NATO Style Steel Jerry Can Holder for 20 Liter (5 Gal.) Cans

I almost never do reviews, but this was necessary! I was hesitant to purchase this product because of the other information that indicated the Scepter 20L does not fit. As you see, it absolutely does. It is a bit of a squeeze, but doable. It appears as though the provided plastic pads are removable, so popping a couple of those out would create a more passive fit and allow for more mounting points. I will likely work on conforming the top strap to fit the scepter a bit better, and then spray it with bed liner, but wanted to photograph it as factory. Even as is, I think it would be fine. This unit is built very sturdy and reasonably priced. The lock has two positions (the scepter does require the lower/bigger position). I did not want one of the bolt together models all over amazon for overlanding use, too many potential failure/rust points. I am so glad I took a chance on this one! As a caveat this Scepter 20L was purchased in May 2023 as was the mounting rack. I am completely unfamiliar with how these respective sizes may have changed over the years.

Fitment of the Wavian metal 5gallon (20L) NATO can is spot on. No rattle and the locking band while good to keep the honest folk out its not going to stop a thief from stealing it. I waffled on the price at $100 each but by the time you buy metal, find the rubber to fit and build it all its hard to justify the custom job to save around $20.

The top latch has two settings. Fits Waivan. Note that hole for the pad lock to lock the top latch is very small and will only fit one of those small travel padlocks you might use for airplane luggage. A standard pad lock will not work.

We mounted this to the Prinsu rack on our overlanding rig. I had to drill 4 holes in it so that it would get good contact across 2 rails. It held the Wavian can with no vibration or play whatsoever. It's actually a pretty tight fit. The plastic isolators keep the can in place while also protecting the can from getting damaged. The steel is sufficient to hold the can tightly to the vehicle. The paint coating is thick and doesn't look like it will chip. Others have implied that this is an overpriced item, but its price is in line with others while providing superior quality. I expect to purchase another one in the future as you can never have too much fuel when off grid.

Very well-made item. The only issue I have is that the jerry cans I have don't fit in it -- they have seam welds that stick out just enough to keep them from going in. But that's the fault of the cans, not the holder. If you have a standard jerry can, and the seams are smooth, it should fit snug. Looks like a good product. Oh, you'll have to use your own mounting hardware, and if you want to attach it from the side/bottom, you'll have to tap that out. No biggie. The bottom and the side/top have pre-tapped holes.
