Who is Scepter?

Scepter is a Canadian manufacturer specialising in fuel canisters and containers. The company's roots go back to 1949, when a young European immigrant, Evald Torokvei, started a small home-based manufacturing business in Canada.

The company developed the world's first blow-moulded fuel container and was the first manufacturer to replace metal fuel canisters with plastic ones – a shift that changed the way the whole industry makes canisters.

Since then, Scepter has grown into one of the longest-running and best-known manufacturers in the industry, and its canisters and containers are used for storing backup fuel at home as well as for fuelling motorcycles, ATVs, boats and small engines.

HDPE plastic: lightweight yet extremely durable

Scepter's canisters and containers are made from high-quality HDPE (high-density polyethylene) plastic. Compared to a traditional metal canister, plastic offers clear advantages:

• it doesn't rust or corrode, even if the canister is stored in a damp or outdoor space
• it withstands impacts and drops without denting or cracking
• it withstands UV radiation and temperature changes without losing its shape
• it's lighter to carry and handle, even when full, than a metal canister of the same size

Many models use a multi-layer plastic construction that slows fuel vapour permeation and keeps the fuel in good condition for longer during storage.

Safety is the starting point of the design

Scepter's canisters are designed so that refuelling is controlled and mess-free:

• the pouring spout is designed for a steady, adjustable flow, so the fuel goes into the tank rather than on the ground
• caps and locking mechanisms are designed to be child-safe
• many models feature a flame mitigation device that prevents vapours inside the canister from igniting
• a wide base keeps the canister standing firmly, even when full

Scepter has manufactured similar solutions for demanding military and marine use, and the same design philosophy – durability and safety first – has carried over into its canisters and containers made for consumers.

A versatile choice for fuelling vehicles and equipment

Scepter's canisters and containers are suitable for, among other things:

• fuelling motorcycles, mopeds and scooters
• fuelling ATVs and snowmobiles
• fuel servicing for boats and outboard motors
• fuelling lawnmowers, chainsaws and other small equipment
• storing fuel for generators and backup power equipment
• keeping a fuel reserve for longer drives or use at the cottage

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a plastic fuel canister over a metal one?

Plastic doesn't rust or corrode, it's lighter to handle and it withstands impacts better than thin sheet metal. Scepter's HDPE plastic keeps its shape and stays leak-tight for years of use.

Is Scepter a reliable manufacturer?

Scepter has been manufacturing fuel canisters and containers since 1949 and developed the world's first blow-moulded fuel container. Its long history and focus on fuel and fluid containers alone make it one of the best-known names in its field.
