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.

Perfect service

W Nashville did not have the product. They helped me purchase on online at the Hendersonville store. It took 45 mins to drive there. All items were ready. The store made everything go smooth.

Not designed well

This is the most difficult gas can I've ever owned. It's too difficult for any senior citizen or person with diminished strenght.

The gasoline can was also very affordable.

I like how the nozzle is easy to use and how it doesn't waste the fuel.

5 gallon portable gas tank

good products for the money. I appreciate the two position handles. Don't like the laws of the new safety valves but many people don't. This one is considerably easy to use.
