5 Stars – Superior Quality and Easy to Handle!
I absolutely love the Eagle 5 Gallon Red Safety Gas Can! I’ve used plenty of plastic gas cans in the past, but none of them compare to this one. The build quality is top-notch – it feels solid and durable, and it’s much more stable than the plastic containers I’ve had before. I’ve noticed that it doesn’t flip over in the back of my truck, even when I’m driving on rough roads, which is a huge bonus. The spout that comes with it is fantastic – it’s easy to use, and the design makes pouring a breeze with no spills or mess. Overall, this gas can is a game-changer. It’s worth every penny for anyone who needs a reliable, high-quality fuel container. Highly recommend it!

High quality fuel can, easy to use
This fuel tank has resolved all my issues of gas spillage From filling up at gas station transporting, and adding fuel to equipment. Appears to be of high quality. Store tank off the ground or off any wet area and I bet these would last 50 yrs.

Quality, strong, easy to use gas can that will last for years.
You can have lots of gas, the can is made very well. Obviously it's more expenses that plastic cans. But you won't need to buy another for many years to come. It has a funnel which makes it super easy to pour the gas into your lawnmower with out spilling it on the lawnmower.

Paint on Rubber Seal
These are top tier gas cans. Was introduced to these years ago when I worked for the City. Unfortunately, upon unboxing, I did a quick run over and found paint on the rubber seal. There is a little room for play with the hinged spout lid so the rubber seal can be seated slightly differently each time you open and close the spout. Paint would be blocking the air tight seal in these cases. This seal is one of the few things that takes these Eagle cans over the hill vs the competition. Cheap Chinesium cans don’t have seals like this and to find my quite hefty-priced American can with some sloppy craftsmanship on a key component of fume + odor reduction and leak prevention is a shame. I ended up spending a few minutes gently rubbing the paint off with some remover but I don’t know how I just affected the lifespan of the seal now as it is rubber. A quick search on their website shows they sell one rubber seal for $3.00. Which is ridiculous. I sure hope if the time comes I can figure out a way to replace it with a hardware store rubber washer for less than a couple dozen cents. We are spending too much money for an American assembled product to arrive like this. Still a great can as I’ve seen them take some serious abuse over the years. Happy to now own one myself.

Slower pour, strong hand spring, but tremendous quality can. Replaced all my plastic containers.
This Eagle metal safety can is a significant upgrade from typical red plastic gas carriers, offering superior build quality, durability, and stability. Unlike plastic containers that are prone to tipping over, this can remains upright in the back of a vehicle, even on rough roads due to a wider footprint and lower center of gravity. Its construction and solid seals effectively prevent leaks and the escape of gas fumes during transport. Being metal, you'd think this would be a lot heavier, but it's really not. Five gallons in a container is heavy regardless, and this doesn't feel much different than my plastic containers. The pouring performance is a standout feature. The included plastic funnel allows a smooth, spill-free transfer of fuel into equipment like lawnmowers and generators. While the flow is steady and controlled, it's important to note that as a Type I safety can, it lacks a dedicated air vent. This safety design results in a slower pour compared to non-safety or Type II cans, but it is a massive improvement over the leaky and frustrating "safety nozzles" found on many plastic models. Remember to add some gas treatment if you're planning to store gas for a while. I use ethanal-free gas and a can of Sea Foam with each fill up. There are a few practical considerations. The cap's spring is intentionally strong for safety—to self-close in case of a drop or fire. It does require some hand strength to hold it open, which may be difficult for some older users to operate. Additionally, the tight-fitting funnel must be removed when the can is refilled at the gas station, which can be a minor inconvenience. I took mine off and leave it on a shelf. For those tired of those flimsy, unreliable plastic cans, this Eagle safety can is a worthwhile investment that's built to last for years. Replaced all my plastic containers with these.

Very solid. High Quality
This will be the last gas can you’ll need to buy. Solid construction. Easy to pour. Lid will vent under high pressure. Funnel can fill small engines and your vehicle. Makes me feel better knowing my gas is stored as safely as possible. Just ordered a second one of these.

5 us gallon can
I bought this jug to hold my motorcycle fuel which is a mix of vp race gas and pump fuel and amsoil. This should keep the race fuel and gas fresh all summer. Last fuel in a plastic jug went stale. This is well made and the funnel is nice and easy to remove.
