Buying a Gas Can

Does anyone have the website of supplier or store for a very high quality metal safety-type gasoline can, preferrably a 2 or 2 1/2 gallon model with a long flexible spout? A vehicle mount is not necessary.
I'm interested in buying one that will safely travel in the back of a vehicle on a very long drive in hot weather where there absolutely are NO gasoline stations or road services. No odors, no seepage, no spills, no risk of spontaneous combustion is my goal here.
Thanks!

We used to carry Justrite cans, they were some tough cans, pouring from them can be a little tricky though.

I have one of those. You can't ask for better or safer storage, but I can't pour from it without a lot of spillage. I like the old Jerry Cans with detachable spout.

Mine has a donkey D*&^. It's probably 30 years old.

This is the one I have, but they didn't put the "roll cage" on mine.
It will last a life time. Mine's older than me, and still in "new" condition on all the moving/spring loaded parts.

These are pretty good too.

Why do you want a metal one? All you get is more weight. The plastic ones are great - I've got 4 5 gallon ones for the generator and 4 2 1/2 gallon ones.
I can't speak for Slow Hand, but I can tell you why I need metal cans. I keep my gas in a building that used to be a corncrib. It hasn't been used for corn in a bunch of years, but the * squirrels can't get that into their little peanut brains. Believe it or not, squirrels will eat holes in plastic gas cans which are full of gas. Not to mention the metal doesn't break down and split as fast as plastic does. Also, I believe the metal cans are safer to carry in a vehicle.

Normally I can haul around five or so gallons.
