I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can still get them in Canada. If I'm mistaken please correct me.

As I understand it CARB regulations have made them illeagl in CA. Which has made them pretty much unavaliable in the US....
They come up for sale online once in a while and are quickly sold out...

I bought mine on eBay a couple years ago.
I just did an eBay search using "scepter cans" and and came up with numerous listings. Try your search again.

That is a metal can - The Scepter ones are plastic and super tough.
Here is a very similar one being sold as a 'water' can
Water can
The metal US style 5 gallon cans, in my opinion, are terrible. I've used the Scepter cans and they are much better. I personally have the metal NATO cans with the flip open lid, they rock and I have carried them on there side, flat, etc with no leaks.

Home owner grade and a different size than the standard Scepter cans. Much thinner plastic from what I have heard.

Try this. They only have the water cans but I have 4 of these and two of the original Scepter and can't see any difference. 18.99 and free shipping over $50. LCI is the main website and you have to log on as a guest to purchase.
They do have Property of the US Goverment on the side, but that doesn't bother me.
