Scepter military fuel cans, MFC, Mil Spec Jerry Cans

jjccdy · Dec 16, 2021

Looking for some Specter MFCs, new or used. Been on the hunt lately, and would love to be able to get some locally. Looking for the plastic mil spec fuel cans, not interested in metal jerry cans or anything else.

I just picked up a black MFC off eBay, but had to pay a MINT for it. Import restrictions due to EPA regulations is what makes these so hard to come by.

I have two I would consider selling but you'd have to come up to pick them up.

Depending on condition and color, I may be interested in the second one, if you're making the trip anyway.

for sure. i was almost considering just driving to BC and picking up new ones at retail, where if i had enough people willing to pitch something like $15/can extra (they are $70 new) to cover gas. ive got a pretty open schedule the next few weeks

I'd be interested either way.

I haven't gotten around to it yet, but my plan is to make my own pour spouts with these for a fraction of the cost of Scepter's spouts.

Charlotte Pipe 2 in. x 3/4 in. PVC Sch. 80 Reducer Bushing MPT x FPT PVC 08200 4200 - The Home Depot

PVC Schedule 80 Fittings are for pressure applications, and have a thicker wall than Schedule 40. PVC Schedule 80 is highly durable, with high tensile and impact strength. It has better sound deadening

The spouts can be ordered and imported fairly easily and affordably through dstactical up in BC. They'll ship everything except the fuel cans themselves to the US. If you do make your own, you'll probably want to find a way to mimic the design of the actual spouts as the spouts are how the cans vent when you pour fuel.

If anyone does travel to BC fairly frequently, is able to gain entry and are willing to transport several of these cans back, I'm always interested. You can add me to the list if someone does decide to make the trip.
