Nice can ... but ... expensive:

I need about 10 5-gallon gasoline cans.
How do you think that round can stacks up against the
Nato-style Jerry cans such as these?

BTW, these $55 Amazon Nato-like cans "say" they're CARB compliant.

Does that mean they stink?

If you're not here in the Peoples Republic of Calif, there's no reason to try to find CARB or AQMD approved cans. They are only concerned with hydrocarbons in the local air. The weather conditions here are ideal for creating smog and gas fumes are the number one ingredient. I still think these type of new cans is not the way to go. I got an electric mower several years ago and couldn't be happier and if I need gasoline, I just siphon it from the gas tank into any old jug I have laying around. Always good to have a nice pair of jugs around, eh? LOL!!

Right or wrong, there are all kinds of rules and laws that are (or should be) universally ignored and can't be enforced....

1. You can't give the mailman an unstamped greeting card unless you hand it to him.
2. The mailman can't drop a thank you note on your doorstep without a stamp on it.
3. You technically can't park in a metered space without paying, even if there is time still left on the meter in most big cities.
4. You can't chew gum anywhere in Singapore.
5. You can't yell at anyone - that's technically assault or abuse.
6. You can't make a video on public property without a permit.

However, you can collect things for old time sake....
