They are less than 4 years old and not used much at all. I bought them at Canadian Tire in 2013. Still look like brand new. They are this new CARB-compliant design, which seems to have made all fuel containers less reliable for some reason. I remember older green military-looking metal gas cans - old and rusty, but simple latch or a screw-on cap with no leaks whatsoever...
They do not smell when filled and static. But as the vehicle starts moving, the smell is noticeable. Obviously, through either the big cap or vent cap...
