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

This can was purchased to replace an old plastic can. It arrived very quickly and was undamaged. It required attachment of the flexible metal fuel hose using furnished gasket and two screws. I’m using the can for my two stroke lawn equipment. It has a lid for fueling the can that is held closed by a very strong spring. Adding gasoline at the station was a small challenge (in WA) as one has to hold open the filler cap, insert the fueling nozzle, release the cap, pull the nozzle vapor capture bellows back to active the nozzle and then begin fueling. Its harder to do than my old can but the vastly improved safety this can will provide is well worth the effort. As others have mentioned the can appears to be built like a tank. With a little bit of care it could very well be the last small gas can I ever have to purchase. Dispensing fuel into my equipment is a breeze using the handle valve. If the cost doesn’t bother you the can will not disappoint.

These cans while expensive are so much better than plastic home center cans. They don’t leak and control gas flow with the valve. Most importantly they don’t have some cheap plastic safety mechanism that somehow always squirts gas out of the mechanism all over you (for safety of course, seriously 3 different plastic cans have done this to me one of which I just accepted before I found these cans and got regular gasoline baths for a year)

I 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.

no issues

I had several plastic fuel cans sitting on shelves in my garage. My wife was concerned about possible fire hazard. So I got rid of those plastic fuel containers and in their place bought two 5 gal Diesel cans and a 2.5 Gal can for gas used in my power washer. Justrite makes Level 1 and Level II Safety fuels cans. These can DO NOT allow any leakage regardless if its accidentally tipped over, nor will it allow any fumes to escape. The cap is spring loaded that is really strong and has super seal gaskets, the nozzle is deigned to allow any remaining liquid to flow back into the can when finished and once you release the flow handle, a valve shuts off preventing any leakage, fumes or spilling. The cans are constructed with Galvanized Steel.

Dont spend anymore money on a plastic gas jug, wish I wouldve had this jug a long time ago....

Very good diesel can, but a bit pricy!

So I wanted a big metal can because Im tired of plastic cans and the ridiculous safety mechanisms on those cans. This can holds 5 gallons, and the dispenser ergonomics are the best out there. The problem is that over a couple of months, the top started leaking at the nozzle where its connected... so the entire nozzle gets gas on it on the outside. I had to rubber-band a paper towel to the outside of the connection point of the nozzle to keep gas from dripping. Other than that, the can is great. It does not leak elsewhere, and pouring gas is easy with the handle and flow handle combo. The bendable tip is great for not spilling gas into a car, 4-wheeler, or even if distributed in other smaller gas cans. I would still buy with the leak I have, but I really wish it didnt leak the way it does.

Arrived 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!

Good size, sturdy and arrived on time.
