OK, about a year ago, I got some Nato gas cans from 2 places. Major Surplus in particular had a great price on the "Nato Style Gas Cans". So I bought extra. When they came in, they didn't look all that good as they had put the pour spout right in the middle instead of offset like the picture showed so that you could store the nozzle on it. Furthermore, there wasn't an integrated pin to lock the cap down like has always been the case and the metal seemed thinner. As this style of gas can was going extinct, I kept them. Gave one to my buddy and scratched my id on the ones I kept so if they got stolen I could recover.
Mistake.
The interiors were not coated as it turned out, and quickly rusted. The one I gave my buddy eventually leaked all over his garage from a pin hole that developed in the weld. The short version of my lesson was this: just spend the money and buy the real ones from Atlantic British. http://www.roverparts.com/
