Type I Gasoline Safety Can, Red Galvanized Steel, Made in the USA | Flammable Liquid Storage Can, Self-Closing Lid, 5 Gallon Capacity, Flame Arrester, FM Approved, OSHA, NFPA Compliant

I already had a five gallon gas can from Justrite, and I love it. These cans are well built and have a strong spring holding the filler cap tight to the base, so no gas spills or splashes out until you pull back on the handle/lever. Also, being made of metal, the gasoline is kept more pure for a much longer time than it does in plastic cans. They cost more, of course, but it is obvious the difference between the two types. I tend to use a lot of gasoline here on our property, which consists of 87 acres, although I maintain only a few of those acres as though they were lawns. It's just that the time inbetween cuttings can be a couple of weeks out in the fields, so the gas will sit for a while. I believe that it's always a good idea to use the additives to protect the gas, but to also use metal containers for even better, longer protection from volatility loss. I got this one gallon model in green for my 2 cycle mix, so it won't be confused with other 1 gallon cans I have. Because I already have experience with the Justrite cans, I had no problem ordering another from that company. I didn't get the model with the funnel because I already have one on the larger can, and I can switch them whenever I want. Like I said, the construction is great, feeling like pure quality right from the package. Some have mentioned that the funnel setup, which you can buy sperately or which comes with these cans by selection, will allow some gas drippage, which it will if your funnel is set at an angle tilted towards the can itself. I avoid this by keeping the funnel upright before tilting the can and prying open the cap. It's all a matter of pouring straight down into the funnel. A full five-gallon can is a bit heavy, so it's not always easy to hold one up while keeping the funnel upright, especially for many women, so I would suggest smaller cans for those who have problems in this way. In conclusion, I would say that if you're looking for a solid gas can that will keep gas relatively potent for a longer time, and that will not leak while being jostled in a vehicle, I would suggest the Justrite cans of any size. Most of us use gas cans rather regularly, so the extra cost for something you won't need to buy again for a long time might be well worth whatever extra you pay.

If you want an excellent can that is still made in the USA, this is your can. It has a deep stainless mesh anti-flashback screen that allows you to fully insert the fuel nozzle without any issues. The spring on the lid keeps it tight enough that I can add fuel treatment after it's full and give it a good shake without any fears of even a drop leaking out. Yet the lever is not too stiff to make it easy to hold open. The handle is hinged so that you can maintain the same grip to keep the lid open while you pour - important for filling a big tank, a tank that's high up, or for when the can is getting empty. It's also nice as you carry the can - it hangs naturally from your arm/hand. And, in case you're not used to using metal cans, it levels the can as you set it down, so it reduces the chance of denting the lower rim as you set it down on asphalt or concrete surfaces. Like the others who have compared the Justrite cans to the Eagle cans, I sided with Justrite on the basis that the can just seemed like a better design. I purchased three cans in total - this one for my diesel tractor, and two smaller red ones with gooseneck spouts for my gas and gas-oil mix equipment. This one is Made in USA, and states so clearly on the box and can. The two gooseneck cans ( Justrite 7225130 AccuFlow 2.5 Gallon, 11.75" OD x 12" H Galvanized Steel Type II Blue Safety Can With 1" Flexible Spout and Justrite 7210120 AccuFlow 1 Gallon, Galvanized Steel Type II Red Safety Can With 5/8" Flexible Spout - both are red, despite their descriptions, by the way) are made in China, also clearly marked on the boxes and cans. I don't know if the lower capacity cans are made in China, or if it's the ones with the gooseneck pouring spouts. I decided that the design of the cans was good enough to forgo the country of origin, although I hope that Justrite is listening when I say that I would have gladly paid the extra cost of having this can made in the USA! If you've read this far, you probably have already decided that a perfectly sealed metal can is the better choice compared to plastic cans that have pouring issues, odor issues (this can has spent many trips from the gas station inside my minivan without the slightest hint of fuel odor escaping), or whose cap always seems to get lost or chewed by mice. My final plug for any can that is perfectly sealed is that your fuel will be less likely to degrade or become contaminated with dust, etc. and any CARB-compliant container will do the trick. As you would expect, this can is in fact CARB compliant. ...and in case you didn't know, the accepted standard color for diesel fuel cans is yellow. If you want one of these cans for gas, save yourself any embarrassment and get it in red instead: Justrite 7250120 AccuFlow 5 Gallon, 11.75" OD x 17.50" H Galvanized Steel Type II Red Safety Can With 5/8" Flexible Spout

