I bought the can that I carry gas in here: Atlantic British Jerry can
The can is made in England and built to NATO specs. It is not galvanized but is fully painted inside and out. It does not meet U.S. CARB specs so for legal purposes Atlantic British sells it stating that it can not be used for gasoline.
It is about the best can for transporting gasoline. It simply does not leak.
Why would you transport fuel in a container that federal law prohibits its use for transporting fuel??
Curious what is wrong with this can. What are the "CARB" specs.
