What Customers Are Saying

The kerosene can has several design issues that make it difficult to use. The spout/nozzle is poorly designed, making it very hard to pour the kerosene. The can has multiple complicated safety features that impede ease of use. Customers report the spout is hard to unlock, the bottom is difficult to grip, and the need to push down on the spout while pouring. Some customers also experienced leaks or spills, which is a safety concern. Overall, the consensus is that this kerosene can is not user-friendly and not recommended.

Read directions carefully

The operation of the spout is a bit tricky. Read the directions carefully.

Not bad

Is not a bad product. The only thing is that you have to actually press at the nozzle to release the pressure build up on the can. As the other can that have a small valve on it to release the gasses.

Safety spout

Would Recommend

The theory behind the safety spout is good but actual use is rather difficult. I sometimes spill more fuel trying to get the spout to flow than if it just had an open spout.

Kerosene jug

Would Recommend

It holds kerosene I don’t know what else to say about it. I don’t use the included spigot so I can’t comment on it.

Expensive for what it is

It works, no real complaints other than its a little expensive for what it is.

Old style pour

Would Recommend

I like this can because it has the old style pour spout. The new safety ones don’t work as nicely as the old style.
