Although they are as rare as hens teeth, a 20 litre Plastic Can also existed for Naptha, having a blue tab instead.
I'm not sure what the nexus was for changing to the plastic cans, but if it was for environmental reasons I'd laugh, as Jon pointed out, the adaptors (horse cocks) both old and new leak like crazy. Also, nothing like trying to get the cap off of a can that was filled in previously cold weather. They could have at least put bigger nubs on the cap for the hammer beatings to remove the cap. I've also seen more than one split open when dropped off of the top on an APC.
