You want the steel it sounds like. I bought two German or Swiss surplus cans
from a local survival supply store for $18 ea. I think they are advertised in
the "Cheaper than Dirt" mailorder surplus catalog also. They have a nice
latch feature and come with metal labeling for either gas or diesel and the
same style of can is available for water only. Although they are OD green
youcould paint or powder coat to suit. They do not fit the US jerry-can
mounting bracket so you are on your own there. I liked the labeling feature
and the boxy, German look.
