Wavian USA Authentic NATO Jerry Can and Spout System - Rust-Proof, EPA & CARB Compliant, Wavian 2.65 Gallon Gas Cans for Diesel (Yellow, 10 Liters)

Llego la garrafa golpeada a pesar de que la caja de empaque estaba en buen estado; lo que parece indicar que estaba abollada desde origen. Pero después de solicitar el cambio llegó una en buen estado y tiene excelente desempeño.

Missing spout

We needed a quality gas can that would accompany our UTV on our many forays deep into the backcountry. After cheaping out on a no-name Euro-style, pseudo-Jerry gas can (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DY7BXPZY), I was so disappointed in the construction quality and shortcuts taken that I didn't even try to do a leak test on it. Like most of the cheaper pseudo-Jerry cans, it had a protruding marriage seam where the two halves were welded together - including on the bottom of the can so it wouldn't sit flat on a horizontal surface. Back it went the next day and I ordered this Euro-type mostly NATO spec Wavian can made in Latvia. It cost almost twice as much as the one I sent back, but. It has the recessed marriage seam and definitely has thicker metal, better workmanship, and thicker paint. As they say, you get what you pay for. We filled it up and took it on a full-day shakedown test in Idaho's backcountry mounted on our UTV. The 40-mile round trip on the trailer was 50% stop-and-go traffic and 50% at interstate speeds with lots of winding curves. Next came the 65-mile round trip from the trailhead over rough, rocky, runoff carved backcountry roads. These roads were often off-camber, jilting side-to-side, plenty of bouncing up and down, including crawling over the occasional fallen tree limbs crossing our path, etc. it was like a poor man's version of a shake table experiment. As best as I could tell, the can didn't leak a drop. Note that we did take advantage of the safety pin that holds the lid tightly shut. It works and I highly recommend you use it. What I didn't like: 1. The plastic storage clip for the pour nozzle comes uninstalled and doesn't hold the nozzle well at all. Someone might make some good coin by selling one that will. Make it out of non-ferrous sheet metal please. 👍🏻 2. The accompanying pour spout fell a little short (pun intended). It fit the can fine and didn't leak but I found it too short for some applications. On the positive side, it is self venting and you don't have to Dremel off part of the vent because this Euro can is true to NATO spec and doesn't have the dubious plastic spark arrester in the way. Some reviewers have commented about the detached small diameter plastic pour adapter being ridiculously hard or impossible to insert into the end of the larger plastic pour nozzle. I agree. However, it took 3 minutes on the drill press putting chamfers on the mating ends of the nozzle and adapter to made it tolerable. Yes, they still fit snugly but it was no longer ridiculously difficult to attach and detach the adaptor. See attached pics. I can imagine using the adapter for better control filling smaller tanks like a 4-cycle power washer, a portable Honda generator, a lawn mower, a snow blower, etc. For more gas thirsty applications, we ordered a longer Euro-type spout at additional cost. In my opinion, it should be offered as an option on this Jerry can for those who value the versatility and accessibility the longer length provides (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081HZGDDD). It too comes with that same useless plastic storage clip. 🙄 Edit 6/5/2025: I was able to get the plastic storage grip to hold slightly better - emphasis on "slightly". I used electrical tape to "fatten up the part of the nozzles that sits in the clip. It's a kludge that won't last long. Perhaps if you can get a large enough piece of heat shrink tubing... See three new pics attached.

El material del tanque de muy buena calidad en el material y la pintura excelente, muy recomendable la verdad 100%

The jerry can construction and paint are of excellent quality. The nozzle worked perfectly on my jeep jk and didn't leak at all! It looks great and performs flawlessly. You can't find jerry cans like this just anywhere and if taken care of should last for decades. Not sure why some reviews are negative. Guessing some people can't figure it out or had shipping issues. I wouldnt hesitate to order another!
