Default Where can I get an old style non CARB 5-gal gasoline can?

I was also going to suggest the red paint. I'm not sure when the
standard came to be, but red is gasoline, blue for kerosene, yellow
for diesel.

With any luck, green will be for E-85 fuel, when they get around to
making a color for that.

If you do that, don't forget to hit the tops with a spray can of red
paint before you fill them the first time, lest some busybody at the
gas
station get on you for using the wrong can.

(When did red become 'required', anyway? Back in stone age, we had
several pretty navy blue Belknap 5-gallon cans, with a seperate tiny
lid
for venting. No keeper chains, though, so you always had to be careful
where you set it down.)
