Parts for Scepter cans

[Valence]

Where does someone find a new rubber for their Donkey?

(i guess I had to say it)

I realize I'm bumping a thread that has been dormant for 6 years, but I just hate to see questions unanswered when I know of at least one answer.

This seller "JAGMTE" (Just A Guy Making Things Easier) also sells heavily on eBay. But save a few dollars (already expensive enough) and you can order directly from his website:

You'll find replacement caps, flanges, Viton gaskets, different colored straps, spouts, O-rings for the spouts, and many videos he's made and put on YouTube to help you disassemble and reassemble your Scepter fuel can caps and why your inner flange keeps breaking (hint: non-Viton gasket swells when used with gasoline).

Scepter Fuel Can Gasket

Just asking where I can find a gasket for the cap on a Scepter diesel fuel can. The used one I purchased is missing one.

Thanks much.

They are widely available on a popular auction website. The grey gaskets are always Viton. The black gaskets "might" be. If you store petrol, you need Viton. Diesel does not matter.

I looked on eBay and didn't see any for a Scepter cap. Unless the ones for the "metal" gas cans will fit.

I just found that my cap is missing the flange/gasket unit altogether. It would have been nice if the person I bought it from would have mentioned it.

Now I'm trying to find the entire unit, but I'm only finding a couple of after market units.

It is a common problem with the 1st generation gaskets. When used with Gas or contaminated, they swell breaking off the retaining ring for the gasket off the flange.

Use a Viton gasket. End of problem.

I get my Scepter parts from DS tactical in Canada. They carry the full line including color coded cap retainers. Yellow - Diesel, Red- Gas

Thanks much.

That reminds me that I need to put an order for more replacement parts to DS Tactical!

Are they the ones up in New West? I think Scepter is actually out there, in Richmond. I grew up in Vancouver, BC.

I had the same idea from this thread, but just about everything is out of stock right now...

Hello, the link I provided in the very first post has these gaskets for sale, but here's a direct link if you're having trouble navigating the pages:

Thanks. But, it turned from a missing gasket to a missing flange unit. The gasket has to fit around the protruding center section of the flange.

Just the gasket might work, but wouldn't work as designed. Maybe that's how the water cans were made?

I ended up buying one of those aluminum flanges.

Even weirder my friend. The water ones don't have gaskets at all.
