NO SPILLS!

I live in Colorado and camp with my family in the mountains (often at 10,000+ ft). Before purchasing three of these containers to transport gas I was use to the smell of gas and spilled fuel once we reached our campsite. These tanks are great at containing the gas smell and spills. I can now transport fuel to refill my truck's tank and our camp generator without having to air out my pickup bed (and attached camper shell) upon arrival. I have read some complaints about the difficulty of holding the spring loaded handle/spout open during the filling or pouring process. To that I say, "suck it up buttercup!" The tight seal that prevents spilling is necessary to contain the fuel and prevent fumes and spills. The small amount of energy needed to hold the handle/spout open is offset by the loss of fuel that the cheaper plastic containers constantly allow. FYI- the Justrite 7150300 model and 7150100 model are identical except for color. Buy these if you're tired of leaking fuel. The SAFE and odor-free result is worth the additional cost! Enjoy!

Arrived totally perfect without damage and very solid.

I have the flex filler version of this, but I just need another can for long storage of fuel. At $35, I don't see how you can justify *not* getting one of these. Robust, should last a lifetime, and solid. I would get ethanol free gas for it and stay away from the tank-destroying ethanol if you want this to hold up. There's one handle on it, and the lifting doesn't interfere with the opening. You would literally have to make a point to open it while lifting. Mine arrived direct from the vendor and was in perfect shape. Not a ding, dent, or scratch on it. Seals quite tightly. Holds 5.1 gallons up to the bottom of the spark arrester neck. If I fill it in warm weather and open it in cold weather, you get this "Pshhhh" sound like opening a coffee tin, so I know it's airtight. Keep it topped up to reduce headspace (reduces oxygen degradation of fuel) Use a proper fuel stabilizer. Fill with ethanol-free gasoline. Write the fill date on the can and rotate every 12 months. That's what I do for my small generator.

Just what I wanted

This is a real gas can. I have the plastic ones with the special spouts that don't work or require two hands just to pour from them. The plastic ones dry crack in the summer heat, they tip over easy, especially when being transported for a fill up. You have to fight with the plastic spouts to get them on and off. This can can't be beat, it won't tip over, seals tightly and is super easy to open and close. I use a fuel transfer pump to gas up my equipment and the lid on this one holds the transfer pump shaft for me so I only need one hand to fuel equipment. I will be replacing all the over priced plastic junk with these.

The 2 gallon size is perfect for mixed gas or a small lawnmower.

One guy said in a previous review , they all come dented or dinged. I have bought two Justrite cans recently and that was not the case. Perfect right of the box. They are so much better than plastic cans , metal cans last a lifetime and do not swell up and leak gas in this Florida heat. I don't particularly care for the new Eagle cans only because they started putting nylon handles on them. Thanks Justrite for a well made USA product.

Solid

This is the closest I could find to a good old fashioned, dangerous (in somebody's opinion) gas can. Mine arrived with no dings and dents and it doesn't leak. The spring in the handle is pretty stiff. I sure do miss the old time gas cans. Luckily I still have a couple and I hope they'll last the rest of my life. The new safety type cans are crap. Obviously somebody at EPA or OSHA or whatever ran out of things to do so they invented the new safety cans. Aren't we lucky!

Excellent can, Made in USA

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 (

Great to be able to safely pour gas as fast a I want!

I bought 12 of these and the locking safety cabinets to store them in away from my garage. I read another review that said they don't have a seal. Well they do! The lid has a layer of cork that creates the vapor seal. Great product. Used them at a government facility 40 years ago. They are as safe now as they were then. Waiting for Armageddon.......... Although, I recently heard that Vodka is better than gasoline. Much easier to barter with Vodka. I am guessing that Jack Daniels would be just as good.

The only cans you should ever buy!

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.

A USA made, quality safe gas can at a reasonable price without lousy emission controls!

The can is very solid and made in USA. Had a couple for over 20 years and the new ones seem to be just as good. The Justrite folding plastic spout is highly overpriced (HEY JUSTRITE, GET REAL, ITS A PLASTIC SPOUT). Taking a cue from another review I bought a Eagle plastic spout, put a V cut in it and slid it over the Justrite neck. Works great for 1/4th the price

Great for a fast fill

I use this to fill my zero turn mower which takes 5 gallons. Filling the container is a breeze when you pull the handle back all the way and the handle does float to the upright position for carrying without the lid opening up. When dispensing from the container, you have to be very careful because it will flow very quickly and you want there to be a large mouth on the container you're filling. Overall, I'm very happy with this container given the other options out there; they're pretty much junk.
