Justrite Type II Gasoline Safety Can, Red Galvanized Steel, FM Approved

Let me start off by saying JustRite safety fuel cans are not a budget fuel can. With that said, it is one of the best fuel cans on the market. The high quality American made craftsmanship will provide years of reliability. From it's steel construction to the self sealing spill resistant fill/ pour openings to the 10 year warranty.

UPDATE 12/30/2022: Have had this can and a smaller DOT "over-the-road" transport rated can for over 6 years now and I love them. Have had no issues at all. This is a lifetime product. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I, like many people who store gasoline, had used those cheap plastic containers for years and have never felt safe with them. You may have heard the stories about how they can supposedly split under pressure or even explode since they have no spark arrestors in the spout. And the plastic IS porous allowing evaporation into the atmosphere over time. Read the forum comments on the later model C.A.R.B. approved cans. They leak gas when trying to use them and are just hard to use without spills--that doesn't help the environment nor make them safer to use. With the plastic jugs, I just was not comfortable having these things in my attached garage knowing they would truly fuel any fire once the plastic container melted. I had first hand experience with the benefit of a metal container when I received news that my beloved street motorcycle (with a full tank of gas) had burned in a garage fire. When I inspected the charred remains of the frame and engine, to my surprise, the steel gas tank was STILL full of gas! Some of the aluminum pieces on the bike had melted and were laying in solidified puddles below the bike. But the tank was still intact. This had been a hot fire. But NO explosion or further fueling of the fire. Why? I've been told there is very little oxygen in a properly sealed gas container--the other component required for fire (or an explosion). I had done my research looking at various metal gasoline can manufacturer's products and reading user comments. In my opinion, the Justrite safety can seemed to have the edge over its competitors with their safety features. There are the built-in filler and spout flame arrestors, and the AccuFlow feature that allows you to CONTROL the flow into any gas tank with the handle valve. It just seems to have all of the right components for a safety gas can besides being a strong robust container. They are designed to seal and prevent vapor loss, but also safely vent in a fire instead of bursting under the pressure of expanding vapor and fuel. Yes, the cost of this model is three times the price of a plastic can, but what price do you place on safety? When I considered the cost to rebuild a home, or tragically that of a life, the decision was easy for me. They should last for many years and the company offers replacement parts if needed. In practice, a metal can is going to add some additional weight when lifting. Slight folks, beware of this when choosing larger size cans. But on the plus side, it does easily dispense gasoline into my lawnmower and generator without spills (you may see a few drops drain from the spout however). Now when entering the garage I no longer smell gas fumes with these sealed cans. Build quality, materials and craftsmanship seem to be excellent. I can fully recommend the product.

These cans are more expensive than the ones you get at your local stores, but they will last you for many years!!! The plastic safety cans are difficult or awkward to operate and typically break in less than a year. These cans are super easy to use, the spout works extremely well, and the flow handle lets you easily dispense the gas into your equipment. All metal construction will not break. Easy to fill as well. Just lift the spring loaded cap. No hard to unscrew caps. This may be the last gas can you will have to buy in your life. I CAN'T RECOMMEND THESE HIGHLY ENOUGH!!!f

The only can to buy, do not buy plastic this is an OSHA approved can. It will keep the gas stable for a very long time and it does not leak

Love these gas safety cans. Wish I bought two when I bought one 2 years ago. The price went up, like so many other things. However, I just could not buy an lesser quality one. It's an investment in safe gas can that will last!

Good quality product and easy to handle and pour.

Id give it 5 stars but when it showed up one of the screws that goes through the flange to attach the spout was missing. So i paid money for a complete product and got 99 percent of it. Luckily i have immediate access to fasteners and found one to put in it.

I bought so many of these. Not because they fail. Because they work so well. I bought one for dad. For each of my brothers-in-law. I’m going to get more. And everyone who tries it understands this: you can buy 5 plastic cans that you hate and dribble gas and put you at risk of a mower fire and cover your hands in fuel and lose their caps and roll over when you set them down. Or you can buy what feels like an heirloom fuel container and appreciate its heft, convenience, stability, safety, and ease-of-use. No more worrying about plastic can failure, nozzle rings cracking, vent cap tethers failing. You briefly lift the inlet port to remove vapor pressure. You hold the handle and the bottom-rear lip, life and tilt, position the flexible nozzle so you can see everything easily, and then slowly squeeze the handle to allow fuel to trickle out or flow freely or anything in-between.

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.

Buen producto

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

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.

Gas can is great, no dents or damage. Only issue is the screws provided were too short to attach the nozzle through the little gasket. Contacted the company directly and they are sending out the correct screws, said the get screwed up the odd time in packing. Can’t wait to use it when I get the screws, had it for 1.5 weeks now. Update: waited 4 weeks for proper screws to be sent but now that it’s all together I absolutely love this can. Expensive yes but a can for a lifetime for sure. All in all a great buy.
