Justrite 5 Gallon Type II Red Safety Gas Can for Gasoline with Flame Arrester, Self-Closing Lid, and 1" Flexible Metal Spout, Made in the USA, Galvanized Steel Flammable Storage Can, 7250130

Gas cans have been pretty terrible ever since the EPA got involved. I have wasted more gas from the "new and improved" EPA cans that regularly dribble and leak when filling up the lawnmower than I ever lost from my old boyhood lawnmowing metal gas can that had an open spout that vented straight into the air. And THIS particular gas can bests them all. It is incredibly sturdy, and very easy to use. No more fiddling with plastic caps that cut your fingers and never fully open nor close, or with spouts that force you to hold the can in awkward positions in order to pour the fuel. The one-hand operated, spring-loaded cap, along with the flexible spout, makes this an absolute breeze to vent and to pour. It fills *very* fast, and yet it is so easy control that I haven't wasted a drop since buying it. After my second use of this can, I loaded up my collection of plastic gas cans and took them to the dump.

Excellent fuel can, no vapor release or spills when pouring. Pours very well! Store fuel with confidence.

I'm reviewing this gas can as it compares to standard plastic CA compliant cans that are available at auto parts stores and home improvement centers. Compared to those plastic cans, this can is an absulute 5 star product. Firstly, you do have to assemble the hose on the can with a gasket and two screws. I used gasket sealer on the gasket and firmly tightened, but not OVER tightened, the screws. The gasket can smash too much and crack/tear, so don't over tighten the screws. Filling at the gas station was very easy. Just pop the fill cap and off you go. I had the can in the trunk of my car and didn't smell any gas when I got home. I used the can to add gas to my truck, and it worked great. Not a drop was spilled on the can emptied quickly. One note: In order to get all the gas out of the can, you eventually have to turn it "upside down". Don't do this too early though, because the weight of the remaining fuel will open the fill cap and you will spill. Once the fuel level gets low enough it can't force the cap open and you can then fully empty the can. The can is nice and sturdy and looks good. The lever to open the valve is sturdy and easy to use.

I’ve had this container for a few weeks and used it for the first time today. It was very stable on the ground at the gas pumps and in the back of my SUV on the short drive home. The real test came when I transferred three gallons to a smaller can. The flow control handle worked like an absolute dream. It was easy to monitor the flow from a slight trickle to max volume. When I let go, it shut off immediately. The spout is solidly built and easy to bend to fit your needs. I’d like to see a spout cap offered. This is a vast improvement over the atrocious “safety” cans available at the big chain stores. The price is a little shocking but the quality is well worth it. Very highly recommended.

Imo, this is the best gas can on the market. And it is priced accordingly. This can is old-school and it works. I have a can both for gasoline and for diesel. They both work perfectly and do not spill fuel everywhere when using them. Because you have full control, you can stop the flow of gas easily. I also have had the plastic (Government-engineered monstrosities) and they are ALL a joke. This is the fault of our Nanny State. Their rules are not only abusive, they are stupid because they cause the very problem they are designed to correct. I believe these Justrite cans would be ⅓ to ½ the price if they had real competition in a truly free market. But they do cost more to make than the cheap cans sold most places. If you want a real gas can that will last a lifetime, not spill gas all over you and your lawn mower, and not hurt your hands to use, get one of these. They're pricy, but worth it.

After struggling with the 5 gallon Gott fuel cans for years I saw a Surecan one day and bought it. A big improvement and I thought that you couldn't do any better. The Surecan is good but if I had purchased a Justrite first I don't think I would have been looking for anything better. This can is great. Like everyone says, you can put it inside the vehicle and not detect any smell. Hold it upside down and no leaks, although if you dispense fuel while it is in the upside down position you will get a slight leak. The Gott fuel can could start leaking just sitting there and always smelled of fuel. I have never had a fuel can that you could dispense fuel from so easily and accurately. The Gott seemed to be designed to spill fuel, the Surecan seemed to be either on or off, but this can lets you control the flow so much better. I did add some "Edge Trim Black Large, 1/4" Fits Edge (10 Feet Length)" to the bottom of the can. Didn't like the sound or idea of the can sliding on a hard surface. Also added a silicon plug to the spout to prevent dirt getting into the nozzle when not in use. I liked this can well enough I know have two.

This is a wonderful storage can. Easy Fill. Easy Dispense. Absolutely leakproof. The blowback screen is quite easy to remove if you choose to do so for maintenance -- it lifts straight out with no tools required. However, the product ships with the wrong nozzle mounting screws. These screws are used to attach the nozzle assembly to the main unit. The flange on the main unit has holes that are tapped. The screws that are supplied have the wrong thread pitch and will destroy the existing threads in the flange. You can try threading the supplied screws into the flange by hand to confirm if you happen to have the correct screws. If not, you need to call Justright Customer Service and request new screws, or use the chat feature on their website. They seem to know about this problem and are more than happy to mail out replacement screws at no charge. The only bad thing is that it takes almost a week to receive the new screws, so that adds an extra delay before you can begin using it.

This gas can is much better than typical plastic gas cans as far as safety, ease of use, and accurately dispensing the gas. I have had this for 2.5 years, and it has worked great. One thing to note (this is also mentioned in the answered questions), is that this particular model (Justrite 7250130) comes with a 1" diameter hose. That will NOT fit in a standard car gasoline filler spout. If you want to be able to fill up a car with this, get the Justrite 7250120 can, which is the same can with a 5/8" diameter hose. You can also get the Justrite 11078 hose and swap it for the 1" hose that comes on this model. That said, with the 5/8" hose, this works great for filling up a car. Most plastic gas cans come with a short nozzle, and you can't get it all the way down into the opening to fill up a car. So, to do that, you have to get a funnel in addition to the can. With this can (and the 5/8" hose!) you can get all the way down into the opening to fill up the car.

Best fuel can I have found on the market. Pros: They just work great. All metal construction, good paint, and fantastic valves that can accurately release fuel at the speed you want - from a trickle to wide open. They do not tip, and are just a quality gas can! Hard to find good quality gas cans, but Justrite still makes them! Con: The fill port is spring loaded with a fairly strong spring and does not have a lock open feature for filling. Not a deal breaker, but a little inconvenient if filling from anything other than a metal dispenser nozel.

Buen producto

Caro pero de muy buena calidad y funcional para almacenar y transportar combustible

I was able to get a great price of $126 Canadian for the 5gal Type II with 1" hose. If you haven't tried these gas cans they are amazing and well worth the prize. With the traditional 5 gal plastic jug you end up pulling the spout out of the gas to position it for top pouring. As usually the spout will drip gas and leak around the funnel. With these gas cans you don't get your hands dirty. Simple tilt, insert and squeeze the handle. No over flow issues as you can release the handle as the tank fills. This is the 3rd one I have purchased to replace all my plastic jugs. These cans don't travel in the back of a pick up, they sit in my garage and are used to fill up the ski boat and lawn tractor. They are clean and easy to use.

Great quality - soo much better then the plastic alternatives.
