    A 2nd vote for the Midwest cans here. Got a total of three of them and they have held up very well over the years. Even the spouts they come with are ok IMO as long as you rip off the little red safety lock tab. That said I do use a Terrapump now so I dont even have to lift them out of the bed of the truck.

    I've got two Wavian cans. A little pricier than a regular, but well worth it. You can also get the smitty bilt jerry can holder for like $30 and bolt it to whatever you like and lock it.

    Torture test what sold me. Can't do that with a rotocrap

    Something to look into. I usually have a ratchet strap holding my fuel cans to cleats on the bed rail against the cab, and then a bike lock cable with a beefy padlock through the handles down to the D-rings on the bed.

    If the cans are in the bed, I wouldn't bother with a mount. It just eats up bed space when you're not using the cans

    Yeah, I like having them in the bed. Where they are now, against the cab on the driver's side, I can just open the side of my topper and run a siphon right to the gas tank.

    Do any of you guys know of any 1/2size Jerry cans that can fit in the space of 1 normal wavian sized Jerry can? I've seen the 10L wavian, but they are slightly too tall. I'm trying to fit two in the space of one to carry diesel and gas.

    After buying one, not sure I will ever buy the wavian steel jerry cans. Does anyone know of a dealer for the military fuel can in the us, in particular, the three handle ones.

    Why no Wavian? I have my eyes on that brand but open to hear feedback. My Rotopax doesn't carry enough for what it's worth.

    Having felt the wavian can vs the Specter ones. I think the Specer cans are half as heavy l and very durable. I think the plastic is 3/16" to 1/4" thick rotomolded. Way better than any plastic gas can and won't rust over time. The wavian ones have a really nice cam latch though, but I want to keep my weight down.
