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.

Poorly designed spout

Would Not Recommend

The green tab makes this one of the slowest pouring gas cans I have ever used. It took twenty minutes to empty five gallons of fuel into my fuel tank. After zip tying the green tab in the flow position and drilling a vent hole in the handle the second can emptied much faster. whomever designed this pouring method never heard the term "If it ain't broke don't fix it". The spout mount is undersized so I could not even mount an older model spout to the can. Do not waste your money on this one.

Expensive

Would Not Recommend

Nice gas can, but I should have checked the "other" home improvement store first. It was half the price there.

Buy now pay later option

I tried to use the buy now pay later option but store employees in customer service were not able to assist me because they were not trained on how to use the program.
