[OverlandZJ]

Heres a good deal on Swiss NATO fuel cans. I preordered 8 of them a few weeks ago, should be about to arrive.

From what i have read these are compatible with your typical spout, but i plan to use a super siphon.

Cool!

Did you order? I emailed them and they are due in shortly.

No I would like to but dont have any cash right now. Il be ordering as soon as I can though.

These have arrived and shipping today. Glad to finally have my spare fuel situation taken care of. Wasnt about to pay $80 per for a Scepter can.

Now i just need to get my swingaway built to mount these on. I'll be closely copying Handlebars design but with three cans behind the hatch. AJ's OffRoad will be supplying the swingaway pivot once they are ready for shipping. Just have to decide if i'll use the GI style mounts or something else.

I received my order today. I could not be happier! These are used, but in excellent condition.

These are the good full seam cans. If you have a need for a Gerri can or two i highly recommend you place an order before their gone.

Never used a NATO can do they have a spout so that fuel can be introduced into the OEM tank inlet?

Hi Blue...

Yes, all the metal fuel cans have some sort of nozzle. I have read the swiss style is one of the best as it has a vented tube, but there will be modification needed for the newer style unleaded fuel necks we see everywhere now.

I personally wont be using one, i'll opt for using a super siphon.

Do they sell holders for the NATO cans similar to the Blitz can holder?

 

[OverlandZJ]

The NATO cans actually fit well into the Blitz can holders, (just checked) and you can get those just about anywhere.

Theres also a few company's making fuel can mounts, Adventure Trailers among others. I'll update later with links to others.
