When you're shopping for seals, gaskets, and o-rings, the real question is scale: are you replacing a small cap seal on a fuel can, or are you reassembling an engine that's already apart? These two products sit at opposite ends of that decision. The Jerry Can Replacement Gasket For 5 Gallon Military Cans 3 PACK handles a focused, everyday job, while the Engine Piston Gasket Repair Kit Replacement for Traxter is an engine-level project part from BriSunshine.
Quick verdict
If you need to seal a 5-gallon military-style fuel can's cap, the Jerry Can replacement set is the straightforward fix. If you're working on an engine and the listed Traxter or Can Am Outlander fitment matches your machine, the Engine Piston Gasket Repair Kit is the one designed for that much bigger job.

Where each product wins
The Jerry Can replacement wins when your workbench has a 5-gallon can with a worn cap seal. It is a small, affordable fix, and the three gaskets give you extras without making you buy a whole engine kit. It also skips the guesswork if all you need is a gas- and diesel-friendly rubber seal.
The Engine Piston Gasket Repair Kit wins when you are doing engine work on a compatible machine. This is the only one of the two that addresses an engine's internal sealing surfaces, and its listed fitment covers multiple Can Am Outlander 1000 configurations. If that fits your unit, it is the part that matches the project.
Jerry Can Replacement Gasket For 5 Gallon Military Cans 3 PACK
The Jerry Can Replacement Gasket is the quick, single-purpose option in this comparison. It is made from nitrile rubber and is described as gas and diesel friendly, which makes sense for a fuel-can cap seal. The three-pack gives you spares if you keep more than one can around, and the 1/8-inch thickness is a concrete detail you can confirm before ordering. The tradeoff is fitment: these gaskets fit 5-gallon metal cans with screw-on caps and are not for spouts. If your can uses a spout or a different cap design, this is the wrong part. It also only addresses the cap gasket, so it does nothing for other seals on a can. As a straightforward cap-gasket replacement, it is a useful part to have in the shop.
Engine Piston Gasket Repair Kit Replacement for Traxter
BriSunshine's Engine Piston Gasket Repair Kit is built for a much larger job. The description lists fitment for the HD10 Traxter and multiple Can Am Outlander 1000 configurations, and the kit includes one crankshaft, cylinder, piston gasket repair kit. If the Traxter or one of the listed Outlander models is what you're working on, this gives you the gaskets needed for engine-level reassembly. The limitation is the compatibility check: the description asks you to confirm the part fits your exact unit, so you should compare your model and part number before ordering. It is a heavy, sizable kit by the listed measurements, but that also means it is not a casual shelf part like a cap gasket. Spend time confirming the fitment; if it matches, this is the kit for the project.
