> 3 dayArrived with a dent in the bottom, even though the package was unmarred. That tells me it was probably shipped already damaged. Other than that it seems like it will work well, although the handle to open the valve is harder to hold open than I thought it would be. I refuse to ever spend another dollar on those cheap plastic cans that make you press the nozzle down against the tank opening to start the fuel flow. This system is leak proof and imminently more sturdy and secure than the plastic alternative. I use similar cans (http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-50-FS-Galvanized-Gasoline-Capacity/dp/B00004Y75M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1417295006&sr=8-5&keywords=fuel+can) for all my 2 cycle and 4 cycle gasoline requirements as well. 12/30/2014 I wanted to add that after the first couple of uses, I like it even more and decided to raise it from 4 stars to 5. To refuel my tractor, I have to climb up and over the front end loader, which is a very precarious position to be that far off the ground. I found that with this can, I can lay it down on the edge of the hood, and as long as I can shape the nozzle to fit in the tank, I can pour fuel without spilling a drop. even upside down, the can holds the fuel in and remains leak free. All I have to do is tug the handle to start the fuel flow, and if I or the can slip, release the handle, and even if I drop it all the way to the ground, will not spill a drop. Definitely worth the purchase price!

> 3 dayHands down the best gas can you can buy that Im aware of. Im sick of the plastic ones expanding in the summer, then contracting in the winter, and never holding the same shape ever again. This one is solid metal, with a sturdy construction. Ive only used it for lawn equipment, and from my experience, its super easy to pour. Rarely do I get some spillage, and if I do, nine times out of ten, its my fault. It was super easy to assemble when it arrived. Ive got one for mixed, and one for gasoline. Ill never buy or recommend another gas can in my life.

> 3 dayWe use a lot of small gas cans - at home and on our business trucks. At first we used the red plastic ones you find at the local store for $10 to $20. Our gas can are sometimes in direct sun and often in hot trucks. The plastic cans looked like they were about to explode - and probably eventually would. We could rarely get those valves to work and allow us to control the gas flow. We next graduated to metal gas cans with a yellow funnel attached. A bit of a pain because you had to remove the funnel to refill the can and then put the funnel back on - not all that easy. It was a big improvement over the plastic cans. The metal was light weight and gets dented on our truck and some of the handle welds have broken so the handle is attached on just one side. Not the greatest, but at least it didnt seem like it would explode. We recently discovered these JustRight Accuflow Type II cans. Wow. Much sturdier than the other metal cans (let alone the plastic) but also very easy to refill and very easy to control the flow. You just have to remember to stop the flow before the small engines tank is quite full because some gas in the metal hose will continue to come out after you cut off the flow. Very solid in every way. I dont think I will ever buy any other gas can. We will eventually replace our current cans with these as they get beaten up.

10-06-2025These cans (I own two) feel great to handle (nice weight and feels solid) and are a dream for filling large and small gas tanks. I had a problem with this can that I got from Amazon. When the can developed a leak I found that I could not return it to amazon. I then called justrite on their customer service line. The nice lady who answered (a real person answered immediately) told me that all I needed to do was send a picture of the can and they would “handle it”. Shortly after I sent the email a new can showed up. An American company backing their product without a hassle. What a relief to know that some companies still act properly!!! I would buy this for a gift or another for myself if I found a use.

> 3 dayExcellent, safe, and easy to use. If you are going to travel with bulk gasoline in your vehicle and dont want to become a Molotov cocktail during an accident, then get a safety can. I used the plastic cans for years in my yard for mowers, weed eaters, and such without much thought as to how dangerous they really are. Just transporting them in the back of my pickup to the filling station and back was not terribly risky, but we were planning on an extended trip pulling a travel trailer through the desert and I wanted a safety net in case gas was hard to find. This can gives me peace of mind that it will be safe in an accident, doesnt have any odor or fume smell...at all, and will provide the extra cushion in between stations if needed. Even closed up under the bed cover of my truck it has no gas fume odor and will not spill even on its side. Very recommended if you travel as we do, or if you have to carry fuel around with you all day for gardening or other jobs.

> 3 dayWell, the new EPA gas cans on the market with the stupid valves are a prime example of garbage engineering. I tried a few different models, and the valves either stick open or dont open at all. There is no excuse... Then, I discovered the Justrite AccuFlow 5 gallon can. It puts all other gas cans to shame in terms of quality, ease of pouring, and superior engineering. Lesser gas cans cower in fear and humility, and have been recycled. Will probably be returned to market as fidget spinners. Why you need it: Unless youre going for the neighborhood Darwin award, dont skimp on storage containers for flammable and potentially explosive liquids. Step up to a high quality and very safe Justrite Safety Can. You can get them in different colors for storing all of your fuels safely (and not mixing them up). Why I like it: Superior engineered, powder coated, metal safety gas can goodness. The valve opens and closes easily, making for safe pours and no fumes. The nozzle is flexy for better aim into the tank...because no one likes bad aim. The powder coat and metal is thick and sturdy...because no one likes a squishy can.

> 3 dayI have battled the $20 dollar plastic cans for years. I decided to at least try this metal can in a last ditch effort. I honestly am very happy with this has can. It is well built and it truly feels like it will last forever. I don’t want to fill up my plastic cans anymore because I know that they will leak if not already leaking. It just pisses me off. So for now I make extra trips just to fill up this metal one, until I can afford to purchase another 5 gal can. Just really happy I found this.

> 3 dayI bought this some time ago. I wanted to share I forgot it was in the back of my truck, and it rolled around for a week, with about 2 gallons in it, never leaked a drop. I use it for diesel for my tractor, and it so nice to do five gallons and the flexible hose does not get anywhere it is not supposed to. I am buying another for regular gas.

> 3 dayThis gas can is worth the cost. I was sick and tired of over-engineered plastic safety cans with spouts that leaked gasoline everywhere. This can has worked perfectly...it did leak a bit, at one point, until I tightened down the screws against the bracket (nozzle). It has never leaked again. It is heavy and the lid is a bit tricky to hold open when you’re putting a gas dispenser nozzle in (to fill it it)... but it’s well worth it. No more nonsense with plastic fuel cans.
