Choosing between these two gaskets is less about which one is better and more about which surface you're trying to seal. A leaky military fuel can and a Honda small engine need very different replacements, and both fall under the same seals, gaskets, and O-rings category. Here's how to match the right one to your job.
Quick Verdict
If you need a replacement gasket for a military-style fuel can, choose the Jerry Can Replacement Gasket For 5 Gallon Military Cans 3 PACK. If you're replacing engine gaskets on a Honda, choose the Rotary Brand Replacement Gasket Set 12314. The product names make the divide clear; only your application should decide.

Where Each Product Wins
Pick the Jerry Can gasket pack when the leak is at a fuel container's sealing point and you want gaskets designed for that job. It includes spare gaskets in the same box. Pick the Rotary gasket set when you're working on a Honda and need gaskets matched to that engine family. It carries the Honda replacement numbers, which makes it the more targeted choice for the job.
Product Notes
#### Jerry Can Replacement Gasket For 5 Gallon Military Cans 3 PACK
For $9.99, this 3-pack targets the most common failure point on a military-style 5-gallon can: the screw-on cap. The gaskets are made from nitrile rubber and handle gasoline and diesel, which matches the fuel they'll be touching. At 1/8 inch thick, they're ready to install without any extra adapting. Since the set is made in the USA, it's a straightforward domestic option for a simple replacement. The main limitation is the spout. These are not for the pour spout, so if that's where your leak is, this pack won't cover it. For cap seals, though, it gives you two spare gaskets after the first one goes in.
#### Rotary Brand Replacement Gasket Set 12314
The Rotary Brand Replacement Gasket Set 12314 costs $37.10 and is aimed at a narrower job: Honda GXV160 and GCV160 engines. It replaces Honda gaskets 06111-ZE7-406 and 061A1-ZE7-801, and the 12314 part number gives you a clear reference to match against your engine. Because it's labeled a gasket set, you're getting the grouped replacements for that service rather than a single seal. The limitation is scope. This isn't a universal seal and isn't intended for a fuel can, so it only makes sense if you're doing engine gasket work on a Honda in that engine family. If you don't have a GXV160 or GCV160, the jerry can gasket pack is more useful for its intended purpose.
Final Choice by Use Case
Buy the Jerry Can Replacement Gasket For 5 Gallon Military Cans 3 PACK for a military-style fuel can that needs a new cap seal. Buy the Rotary Brand Replacement Gasket Set 12314 for a Honda engine that needs its matching replacement gaskets. Let the application be the tiebreaker, and you'll end up with the right box.
