# Grab a Classic-Looking Jerry Can While They’re on Sale at 25% Off

[My 1975 International Scout](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/a-dumb-problem-sidelined-my-ih-scout-for-20-months-my-father-in-law-fixed-it-in-20-minutes>) is recovering from hibernation. When I parked it some 20 months ago, I fueled it up with ethanol-free 91-octane gasoline and a dose of [Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer](<https://www.amazon.com/STA-BIL-22214-Fuel-Stabilizer-Fluid_Ounces/dp/B000B68V6I/?tag=drive09e6-20&th=1>), but I suspect the gas still degraded somewhat. If I siphon out the pickled petrol, fresh fuel should improve the rhythm of the old V8. This led me to look for cheap jerry cans (a vessel for the bad gas), and hey, [these classic-looking units](<https://lowes.sjv.io/c/2095194/897039/12374?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2Fpd%2FVEVOR-5-3-Gallons-Metal-Gasoline-Can%2F5014481955&subId1=TD>) are on sale.

I don't have any experience with the Vevor brand, but I do see it around. And at $35.44 (via Lowe's Home Improvement Store) for [classic-looking 5.3-liter jerry cans](<https://lowes.sjv.io/c/2095194/897039/12374?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2Fpd%2FVEVOR-5-3-Gallons-Metal-Gasoline-Can%2F5014481955&subId1=TD>) that are normally about $50, I'd be willing to check these out for the aesthetic alone. They just look the way gas cans are supposed to, as silly as that sounds.

That said, if you only want the cheapest way to haul five gallons of gasoline safely, you can get a better deal with the [Midwest Can 5610](<https://goto.walmart.com/c/2095194/565706/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FMidwest-Can-5-Gallon-Auto-Shut-off-Gasoline-Can-5610-4-Red-in-Color%2F700155295&subId1=TD>). That's also on sale for $17.97 (via [Walmart](<https://goto.walmart.com/c/2095194/565706/9383?veh=aff&sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FMidwest-Can-5-Gallon-Auto-Shut-off-Gasoline-Can-5610-4-Red-in-Color%2F700155295&subId1=TD>)) and ships immediately. It's reportedly US-made, and "meets CARB and EPA requirements." I'll be grabbing a couple of those instead for my Scout-siphoning mission, since my county's recycling facilities will probably not give my cans of unburnable petrol back when I drop them at a [hazardous waste collection event](<https://dec.ny.gov/environmental-protection/waste-management/solid-waste-management-facilities/household-hazardous-waste-collection-events>). So, I might as well get the absolute cheapest thing that's rated to hold fuel and oil.
