I bought two Wavian jerry cans from these folks.

 

Good folks to work with and good service. Very high quality and will not leak.

 

Looks like they are also on back order as a result of the hurricanes

I have AT holder and really like it tho the 5 gal can be a little difficult for me to hoist when full. I have to put my step-stool out to get the gas can in/out  :)  (I'm 5'4")

 

I also liked the RotoPax, but didn't want to drill into my camper to mount them.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to go with the AT can holder. Tried to order from jerrycan.com but not having any luck. Maybe they don't take orders from Canada?? Wanting to have it shipped to ATC for my late January Ocelot pick-up. Any other suppliers you recommend? Thanks.

If you are in Canada, I would get the Scepter military spec plastic cans- way better. You can buy them at Princess Auto and other places. Can't ship them to the US though.

AT Holder here...

 

Installed it in their parking lot in Prescott.  Rather then digging out my tools, they insisted I use theirs!  Very nice folks!

 

Use it for a 5G Sceptre potable water can.  Also have the 5G Sceptre fuel can (model prior to CARB2 requirement) but have never used it.

I bought my Scepter MFC's at DS Tactical here in Canada. At the time they were $10 less than Princess Auto. (and they ship as well)

The Scepter MFC's are strong like borscht too. And they never leak, and I'm pretty sure youcan drive over them and they'd remain intact. FYI. I'd buy both the long flexible clear spigot attachment, and the MFC cap wrench (the caps can be a beetch to remove sometimes)

Thanks Guys. I ended up buying the one from Princess Auto. Sure does seem heavy duty.

You won't be sorry.

I made a spout out of pipe parts:

I agree about the wrench. I've been going to make one of those too but haven't gotten around to it. I use a strap wrench now. Works, but I think I could make a nice wrench out of oak, or maybe baltic birch.
