What Customers Are Saying

The product has a mixed reception. Some customers appreciate its sturdy construction, large capacity, and safety features, while many others find the complicated pouring mechanism extremely difficult to use. The main complaints are that the spout is awkward and hard to operate, requiring two hands, and the built-in filter restricts the flow rate, causing the gas pump to shut off prematurely. Several customers also reported significant leakage and spills around the spout. Overall, the consensus is that the product sacrifices usability and convenience in the name of safety features, and many customers recommend finding a simpler gas can design.

Salespeople are very helpful.

Would Recommend

Salesperson was very helpful. At first he said they were sold out on 5 gallon cans Then about 10 minutes later he found us and said someone had returned four 5 gallon cans and we could buy one.

Just too hard and complicated

Would Not Recommend

Nozzle is too complicated and hard to release to allow gas to pour and hard on your hands. Screw in local NG mechanism of nozzle is flimsy and doesn’t feel secure. Can itself is hard to hold up and get nozzle into whatever you’re pouring gas into. Seems overpriced as well.
