They're the same material of construction as the fuel containers the other person linked, so I don't see why not. I personally want something far more reliable for fuel than the thin plastic most modern fuel containers are made of, which is why I'm purchasing Jerry cans. But, if someone doesn't have a problem using the red fuel version, I see no reason why they would have an issue using the same thing in a blue color.

I don't see those plastic ones lasting more than a few years at most under semi-regular use and UV exposure. Because of that I don't mind spending 3-4X the cost on Jerry cans for something my grandkid's grandkid's will be able to use. They're fine for emergency use or if you're trying to store fuel a couple of times at most for short durations.

Apparently they need some slight modifications to the vent cap as they redesigned them to not seat fully to discourage fuel use.

You can look at it on Amazon to see what others are saying relative to fuel use (they just spray paint them red).

I have this Scepter water can which looks similar to the Igloo version.

Scepter Water Can (5-Gallon) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000MTI0GA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_39T3S355M73250NM6415

This dispenser worked well with the included yellow o-ring.

This one doesn’t fit as snug on the water can but has better water pressure.
