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.
