government-...). It was really important the EPA saved the planet from the world’s number one environmental threat… minuscule amount of gas vapors escaping fuel cans, thus they haven’t legal since 2009.

I have 4 original NATO cans and have thrown them around, dropped them, had them slide around in the back of a truck and bang into things. They have never once leaked a single drop or stopped working.
