Topic: Group Buy 20L NATO Gas Cans

[Caboose]

Hey guys, im thinking about putting together a group buy on 20L NATO Gas Cans they would be $50 a piece and pickup would be out of Fresno at my house.  Was wondering who would be interested if anyone?  I can also get the 10L ones but they are the same price i was gonna get one to hold oil on the trail.

Edit: Forgot the price of shipping.

what do they look like?

[Caboose [OP]]

Green cans, new production, with the latch style lid, not the US screw style cans. 

Other than that, they are kind of squarish with rounded edges, has a handle on top, and for the most part looks like a standard container.

Yep

You can get them at places like CTD for $45. They had a sale a few months ago, 4 for like $100 or something. They also had some little 2.5 gallon ones that were pretty sweet if I recall. I recommend getting one of the latch nozzles.

Thats pretty good.  The army surplus here in fresno has these for $19.99 Apparently these are the new jerry/gerry cans.  http://olive-drab.com/od_mvg_jerry_can_plastic.php
