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.

Difficult Nozzle

Would Not Recommend

The safety nozzle was very hard to use. When trying to fill the canister, the inside mesh prevents fuel from entering at a fast rate. So you have to slowly fill it with gas. When operating the safety handle, it took two hands to get the button pushed, and then to lift and tilt the can felt like an act of exceptional coordination. And, it leaked at the base of the nozzle as well. I regretted purchasing it.

Government intervention with poor results

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this fuel can during an emergency back in January 2025. I had. frozen pipes and had no choice. I see that they put a side handle on it now but prior to there wasn’t any but a place on the bottom for a finger hold. A fifth grader could have designed a better fuel can than this one. It is nearly impossible to hold the can and apply the necessary pressure to the release valve to put any amount of fuel in the tank you’re trying to fill. Before you the consumer makes a decision to purchas...

Can't get all the safety features to unlock to actually pour, so you have to pour without the top. Also very awkward to pour. No back vent so has a very uneven flow
