kolpin has really gone to shit. The new caps they use leak like hell and there's no fixing them. Look at rotopax.com I have 3 of these and they are solid (rotomolded vs blown plastic) leak proof and tough as hell.

they have a discount for advers too.

Try Rotopax (sp?). Solid construction, but don't know about legal use in California.

Rotopax ship with a CARB certified spout, so Cali legal.

Plus the rotopax have an easy to attach bracket and are good for water or gas. Here is a link to a Canadian site but I am sure you can find them elsewhere.

I think the California requirement must have been specified by the oil companies. The new cans I have used seemed to spill about 50% of what you transfer. In general I don't complain about the air pollution laws in CA because I remember how much worse the air was back in the 70's, but unless there are better "legal" gas cans than the ones I have used, they really blew it on their gas can regulations.

I have both the RotopaX and Kolpin. They both work great and C.A.R.B. compliant. GSessories makes the mounting and has the fuel packs.
