I've asked several times about the import/shipping issue and have never come up with a "for sure" answer. I've got a guy that has a ton of used cans in Ontario that I'm trying to put an order together with. Right now I've told him 20, but may bump that up closer to 40 if I can get him to give me a shipping quote. I'm aiming for shipment before the first, but need to know if I put them on a pallet, if my driver is going to have issues getting them accross the border.slooowr6 said:
Could someone post a link to the Bill or law that was passed? I've read a lot about the Child safety law and not being able to sell non tamper resistant cans after Jan 1st, but could not find anything about a private shipment being brought in across the border.

I could not find anything in this document about importing used cans. This is the child safety law for fuel cans. Still looking for the carb law.

So if I am going to have problems with the mother load shipment of used cans getting accross the border, did I miss the connection with whoever was going to DStactical this week?
I will get a price on shipping soon, likely when I get all the orders in for cans.
Scepter apparently got in touch with DS tactical and warned him not to send cans down south anymore or risk up to a $100,000 fine.
Apparently there is the same risk of a fine for me after the new year begins but I'm not sure who will check on private people shipping.
Just thinking I will be away for the holidays and back on the 30th so if I can have all the orders in by then, I will do all the shipping the same day.
Oh and shipping packs of 5 cans is easiest as they're already packed that way.

Does the packaging on the 5 packs fully cover the cans or are the 5 cans just banded together? If scepter is warning of $100k fine, it sounds like my trying to get a frieght truck with a pallet load across the border might be more difficult than I had planned. If I can't get anything put together on my own shipment I would love to get in on 5 cans. I'll pm you.

BQ Septer cans
I would like the same if at all possible. Gas spouts also. Zip 11789
On another note, I just got off the phone with BQ. They will sell the water cans to me here in the good ol US of A. They will not sell the gas spouts.
According to the BQ rep, the cans are identical except for the "Gas" or "Water" markings. So my thinking is that it might be a heck of a lot easier to just source the spouts from a friend in Canada an use water marked cans for what ever you might want to put in them.
Just make sure you don't drink the gas...

The water cans for fuel use may not be a great idea. The fuel can lids have a gasket, internal air flow channel and different threads on the lid so the pour spouts won't work on water cans. The water cans have a small pour opening as well as an air vent on the lid. IMO they will leak fuel like crazy.

I did a bunch of research on the use of water cans as fuel cans. The Water cans are slightly thinner walled and like has been mentioned are missing the sealing surface and the vent tube. It is probably doable with some PE plastic welding , but may not be worth it.
