I have seen the pressure relieve tap only on 42 dated ,and also I have seen some 42 without it,so I assume this feature was discontinued in the same year.Anyone knows otherwise?

Hi Luca. I have 1942 and a 1943 Monarch Water Can with the pressure relieve tap. The Can has also USMC Stencil Markings. That tells us they made them for 2 Years. I have sent you a PIC if you want to Post it. Peter

Please post any other manufacturer you know of.

Hi Luca:

No movement here for many years and no Jerry can list.

But I will try to find anything about A Jerry Can made by QMC from 1942 that I am thinking on buying.
