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 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.

Now this is a gas can. What other positive reviewers have all said is all 100% true. I have been through MANY types of cans over the years. At first I thought all was available in the current market were cheap plastic ones that last maybe a couple of years (and also can expand/contract throughout the seaons causing them to annoyingly collapse or swell if not full which can be dangerous)... Not this can! The last one Ive seen like this was my grandfathers, which is still functional today. Yes its more expensive than the plastic alternative but absolutely worth the price. I highly recommend!

I buy my 2 cycle fuel in 5 gal cans which have made refilling my weed whacker and other 2 cycle implements difficult to do without spills. This safety can is a dream to use. Much better than those fiddly-diddly plastic 2 cycle cans. Not sure why Amazon wanted me to rate a gas can on Maneuverability and Thickness but I gave it 5 stars for those qualities too just because I like this gas can so much. Not paid for this review nor did I receive the item for free.

I’ll put them to the test

Like the rest of you, I just want a gas can that works: a can that doesnt leak (fumes or liquid), but that I can actually pour gas out of. Ive only had this can for a week, but it blows away every other gas can Ive ever owned. Should a gas can cost over $80? I dont know, but Ive spent a lot more than that over the years on garbage gas cans that dont work and on garbage replacement spouts that dont work. Buy this now, throw away all those plastic Blitz and Sceptre cans and spouts that youve mixed and matched over the years, and never look back.

Im reviewing this gas can as it compares to standard plastic CA compliant cans that are available at auto parts stores and home improvement centers. Compared to those plastic cans, this can is an absulute 5 star product. Firstly, you do have to assemble the hose on the can with a gasket and two screws. I used gasket sealer on the gasket and firmly tightened, but not OVER tightened, the screws. The gasket can smash too much and crack/tear, so dont over tighten the screws. Filling at the gas station was very easy. Just pop the fill cap and off you go. I had the can in the trunk of my car and didnt smell any gas when I got home. I used the can to add gas to my truck, and it worked great. Not a drop was spilled on the can emptied quickly. One note: In order to get all the gas out of the can, you eventually have to turn it upside down. Dont do this too early though, because the weight of the remaining fuel will open the fill cap and you will spill. Once the fuel level gets low enough it cant force the cap open and you can then fully empty the can. The can is nice and sturdy and looks good. The lever to open the valve is sturdy and easy to use.

Even bore the new EPA spouts on plastic cans I wasnt a fan. I used steel cans at work in college and always preferred them but felt I couldnt afford the price. Now between a snowblower and zero-turn mower I use about 3 gallons of gas a week and was sick of my plastic cans leaking (old style) or pouring slowly (new style). Plus, with a small child Ive become more safety conscious. Steel cans are less likely to by knocked over, leak less when knocked over, have spark arrestors and are safer when exposed to heat. Plus, theyre just a pleasure to use with the flexible spout and the squeeze-to-open feature. I wish Id bought one 15 years ago.

I had one of the plastic 5 gallon gas cans for several years but it was such a pain in the butt when pouring gas. You had to pull on a button in order to push down on the handle to release the gas. I got fed up with it and bought this metal gas can. I should have bought this a long time ago. It is so easy to use and pour gas. While it costs more it is worth it. Best thing Ive bought in a while!

This is an excellent and safe storage can. It is well built and all metal. As required by the Type II standards it has one opening (spout) for pouring and one for filling. This relives you from the chore of unscrewing a spout (often with loose parts) in order to fill it or pour used fuel back in. I use mine to store gas/oil mix for my weed trimmer. It works well and the squeeze trigger lets me easily fill the small tank on the trimmer without rick of overflows. The squeeze trigger gives you fine control of the flow - this is pretty amazing for a gas can and is a big big safety feature. The fill opening has a VERY strong spring on it (good for safety in a fire situation) and it can be a bit of a chore to hold that open when wrangling the trimmer to pour unused gas back into the can. I need to get a funnel which might make this easier. Filling the can at the gas station is not difficult and the stiff spring is not a problem. There is a small amount of assembly required to mount the spout to the body of the can. Follow the instructions and you wont have any trouble. Another big plus is the 10 year warranty on this can. Yes there are cheaper cans out there, but not better ones. I keep the can outside, away from my house in a large plastic bin to protect it from the weather. Please, NEVER keep gas inside your house or garage. Its just too dangerous and you just cant know what might happen to that can when you are not around. An old boss of mine lost her home to fire when gas spilled in the garage and was ignited by the water heater. A bicycle fell and overturned the gas can which slowly leaked.

I have a collection of plastic, metal, new Jerry Can, new and old .. a fleet of gas cans; The worst of my collection is a JUSTRITE 5gal metal can that has a plastic yellow funnel (JUSTRITE and EAGLE both sell this) - man that is a clumsy pour - but great for storing gas because it is air tight and mostly safe (until you decide to pour from it). Pouring from a heavy metal 5 gallon can is clumsy and you will spill; the funnel spout is rigid so you cannot waver or move a bit as you pour, this is two bad points about the funnel - I absolutely cannot pour from it - it is dangerous; I have challenged a number of friend and family to pour from the funnel-can; yes, it stores gas very very well - especially with STABIL added; The best of my collection is this can; I own two of them, one is 2.5 gallons, and one is 5 gallons; the valve mechanism and the flexible spout are stellar. Five gallons of gas is heavy and clumsy - but this can makes storing and pouring (both) perfectly safe and easy. I keep non-ethanol fuel in these metal cans for hurricane weather. The flapper cap/valve is perfect for this and keeps moisture-laden air out of contact with the fuel; as a result, the fuel can be kept for a year or more very easily. Easily worth every penny - the JUSTRITE 7250130 - I plan to buy several more. If you need to own just one can, this is it; The 2.5 gallon can may be ideal too if you run a few two-cycle (oil/gas) machines.
