What Customers Are Saying

The gas can has a problematic spout design that makes it difficult to use. The spout is overly complicated with a spring-loaded mechanism that is hard to operate, often resulting in spills and leaks. The rigid and angled spout is challenging to position properly when pouring, leading to more spills. The lack of a separate air vent restricts the gas flow, causing sputtering and splashing. The heavy weight and single top handle also make the can awkward to hold and pour from. While the can itself is well-made and durable, the flawed spout design renders it essentially unusable for its intended purpose.

Gas can

Would Not Recommend

Gas can is okay. The non spill spout is flimsy. You have to put the “ non spill spout “ in, hook it on your item, apply some pressure to get gas. Only problem is that the spout gasket pops off and causes a big spill. I bought a regular spout for it.

terrible

Would Not Recommend

these things are junk thanks to federal regulations. I cut off the tab u have to press so the slide will open the nozzle flow. You get a cheezy nozzle cap that will not stay on so go to plumbing and get a 1/2 inch pvc cap that fits perfectly.

We do not recommend altering your can or spout in ANY WAY; doing so will void the 1-year

Felt like an arsonist using this can

I miss old cans. I hardly ever spilled any gas. This has a double-engagement system to "prevent" spillage, but produced the opposite. It is decent for a car I guess that is designed to catch the spout release, but not with a lawnmower. Half my gas was over me, my lawnmower, and my yard. Tried with two people: one pouring, the other engaging the safety features. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Bad Gasket

Would Not Recommend

Do not buy the gas can. You cannot return it if the gasket fails. The gasket split after the second fill but since fuel has gone through it, Lowes will not take it back. They our on clearance right now. Bet it is on sale to get rid of this bad product.

Just a gas can

Would Recommend

Serves the purpose but not a fan of the newer style cans. The spout wants to leak unless it is on just right. I figured this going in though. Was a good price for a 5 gallon can. Will use it to store gas and then transfer it to my "old" style 2.5 gallon can when I need to add it to the mower for less mess.

Easier to use than most.

Would Recommend

Most of these safety cans are hard to use. This one is easy to regulate the flow without spilling gasoline everywhere.

Gas can

The new smart flow cans are a pain but it holds gas and fills my mower so it works.

Large Capacity

This item was on clearance for about $10 which is about half the price of other tanks of this capacity. For the price it cannot be beat.
