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.

Leaks and extremely slow flow

Would Not Recommend

You get what you pay for with these. I wouldn't buy them again. Better off spending more for the metal Eagle cans. These are cheap and good for emergency gas storage but using the gas in them is frustrating and you'll end up with gas all over the place and your hands as it leaks through the cap and nozzle.

It takes forever to fill a gas tank.

I don’t like the “Safety” nozzles.

Spout is great!

Would Recommend

Easy to use. The spout is nice because it keeps a tight seal and ensures gas does not spill.

Slow to pour, slow to fill, handle is difficult

Would Not Recommend

The handle is difficult (way too stiff). My wife was unable to use the can for more than about a minute because of the handle. It's too slow too pour. It's too slow to fill.

This can is garbage!

Would Not Recommend

Only good thing about this can is it does hold gas. Getting it out successfully not so much. Nozzle is too short, valve leaks for than it flows, spills gas everywhere. Zero stars! Do not buy!

Not for cars

Would Not Recommend

This does not work well to put gas in a car and may not be intended for that, but it wasn't marked that way

Child-proof spout is like 90-year old man peeing

Would Not Recommend

I don't understand what the purpose is for the self closing spout. When fully open it takes about 15 minutes tou empty 15 gallons and it leaks near the release button.
