    The other major difference is the weld seam. The Wavian has an inset seam, the Chinese one doesn't. Looks very unstable when on a flat surface. I have the Wavian's and I love them. They are very quick at emptying their contents too because of the air channel. Please cut them open!

    The recessed weld between the two halves is crucial to keeping the tank’s toughness intact over time. The quality is what you pay for. Is there a utility for the “China can”? Sure, just don’t expect it to last reliably like the NATO one.

    I came here to point out the recessed weld, too. Not only does it look like the exposed weld won't stand as sturdily, but being exposed is very likely to subject that weld to a lot more impact and stress. So, even if the weld is as strong as on the Wavian (which I doubt) it's *still* more likely to fail under harsh conditions.

It fogged the first season. I tried to send it in to get fixed. No luck basically told it was my fault. And it was for buying something i did not want to start with. From that time on i buy what i want even if i have to wait longer. And have not been upset about a purchase 40 plus years later.

I chose the one that doesn’t wobble back and forth on a hard surface. I chose the one that I can replace the gaskets and seals on as they eventually dry out and crack. I chose the one that you can actually fit a spout on. I chose the one that won’t rust from the inside out. I know it’s just a gas can....but I will never have to buy another one again in my lifetime. Wavian/NATO fuel cans are the way to go. Us west coast guys have figured out that you spend less money in the long run with quality items.

    I do agree to an extent. I've personally dealt with using cheaply-designed, cheaply-made fuel cans for years and found that the handling and spill-resistance of a fuel can comes down primarily to the physical design. Not so much the build quality. You'll find that the only reason the $26 can is any good is because they're a rip-off of the WW2-proven NATO design. The paper-thin steel gauge and hasty construction make you miserable, but it's still functionally useable to some degree if you're careful.

    Excellent video. I used to have European jerry cans that my business sold back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I got these cans via Land Rover Limited's parts department. (They came with a "jerry can fixing kit. I forget the part number, but they were great, well-made cans.) Two of three days ago I received a shipment of 3 Wavian green jerry cans. These are top quality, just like the NATO type that Land Rover Ltd. use to sell. There is another web channel where the host cut in half a Wavian can and a Chinese copy of it. The Chinese copy was not coated. The Wavian was coated, but, in truth, there were several small areas inside the can that either didn't have coating on them or where the coating caked off due to handling, or dropping of the cans. Excellent video. Where I live, I'm 20 miles from the first of two gas stations on the Island of Molokai. I need to keep spare gasoline at home to keep my cars and our power equipment running.

    Thank you Cody. I bought the Wavian based on the recommendation in your original video. It is made in Latvia, right next door to my native country, Lithuania, so I like that. The Wavian is definitely quality. What I will do is spread my Wavian purchases over the next three months until I get three cans. $80 a month is not a bad hit. I use the Archoil fuel preservative (recommended by Jay Leno's Garage) so the fuel will last months/years instead of weeks.Then I will have enough fuel for my generator and vehicle for emergency purposes. Thank you again for doing the review and bringing the issue to my attention. It may someday save my and my family's lives, and certainly it will save a lot of inconvenience with the uncertainties of the future.

    And Valpro branded cans can be purchased for significantly less money. Of course, they are not DOT or CARB compliant, because Valpro cans are sold without a spout. The thinking is, you may need several cans; but you only really NEED one spout.

    I've had experience with Scepter's MFC (8 years in the Canadian Forces). Made to NATO specs and are TOUGH, thick plastic. They stack and have the 3 handles. No fume or gas leaks, and they vent from the handle. Only problems are, it has a large threaded cap that often gets stuck TIGHT and requires a large wrench (or strong hands) to loosen . There was also the occasional can that leaked from the spout during use. I'm guessing it was due to my unit not keeping up with replacing gaskets/losing them. Nozzle is long and simple, with no annoying CARB gizmos. Can is lighter too at 5lbs, floats in water when full, and won't explode in a fire like a metal jerry (it will melt though). Won't dent or rust either. I do really like the simple latch system that Waivan uses over the threaded design Scepter uses. Waivans are $100 here in Canada compared to Scepters $80.

    I must agree with you once again. I have purchased 4 of the cheaper cans with many of the same results you had when trying to close the spout. If one budgets and makes a plan, over time they will have the better product that will last many years. I also found with both, the battery operated pumps motor that fits into the less expensive tank does not fit so that is another negative. I do not know about the higher priced can. thank you for the review.

    If/when you segment them (I vote yes) I'd do it along the weld so you can get the best view into the can (vs cutting horizontally across the can). I can see the argument for going cheap, but I'd personally prefer the one that works when you buy it (spout).

    I bought 2 of the cheap green cans. They were the first of that style of metal can I found on line. I was fed up with the plastic cans leaking, cracking, spout breaking and not working. I didn't know the was any type of difference. I see how flimsy they are in comparison to my older metal jeri cans. But my old cans were flimsy compared to the army surplus cans my cousin got back in the late 70s and early 80s. But I needed something. I use them weekly for my pump and little tractor. Also, my spouts do work fine. Yes gaskets are a pain. I just hope they last. But not sure I afford $80 for a top quality can, $40 maybe. And another note, you being a firefighter would have privileged knowledge of such industrial standard equipment that regular folks won't be exposed to at Walmart, napa, home depot or O'Reilly's. So, thank you for the video and exposure to equipment that is more industrially sound. Sometimes I can find the good stuff second hand, ie. swap meet, yard sale etc.

    Another advantage of the Wavian can is that the welds for the 2 halves are recessed. Also, does the inside of the two cans look like. Wavian has some kind of seal to prevent the metal from rusting. I understand also that Harbor Freight has/had one that compares favorably to the Wavian.
