— the main advantage of metal over plastic is its high strength and reliability. In addition, metal is not afraid of static electricity, so fuel will be poured into such a canister at any gas station (whereas plastic can be difficult, see the relevant paragraph for more details).

Therefore, canisters of this type are relatively rare recently.
