    In what way?

    Have you owned Wavian fuel cans? They seem to be hard to top for durability.

    No I haven't but I lean towards the rugged tried and tested military spec made cans. Generally the military leans towards army green the fuel cans have a colored strap to identify the type of fuel...red for gas and yellow for diesel. I love watching military shows and in many you see in the back of humvees or tank...scepter fuel cans.

    Lol, I hated those scepter fuel cans. Such a pain in the ass.
    The military uses them because they're cheap, not because they're good.
    'Military spec' doesn't mean it's a quality product.

    I have owned Wavian (or whatever their name was before) and that shit was top notch.

    The Wavian cans are cold rolled steel. They're definitely going to hold up better than HDPE. check them out. Aside from the standard spouts being a pain in the ass (EPA safety crap) they're generally considered the best. They are beyond military spec.

    As someone who has both, Just-Rite cans are better. Either is head and shoulders above the plastic trash from Depot/Tractor Supply/whatever.

    Made to military contract specifications by the lowest bidder. The military doesn't overengineer anything.

    Except has to be durable, survive any environment, made to last, safe...otherwise is like those made in china overpriced containers...I'd trust anything military spec...after all when we do up our vehicles aren't we actually try to mimic a military vehicle that's capable to tackle much if not any terrain...exept no one is targeting us...ask that any active or former military...

    I have 2 statements that always work well....

    "I should replace this before it fails, it wouldn't be safe"
    "I need the supercharger, It would make the truck more reliable on the way to your families home in Idaho while driving through lake Tahoe " ahahahaha
