I just want to clarify the fuel can issue in Ca. The old style jugs are still sold everywhere. They are just not sold as fuel cans. There is currently no enforcement on owning , possessing or using them anywhere as a fuel can. The blm has made it very clear and even documented it that they do not enforce that issue. It is 100% internet rumor with not one confirmed ticket documented.
To the OP please do not worry about DOT or CHP or anybody hassling you about a cat convertor. If it's not bellowing smoke they are not going to care.
Here is one documented example of what is real or rumor

The FAQ is for one specific OHV area, and the ARB doc is now 10 years old (and aimed specifically at labeling, not spill/vapor control).
Your points may still be valid and true, but the supporting documents are not especially strong. Thanks for adding to the discussion.
Here is some new stuff for you. http://www.arb.ca.gov/consprod/fuel-containers/pfc/pfc.htm
Again there is no law that exists that regulates USAGE. Yes they could get you for improper storage or transport but not usage. The laws only apply to the SALE of cans in California. Once that happened all the shops freaked out and told everyone they were illegal. Yes they're illegal to sale but not to use.
