Default Where to get jerry cans?

Anyone know a good source online to order jerry cans? Standard size to fit in a Jeeperman jerry can holder - metal - ideally locking? And with a spout that will pour gas into the Jeep's tank?

If you're looking for real Wedco jerry cans, I found nice ones at Expedition Exchange, and since they are local they were delivered to my doorstep less than 24 hours after I ordered. They carry the CARB compliant ones we are supposed to use here in California and they come with a spout. They also have the blue water cans, spout is extra $. Price was just as good or lower than any other place I could find locally for the Wedco cans.

A trick that I learned from Trailbud is to rig up a siphon system, much easier than trying to take a 40 lb. can off the rack and hook up the spout.


There is a very funny picture of Trailbud teaching me how to use his siphon in the Coyote Canyon trail run thread!

I have seen them at The Home Depot, in the lawnmower section.

I saw some nice metal ones at Sportsman's Warehouse last time I was in there.

Check out Army/Navy surplus stores. The local surplus store here in Fort Fun sells them for about $10. Army green though.

Do a Google search on Generator Joe.

I got two nice diesel cans there several years ago.
