If you lose the covers to the breather cap and pour spout, don't bother trying to order them. They're not available. Instead, order the entire cap with the NSN NSN National Stock Number

If you have any metal caps lying around. it's best not to use them on plastic cans. A metal cap works for a short time on plastic. Bu! sooner or later the metal strips out the plastic threads. You get a poor seal and leaking leak

v.intr.
1. To permit the escape, entry, or passage of something through a breach or flaw:
 water. So. whenever possible, use plastic caps to seal plastic cans.

The Army no longer stocks the metal can, NSN 7240-00-242-6153. Look up the NSN in FED LOG and you'll find no information on it.
