Product code F21-AFM
A flame arrester sits in the neck and stops flame propagating back into the container. The United States requires one on portable fuel containers, and a standard NATO can has no provision for it.

Before you order: Compliance is certified per device and per container design. Confirm what is held for your specific combination before committing to a US programme.
A cam-lever NATO can was designed decades before this requirement and has nowhere to put one. Meeting the US rule means a different neck, not a different label.
This is the component that makes a US-market fuel can physically different from a European one. It cannot be added by paperwork.
Everyone selling fuel containers into the United States needs it, which makes it a component line as well as a fitment.
Whether a given can and arrester combination is certified is a question with one right answer, and it is on the certificate.
Steel holders, brackets and strap systems tooled to our own can geometry, for vehicle, trailer and wall mounting.
Rigid European pattern, flexible long-nose and auto-shutoff spouts, matched to the neck they actually screw into.
Vented and non-vented caps in DIN 45, 51 and 61, tamper-evident closures, cap liners and replacement gaskets.
Brass, stainless and polymer taps, plus breather valves, for turning a can into a static dispensing point.
Strap, buckle and ratchet kits that hold a can in its holder over rough ground, sold to our own holder geometry.
Child-resistant closures for portable fuel containers, the closure the United States requires on petrol, kerosene and diesel cans.
Adapters and couplings for drawing from a drum or IBC down into a jerry can, so the decanting step has a fitting rather than a funnel.
