> 3 dayIt seems extravagant compared to plastic but will probably outlast many repurchases of the cheaper variety. I love the spout and the handle trigger to control flow. I was having trouble with my lawnmower and think that most of the problem was bad gasoline due to a plastic can that was letting the volatiles escape. The mower is running much better since I switched cans.

> 3 daySolid product. Even holding the filler cap open is not the issue for me as indicated by other reviews. Cost justified by the expense of all the other plastic cans I purchased in the last five years. I was getting ready to buy another when I pulled a Howard Beale moment, did the math and bought it. Having worked in safety and quality, it only makes sense if youre going to leave the can in the sun while you work, and especially if you cut a lot like I do. Be sure to do the pressure relief before you pour. And order the mixed fuel labels if youre using it for two cycle fuel.

> 3 dayAfter 2 1/2 years the 5 gallon gas can started leaking around the bottom of the container. Its a very small leak more like weeping. The gas can looks like new and has not been abused. Additional follow-up after reaching out to Justrite. I sent customer service pictures of the gas can and they have approved sending me a replacement under warranty at no cost. They do not require me to return the defective product. Based on excellent customer service I have changed my review to 5 stars.

Greater than one weekThis gas can is fantastic. It arrived in pristine condition, no dents, scratches or paint imperfections. I thought I ordered the skinny hose but instead I ordered the fat one. Im glad it worked out the way it did because its what I would have wanted. The can is heavy when its full so if you have a weak wrist or arm go with the 2.5 gallon can. With the safety features and functionality of this can it cant be beaten. I know its a little pricey but well worth the money. I have to drive twenty mile to buy non-ethanol fuel and I feel comfortable doing so with this can in my car.

> 3 dayThis is my second Justrite purchase. I bought a 2 gallon gas can last year for chainsaw premix and loved that it does not leak and is easy to start and stop the flow, making refueling easy and spill free. I bought two 5 gallon cans for diesel to refuel heavy equipment in remote areas. Like the gas can, they work as designed. After throwing away leaky plastic cans I made a vow to spend a bit more and buy it once. I have used the NATO style Jerry cans from one of the better makers, and they work too, but for these applications (where mounting to vehicles is not necessary) the Justrite works just as well and is less expensive for the quality. The only thing to be aware of is that the cap has a very strong spring which is a blessing and a bit of a hassle. It keeps it tight and leak free, but requires both hands throughout the filling process. This was a buy again purchase and if, for some reason, I needed another fuel can, it would be a Justrite can.

> 3 dayThis gas can is incredible. I am so tired of all the plastic cans with their “safety” features. I always end up with gas all over me and the ground. This can is awesome. It is built like a tank, has a beefy cork gasket between the hose and the can, the door where you put gas in at has a massive spring on it. I literally filled it up, turned it completely upside down and shook it (just to see what would happen). Not a drop came out. Then I filled up my generator and easily controlled the flow of gas with the lever. I never thought I would cherish a gas can before. It’s built so well I might get to hand it down to my kids.

> 3 dayI love using metal gas cans, I’m not sure why they are so expensive. If you use them a lot you know why and can see how much nice it is over the plastic containers.

> 3 dayI bought this product 5 years ago. I was telling a friend about it who asked me if I knew where to find an old gas can without those new safety features. I love this can so I came back to give it a five star review. It seems like it will last forever, and everything about it is easy to use. I will never ever go back to using those cheap plasticy things.
