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.

Worthless design

Would Not Recommend

This is the most poorly designed device of any kind I've ever purchased. You can only put gas in the can and can't get any back out. When you try to pour that gas out you end up spilling or leaking most of the gas all over the ground and yourself. And don'tg even think you are going to transfer gas from this can into a vehicle - it is physically impossible. It's basically worthless as a gas container. If you are stuck with one of these you can get replacement spouts that actually work at www.gas...

Slow and leaks, buy a different nozzle

Would Not Recommend

Bought this despite the terrible reviews because it was all Lowes had. Terrible design and very difficult to use. Poured gas so slowly and dripped and leaked everywhere over car and clothes. Also very heavy because one hand needs to be pushing in the top while the other hand supports the whole weight of the container. I found a new generic nozzle on a different website and now to pours great. Not a single drop lost.

collapsed

Would Not Recommend

This can collapse in on itself. I had about 1 gl left in it went back to my barn to top off a mower, and saw it had collapsed. It is not a good design. Save time and money, buy a different can.

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.
