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

Updated toward the end of this review, as of June 28, 2022. This can leaks from the bottom. Please read other reviews as well. Buyer Beware. Purchased early in 2021. I have kept the can completely in the dry the entire time. The can has ALWAYS been staged on a piece of plywood so as to not scratch or ding the bottom in any way. This can began leaking in early 2022. Currently, I have completed all the required steps under the warranty per the manufacturer. We are one month out from when Justrite approved a warranty replacement and they even sent written documentation. As of 4/19/22, the replacement has not arrived. Its Spring time. The can is needed. Spoke with Justrite Customer Service today and was told that the gaskets are on back order and that it may be three weeks. Read other reviews and decide for yourself. Something is not right here. I paid for and expected MADE IN USA QUALITY. Now, there are lots of questions concerning the USA part. I plan to update this review as the warranty situation plays out. June 28, 2022. The replacement arrived today and shows to have a stamped manufacturer date of this month, so I am pleased to be getting new stock. We only hope that the cause for the leaks has been taken care of. Will put this can in service and update here as to how it is holding up.

I much prefer a safer gas can than plastic, so I purchase these!

It’s easy to shut off the flow of fuel while you’re filling up your equipment

-- Update 4/19/23 - I emailed JustRite customer service and informed them about my leaking 5 gal Safety Can and provided my Amazon order number. They were responsive and emailed me back asking for the stamped Id number from the can plus a picture of the leaky behavior. After that they arranged shipment of a replacement can per the product warranty. I am updating my review to 4 stars based on their responsiveness and low-hassle warranty replacement. I am knocking a star due to having to deal with a leak at all, but may bump it back up in the future if my 3 cans remain leak free. -- Update 4/15/23 - This year one of my 3 year old red 5 gallon Type II Safety Cans started leaking from the bottom. I had it in the trunk of my car for about an hour because I drove to fill up my cans with ethanol-free fuel for my lawn equipment. My car smelled uncharacteristically of gas but I didnt really notice the leak until I set the can down on my patio after filling the mower. At first I thought I must have dribbled gas down the spout onto the ground - after all these are premium lifetime cans and a leak is unexpected. I returned the can to the shed only to find the floor saturated with fuel the next day. Not very safe for a Safety can! These safety cans stay out of the weather in my shed so abuse is not the cause of the leak. Im disappointed to say the least. Im reducing my review to 3 stars because the cans are awesome when they dont leak, but they should never leak. Ill be submitting a warranty claim but in the meantime the leaking can has 5 gallons of fresh fuel that is leaking and I have nowhere to put it. -- Original review Its silly to get excited about a gas can. Unless you use one frequently. If you are tired of the overpriced, over-complicated plastic cans with their clumsy vapor locks, look no further than JustRite. I now have three of these cans in various sizes and doubt I will need anything else for quite a while. These are high quality, sturdy and pour and stop well. The only negative might be the spring strength on the lid, which can make it difficult to hold the lid open with your hand. Go ahead and buy it, you wont be disappointed.

The spring on the lid is super strong. Safety good but you need to be careful filling it with fuel

Its a nice gas can. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Just looking at it you can tell its designed and built well but $60 for a gas can is steep. When you release the handle that stops the flow, the gas in the hose still comes out so it makes you feel like it doesnt stop immediately. If your topping off a dirt bike you need to be careful or youll still get gas all over. I think I had my expectations too high after reading all the great reviews, which left me underwhelmed. Its just a gas can. Oh, one more thing... the filler cap is spring loaded. I wish it had a lock out to hold it open while filling.

Great container for filling PWC

I got this can because I was tired of having to use funnels to keep all of the drips off of my yard equipment and snow equipment. This can is very well-made. It’s got good thick wall construction, the paint finish is nice, and with the easy opening valve on top it doesn’t leak and it’s easy to put in just the right amount of fuel. It’s also super nice that it doesn’t have all the stupid environmental recovery connectors on it so it’s easy to pour without those cheap plastic valves that break.

This 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.

Item states With 5/8 Flexible Spout, it was not in the box. You would think a name brand item would have the act together and process a simple order.!!! Pushed up to 4 stars, contacted Justrite and they shipped missing nozzle kit. Nice!!!
