> 3 dayFinally, a REAL gas can! I slaved for years with those ventless plastic cans with those ridiculous safety spouts you have to pull back on to get the fuel to flow. And, they vent through the spout so youre assured to spill gas all over you and the mower, ground.... And they are supposed to be better for the environment? Heres a thought for ya BIG GOV. Im retired with a nice pension, so I can afford to just unscrew the spout from those pieces of sh*t, and spill gasoline ALL OVER THE PLACE! Ill just buy more gas... Take that EPA. That said, the Justrite solves ALL these problems. I filled it at the station (didnt spill a drop), it didnt make the inside of my Jeep smell like fuel, and it pours perfectly., No spills at all. It vents through a device in the handle (or so it sounds) and empties quickly. The flexible gooseneck spout is great. I see there are some with a built-in yellow funnel, but the goose neck is the way to go. I will be buying several more of these.... CG

> 3 dayIts probably the EPA that makes this can bad and not the manufacturer. The ball bearing to release gas does not have enough movement so gas flows around the edge of the tube instead of along the bottom side as you would expect. This makes it difficult to see how full the tank youre pouring into is - likely making you spill gas at least your first time. And any tiny touch with a metal like a round edge wrench - removed the yellow paint. Very soft paint coating. Imo. How do you fill it? I imagine you put the standard gas pump nossle right in the top cap. But what if youre filling with gas from another container? I have to hold or wedge the spring top open and then pour? Annoying. I personally wouldve liked to see: Stainless steel instead of galvanized. Along with more movement on the ball seal so gas can flow at the bottom of the tube. Im ok with using it now, but I would not recommend it. Theres got to be something better. Will continue searching for a decent can. The new EPA regulations make me spill more gas per week than I have in all of 10 years with the old gas can designs. Im seriously convinced the EPA was looking for the best way to pollute the environment with the new design. Perhaps it was just good intentions and poor execution as is typical of government.

Here is my honest opinion
> 3 dayI bought this after I bought the one just like it but with the 5/8 nozzle. The smaller nozzle took too long to fill the things I wanted to use it for (riding lawn mower, ATV, boat) and since they all had large fuel supply holes I got this (I understand I will need the 5/8 for cars or the smaller garden tools). I am very happy with the quality. My husband filled both tanks at a gas station a half hour away and I couldnt even tell that they had been in the car. We had been using the plastic containers, which made the car stink for days. I also hated to have to unscrew the nozzle, turn it around (getting gas on my hands) and try to get the nozzle in the lawnmower tank without spilling anything. This requires you squeeze a handle before the gas is released, the same idea as a gas pump, so nothing spills. It also feels much safer than the plastic tanks. The only downside of these versus the plastic is the weight. They do weigh considerably more. Once I add 5 gallons of gas they get heavy. That is why I got this 1 nozzle version as it takes less time before the gas is transferred. I am very happy with these cans. My neighborhood is geeky enough that I have had some neighbors stop by to see our new cans. Every guy has said that their wife wants the same as they also are a little freaked by the safety issues of the plastic cans. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayThese 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.

Here is my honest opinion
> 3 dayI am very happy with the quality of this product. The weight when full combined with the 5/8 nozzle made it a little hard for me to fill some of our equipment so I also bought the 1 (I understand the 5/8 is required for cars and some equipment, but I was using it to fill things like lawn misers with big openings). Thefill transfers fuel much faster, so if that would work for your use I recommend it over this 5/8 one.

> 3 dayIf you dont like the smell of gasoline, this is the gas can to get. The seals work well. The fill cap is sprung very tightly so it can be extra effort to fill the can, but this equals a good seal. I believe the 1-inch spout is too big for unleaded auto fillers so get the 5/8-inch if youre using it for your car, but the 1-inch spout is great for everything else. Also, the metal can and airtight seals keep the gas from going stale as quickly as it does in a plastic jug. I carry these all over the country in an enclosed motorcycle trailer and it makes a big difference compared to plastic jugs. Several other reviews say that the cans are made in China. I have two Justrite gas cans and one Justrite diesel can and all three say made in the USA. Specifically, Proudly Made in the USA of US and Imported Parts. These have been purchased as recently as Nov 2014 and the first in early 2012. There is nothing on the boxes or any of the cans that says anything about Made in China.
