Justrite 5 Gallon Red AccuFlow Galvanized Steel Type II Vented Safety Can With Stainless Steel Flame Arrester And 1 Metal Hose (For Flammable Liquids)

I was a bit concerned by some of the reviews but have had zero issues with the filler cap or filling the can. I am not sure what people are comparing it against when they dislike it. This is as solid as my old USA made eagle can and is perfect for my old tractor and truck with the 1 nozzle. I used this to replace an old jerry can that rusted through but bought this instead of the new NATO ones that seem to be junk.

Over the last several years I have gone through several plastic gas cans. They just fall apart, and they are extremely awkward to use when filling up my lawn equipment. I finally broke down and spent the money on this metal can. It has met or exceeded all of my expectations. The fact that it is made of metal I feel like it should be the last can I will ever need to buy. It is very easy to fill lawn equipment with the adjustable pull handle and not have gas spill out. You can adjust the flow by varying the pressure on the squeeze handle. Filling the can is a bit more problematic. The lid is spring loaded and you have to hold it open and try to get the gas nozzle in at the same time. Its not overly difficult to do. I just put my foot on the can and use one hand to open the can and the other to hold the nozzle. Once the nozzle is in the can you dont have any problems with the lid. The good news is that since the lid is spring loaded once the gas is in the can, the spring keeps the gas from leaking out and you dont have to worry about you car smelling like fuel. All in all its just a slight inconvenience for the superior quality of the can and its performance. If you are looking for a high quality gas can that works and that will last, this is your can.

The one thing I DONT want from a gas can is a leak... so I ordered this Safety Can from Amazon. The flex hose attachment arrived defective and I contacted JUSTRITE customer service. A nice lady wanted pictures of the defect, which I eventually provided after several tries at sizing a JPEG that would transmit. She said they would send a replacement. That was three weeks ago. Still waiting. Sent a follow-up email. Still waiting. As for the defect... if you are interested: The can arrived with the flex hose (spout) unattached (I think, to simplify packaging). Okay with me... so far. The separate flex hose package contained a cork gasket and two screws. Should be a simple matter to turn two screws and secure spout to can. The flex hose has a spiral spring attached at the base (I think, to relieve strain at the attaching point- not a bad idea.) BUT... the spring seems to be an after-thought... an add-on... and it is attached to the flex hose flange with a rivet that occupies one of the screw holes. Its a through-rivet and accommodates the use of the screw, but shortens the reach of the threads... AND... the rivet itself lifts one side of the hose flange slightly from the face of the flange on the can. This lift necessitates using more torque on that screw and, I think, crushes the cork seal on that side in order to affect a seal. My years of aviation and watercraft maintenance work and my training and experience as a Safety Officer makes me leery. The flange faces should go flat-on-flat with a good gasket between. But... okay... Ill try. I think-- They must have tested this design. BUT... then I notice that the flex hose flange, which SHOULD be flat, is slightly curved or bent. Now I see that Im going to try to attach a bent flange with a designed-in lift to a flat flange on the can. Thats where I balked at trying and asked for a replacement... three weeks ago. The can sits idle in the meantime. So I just ordered and paid for a replacement flex hose from Amazon. Now this can cost me an extra twenty bucks, but at least I may get to use it. Ill reserve final judgment... until after I get a hose attached and pour some fuel. Meantime... two stars for the JUSTRITE.product (the can LOOKS like it will serve... and two stars for JUSTRITE customer service (they did respond... just didnt follow through in a timely manner. But they were nice.) (ALSO KNOW THIS--- Amazon will not accept this product return... even unused. That bit of info should be displayed in bold type. But it is displayed... so fair enough.)

Handles are very comfortable and the fuel flows freely with out air gulping back through the nozzle. I have several 5 gallon size Justrite fuel containers and have been very pleased. This is likely not required but I took a step to fill each with only 4.8 gallons to accommodate any temperature induced fuel expansion. I’m reviewing the 5 gallon size tank, so one should note that the cylinder with fuel weighs ~37 pounds. The handles are ergonomic but some users may be happier with the 2.5 gallon size. Always look for “Sold By Amazon, Shipped by Amazon” in the vendor description. Their standard return policy will apply. I did not need to return any of the 7 I ordered.

One of the few safety cans that pours well. I would give it 5 stars as it is a well built and useful product however, it does tip over easily in the truck bed while driving if not secured. Yes, it should always be secured empty or full I know.

I have tired of the plastic jugs with the ever-changing, convoluted safety spouts. Those are all sloppy filling the largest machines and horrid when filling the small. There is no sure control of fuel flow. Accuflow solves that. It allows for perfect control by way of handle and grip, seals perfectly and will not spill if turned over.

All around great gas can super easy pouring and filling. Absolutely leakproof and solid all around. Though expensive, it’s worth what you pay. Great for storage and transport. The only downsides would be price and weight but those really aren’t significant. If your looking for a quality gas can that will last forever and not be a hassle this will exceed your expectations.

The can is far better than the plastic cans, which are garbage. Ive spilled more gas with the newer plastic cans than any before. This metal can is much better but it is too easy to spill. The trigger mechanism doesnt allow flow unless it is fully operated, and it is inconveniently situated. It is either full on or full off, so it spills easily when the tank being filled gets full. The fill neck of the metal can has a spring that requires far too much force to open the cover, and it has no means of being locked open. The only purpose of this cover is to prevent evaporation and entry of dust and insects. If filling this can from another can, you need three hands, one to hold the cover open and two to hold the filling can. Why is it so hard to operate? Give me an old military 5 gallon can, which is fool-proof.

These Justrite gas & fuel cans are simply awesome! Sure, they are a little expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for with this product! I now own 2 of the 5 gallon cans with the 1” spout and 2 of the 2 gallon cans with the smaller spouts. All of them perform excellent! Quit struggling with the terrible plastic ‘junkcans’ and order yourself or your contractor buddies one of these ASAP! Oh and by they way... Ray at Pro Supply Co. immediately replaced my latest can that got crushed in transit, so not only will you get a great product, it comes with outstanding customer service!

These cans are still the best after all these years. Don’t try and reinvent the wheel. I had a mishap with plastic cans. I’ll never go back. Lucky to have survived.
