500-miles on a Mexican highway will rub through the bottom of a plastic can set in the bed of a pickup. I've seen filled plastic tip over and split the seam. Newer metal cans are powder coated over hot dipped galvanized outside. The genuine original USA jerry cans (olive drab) were they same way. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages. This is nice. A choice is always nice. - Just curious what the advantage of the steel cans? They rust, dent, and are heavy. Plastic has none of those disadvantages. I'm actually serious about the advantages of the steel cans. Not trolling, just wondering.
- I bought the same gas can at Napa. List price was higher, but they marked it down on my request because at list price they don't move. Woot has a good price.

Totally agree and finding good quality metal cans these days is darn near impossible. Thanks for the link!- Personally I like the plastic jerry cans, nothing to rust so there's no scale on the inside. I have several that are 10 years old or more, no rust no fust. LOL
Any of the new fuel cans with the "safety" spouts are a major PIA, steel or plastic. - I have had nothing but grief with plastic jerry-jugs. Thought you folks would like to see galvanized steel cans. Yellow diesel cans are not exactly easy to find at a decent price.