We live in rural Hawaii on a small coffee farm. Buying gas at Costco saves us about 90 cents per gallon, so we try to store a reasonable amount of gasoline here for emergencies and for all the small equipment engines we run. I wanted to buy two new metal cans to replace some plastic ones which were leaking. This was the first of these I bought, but it will not be last. It is made well of durable material. Nothing complicated, just pull the handle and pour. They do not leak and they do not seem to vent much or at all. The seal seems to be cork, so once that gets wetted, it seals reliably and well. At first I thought they were not 5 gallon, as they are taller and thinner than others I own, but sure enough, they hold 5 gallons.

Purchased 1 of these, & it arrived undamaged. While I expected it to be a heavier guage metal ( I was recalling a Galvinised Gas Can Our Grandad had when growing up) this just wasn't what I wanted. It look's to be a well made Can with good features, but it looks like it would be difficult to actually pour the Gas out w/o making a mess. They do have a Funnel for them that You can purchase separately, but at this price point it looks like it should be included w/the Can w/o having to purchase separately- IMO. I would say the Guage of this is isn't too much thicker than an average Can for Gas You could purchase at any Store that sells them, so due to value versus what You are getting for the price paid We returned the Item. No shade on the Manufacturer, as stated it appears to be a well made Can. Best, PawPaw C

I've got 5 or 6 plastic gas cans in various sizes, but when I needed a yellow one for my new Diesel tractor I decided to get a good one. It seems no one makes a decent plastic can (and I mean cap/spout arrangement) for fuel anymore; the laws have dictated the new fume-less designs but ironically all the plastic cans I have seen have leakage problems, whether transporting or pouring--this is no good at all! Anyway I bought this one from Amazon and couldn't be happier with it--so happy I am going to replace my crummy red plastic gas cans with Justrite red, and get another yellow one so I have an extra one for when I have those big projects. Apart from the obvious high quality of these, the construction and the paint, the primary plus that I see is in the spring-loaded handle/cap design, which assures there is NO SPILLAGE whatsoever when the lever is released and the cap is closed. No worries for transportation; no possible leakage into your trunk or truck bed, or back seat I suppose. Yeah they're expensive by comparison to plastic, but for some things in life you've just gotta do it right and Justrite has the answer(s) for portable fuel containers.

When you live in the country, or the suburbs for that matter, you have need of a gas can-- for the lawnmower, chainsaw, etc. The plastic ones you are likely to encounter in your local big-box or hardware store have evolved a bit over the years, and not for the better. "Safety" concerns have given us nozzles that require more agility than I have to pour, twist and push at the same time. I am about twice as likely to spill gas using one of these--where is the safety advantage? Also, prices have gone up to the point where the typical plastic 2.5 gallon gas jug will set you back $20, and then again when you have to buy another one because the nozzle broke..... I saw these Just Rite galvanized cans here on Amazon, and the price was pretty good, especially for what it turns out is a lifetime investment. This thing works so well, and easily, and is so well designed-- my sister-in-law thought it belonged in the kitchen, on display, instead of in the garage! I bought 2 sizes and am totally pleased. Can I gave it more stars?????

These are far superior to the cheap plastic gas cans. Not much more expensive and will last a lifetime.

Very happy with the 2 gallon can. Many reviews stated their gas cans arrived dented. Mine came in perfect shape. The “rust” on the screen flame arrester mentioned in many reviews is not rust. The screen is a darker color in places due to brazing it together. A good tight seal on the spout helps quell that awful feeling of driving home from the gas station with a full can of gas inside your vehicle.

Produit dispendieux mais de qualité, très satisfait

Very good quality gas can and happy with my purchase. If you don’t like using separate fuel funnels, then get the funnel attachment. It does make life easier for pouring.

Good Product

Well built, paint looks great, and clever (metal) handle device that opens the cap "automatically" while pouring. Highly recommended over a plastic fuel can.
