A very thoughtful reader emailed me about this deal:
https://www.roverparts.com/off-road-accessories/jerry-cans/GJC20K4/
Four pack of Wavian NATO cans at $180 ($45 ea). Free shipping kicks in at $199 so go pick up a nozzle or something to go with them.
Or, do like I did and just order eight cans.
Thanks to the reader who sent me the info.
Thanks for the link.
Do you re-paint yours red/yellow so they’re street legal?
Absolutely not. I cannot imagine that any badge in Montana cares enough to even have it cross their mind.
That’s a really great tip! Wavian gas cans are top quality and usually around $80-$90/20L can. Only thing I would add is pickup some sta-bil or similar product to keep the gas functional.
Are they actually Wavian? I didn’t see that. Just that they were made in Europe.
Look at the image. Wavian logo stamped on the center of the can.
Nice!
They say that federal law prohibits them from being used for fuel. BWWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
unrelated but a convenient way for me to pass this along from a work computer:
Joel pointed out a potential issue for the Honda Generators in cold climates:

“Do you re-paint yours red/yellow so they’re street legal?”
Now they’re regulating the color of gas cans? Feds again, right?
I’m told you can be refused service at gas stations and/or ticketed for not transporting legally. Stupid rules, but I don’t need any more interactions with ‘the law’.
Thanks for the link, I have looking for a deal on these for a while.
Wants to charge me shipping
I see free(ish)
Damn
I ordered 8 total and it hit me with shipping. I will call tomorrow and hopefully get a refund.
Just ordered a set, they have the good spouts that make these cans really work well (time to empty 90 sec)and at a reasonable price. Thanks for the heads up.
They refunded the shipping as my order was over $200. Guy said it was a computer glitch for some customers. Super good customer service. Best deal on those I have ever seen.
Good deal.
Justrite 5 gal. red safety cans have nearly DOUBLED in price since last year, from $32.95 to $63.00 on Amazon.
I just ordered the set of 4 from roverparts.com They should arrive this week. I have six already and have NEVER had an issue buying and pumping fuel for them. And screw the feds… I use these to store my long term generator fuel, which is cycled out and burned in my vehicles every six months even though it is properly treated with Sta-Bil 360.
The free shipping did expire on these as of 11 28 22. it was a Cyber weekend deal only. Thanks for all the orders while the sale was ongoing
I await my sales commission check!
You did such a great job we have sold out. We should have a 1000 or so more in around mid to late January
Eric
Feel free to send a can or two to my PO box.
JFYI – I called company to ask a few Qs and found out that the shipping offer was for Black Friday only. Estimated shipping from NY to VA (me) was about $45. Wouldnt cut me any slack on shipping if I ordered more, but would reduce overall equipment costs by about 10%. YMMV.
Also, needed to consider the weight of the cans themselves. Little ole ladies like moi can’t wrangle full metal cans. Estimated weight of empty cans was about 10 lbs vs 3 or 4 for the US plastic ones. Then add the fuel weight.
If you are planning to order, suggest you call and chat with salesperson rather than just ordering online.
