Mar 12, 2015I've never had a problem with the plastic ones leaking, but the flow is horrendous. It's pretty easy to modify them to get a faster flow. I've found that plastic race fuel cans to be a good alternative. They normally have a faster flow and a flexible spout.
You can't beat a good quality NATO jerry can with a spout. The cans last forever. Pay attention to the seams and price of the can. If the seams stick out then you can be almost certain that it's a low quality can that will fail on you in no time. Look for seams that are recessed. Real NATO cans are designed to sit flush with each other. The price should be around $50 or higher for the good quality ones. Well worth the money.
