Customer Reviews

I purchased this gas can because I was looking for a high quality metal gas can with the safety features not found on the cheaper plastic containers. I also wanted one that I could handle fairly well when full.
This can has the safety features I was looking for in that it is self venting. When heat builds up around the can (in your garage, in the sun, etc.) and the gas expands, the self venting fill port will automatically open slightly and close after it relieves the pressure built up inside the can. (spring loaded)
The can is excellent, however, I gave it a 4 star because when you fully fill the can, the fill/vent port will leak gas out when tilted over if the can is filled to the top. This is because the fill valve safety bar is brought back to open the fill line when filling a gas tank or equipment and opens the vent port automatically, all at the same time for safety.
The first time I filled the can, I filled it to the top. You should not do this as this will cause the gas to run out the fill/vent port and all over you and anything below the can. Since then, I fill it up with about 4.5 gallons or less. It does come with a longer than normal fill line to help reduce tilt on the can.
Overall, I would recommend this can to anyone. A little precaution to place about 4 to 4.5 gallons in lieu of a full 5 gallons and it's perfect for filling with the extended fill line and self venting port. If it's quality and safety you want, this is the can to buy. It's a little pricey, but well worth the comfort of knowing it's safe to store in the garage or shed.

I love this gas can. It is my new favorite. I am in the lawn business, so i use alot of gas cans. This one is by far the best. The nozzle angles as you need it. When you pull the valve to open it also opens the vent, so the gas pours very fast if you want it. There is no chugging for air like other gas cans, witch make it pour really slow if there is no vent. You will be happy with this purchase.
