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.
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:
Many models use a multi-layer plastic construction that slows fuel vapour permeation and keeps the fuel in good condition for longer during storage.
Scepter's canisters are designed so that refuelling is controlled and mess-free:
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.
Scepter's canisters and containers are suitable for, among other things:
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.
