The metal military-type gas cans from Europe don't have a threaded hole, they have a hinged cover over a spout that seals. I have one from France, another from Turkey (NATO member, a little corner is in Europe). These have never leaked. You can pour the fuel out via the spout if the receiving equipment will take it. Otherwise, it takes a special spout adapter similar to but not exactly like the US Army "donkey d*ck" with the threads. The European design has an air vent built into the spout so it won't glug-glug which the US type addresses IIRC with a hole in the lip of the opening.
About 30 years ago, I had a 55 gal. drum of gasoline stored on my property. I had one of those hand crank pumps from Harbor Freight, it worked as advertised. However, I didn't have a storage site then with a concrete pad so once filled, it was there for keeps until emptied. Oh I don't know, some time after that I decided that maybe the S wasn't gonna HTF right away. I needed to build a culvert so I cut the ends off the empty 55 gal drum and that became part of that project. It was then that I switched to metal 5 gal. cans, which I still have some of. But I haven't gone overboard, have some around just in case. For whatever reason.
My guess is Meth Heads who cook up probably don't care what landlords specify. I've heard some stories about how they've ruined dwellings from cooking. They like to cook in isolated/remote places because it's harder for their activities to be detected but after becoming addicted, they will do just about any crazy thing because their brain will no longer hold them back. Maybe I've been naive for not knowing more about this until recently. Not long ago, I read the book, Methland, by Nick Reding. It's a real eye-opener or at least it was for me. I had no idea how pervasive the problem is. Or that in addition to the do-it-yourselfers, how massive and organized the major manufacturing and distribution networks are.

This is why it is so difficult for meth cooks to find suitable locations to effect their livelihood.
