New emission and spill-control regulations for portable fuel containers are in effect in California as of January 1, 2001. In response to the new California legislation, Scepter Corporation developed the ECO Gas Cans now available nationwide from Yamaha. These rustproof, unbreakable, non-corroding cans use patented DuPont laminar technology to meet all the stringent demands of CARB, with permeation levels well below the maximum 0.40 grams per gallon per day. In addition, these cans are UL certified to ASTM standard PS91.00. Scepter has also developed the patented Spill Proof Spout, a self venting spout that automatically shuts off when the gas tank reaches capacity.
