Justrite 5 Gallon Red AccuFlow Galvanized Steel Type II Vented Safety Can With Stainless Steel Flame Arrester And 1 Metal Hose (For Flammable Liquids)

I didnt want to really spend the money for this can but I was tired of having problems with the plastic containers. I bought a plastic container recently and I had to move a small lever and then hold down another one to pour the gas. It was supposed to lock in place but broke the first time I used it. Since I put gas in the container I couldnt return it. If I had three hands it might be easier to use it. The Justrite container is very well made and easy to use. The release handle for pouring gas is right next to the carrying handle and is very convenient. The flexible metal spout is also easier to use than trying to bend the plastic spouts. I wish I had done more research and spent my money on this one in the first place. If youre happy with the plastic containers then so be it. If you have problems with them, as I did, I recommend this container. Not related to the product but I bought this from Amazon and received it very quickly. No problems with packaging or delivery.

Ive bought several of the various styles of Commifornia plastic 5 gallon cans. All so slow and hard to use. Never again. Im trashing them. I tried a Nuvian can with the Commifornia spout. Extremely slow. Then I bought the full flow flexible nozzle for the Nuvian NATO can. That was much faster but it wasnt a safety nozzle in case of a tipster. This Justrite is perfect. Easy filling without removing anything. Two handed operation where you use the left hand on the handle to lift and control the flow with your thumb on the silver loop and use your right hand on the bottom rim of the can to help lift also. The perfect design for a safety can. I should have bought this decades ago.

I have a collection of plastic, metal, new Jerry Can, new and old .. a fleet of gas cans; The worst of my collection is a JUSTRITE 5gal metal can that has a plastic yellow funnel (JUSTRITE and EAGLE both sell this) - man that is a clumsy pour - but great for storing gas because it is air tight and mostly safe (until you decide to pour from it). Pouring from a heavy metal 5 gallon can is clumsy and you will spill; the funnel spout is rigid so you cannot waver or move a bit as you pour, this is two bad points about the funnel - I absolutely cannot pour from it - it is dangerous; I have challenged a number of friend and family to pour from the funnel-can; yes, it stores gas very very well - especially with STABIL added; The best of my collection is this can; I own two of them, one is 2.5 gallons, and one is 5 gallons; the valve mechanism and the flexible spout are stellar. Five gallons of gas is heavy and clumsy - but this can makes storing and pouring (both) perfectly safe and easy. I keep non-ethanol fuel in these metal cans for hurricane weather. The flapper cap/valve is perfect for this and keeps moisture-laden air out of contact with the fuel; as a result, the fuel can be kept for a year or more very easily. Easily worth every penny - the JUSTRITE 7250130 - I plan to buy several more. If you need to own just one can, this is it; The 2.5 gallon can may be ideal too if you run a few two-cycle (oil/gas) machines.

good buy

Forget all the crappy plastic cans with high tech safety pouring spouts. Cheap plastic cans that expand and contract, that will eventually crack. This is a rugged metal can with a great paint coating. Reminiscent of the cans my father had that he got from his father, except this one has a better finish! The only thing that I would fault it for is not having a stopper to put in the pouring nozzle. Yeah, other reviewers said just bend it down. Well, it gets dusty and windy around here. Bending it down isnt going to keep dust out, so after searching Amazon for something that would fit the nozzle, I came across this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRFEEFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This silicone stopper fits perfectly in the nozzle. Both the gas can and the stopper are a great buy together! MODIFICATION 03-31-19: STILL, absolutely the best gas can you can get. I got rid of the plastic cans I had. The link for the stopper seems fine on my end, but perhaps its because its an Amazon Smile link that it doesnt work for one commentor. The actual title on the page of the stopper is: WIDGETCO #4 White Silicone Rubber Stoppers 11-03-2020 - STILL the best gas can ever!! No issues with this gas can at all. Total satisfaction for 2 years + of use. 06-06-2022 - STILL the best can I have ever owned! No dents! No leaks! This can does not sit outside, but is garaged year round and sits on an old bathroom rug my wife was throwing out. Mainly to prevent any underside damage to the paint. Came back today to order another, and it concerns me greatly at the number of dented and leaking cans that Amazon has sent customers and refused replacements. Think Ill be taking my money elsewhere on this one. And my apologies to anyone who went by my 2018 review to make this purchase. Either Justrite or Amazon dropped the ball somewhere.

I needed a quality gas can to keep in the back of my truck w/cap. I keep my dogs back there in crates during hunting season so I can have ZERO leaks or fumes. Reading reviews on this can along with the similar Eagle, I decided to go with this one as it offered the 5/8 spout (which I can easily use to refill my truck in remote areas). The can arrived in a timely manner and after I assembled the spout assembly I noticed a large dent on the opposite side of the can (both the outer shipping box and the inner factory box showed no sign of damage). The damage must have been from the factory. I called Amazon and they promptly shipped me a new one free of charge. As gas cans are not able to be returned, they told me to either keep the dented one or dispose of it properly. Excellent customer Service. Rating a 4 due to the dent....but cant wait to use this can.

Great container for filling PWC

This can works perfectly with no leaks when using it. The rubber is high quality and seals perfectly. Everything about it is high quality and you get what you pay for!

I was a bit concerned by some of the reviews but have had zero issues with the filler cap or filling the can. I am not sure what people are comparing it against when they dislike it. This is as solid as my old USA made eagle can and is perfect for my old tractor and truck with the 1 nozzle. I used this to replace an old jerry can that rusted through but bought this instead of the new NATO ones that seem to be junk.

-- Update 4/19/23 - I emailed JustRite customer service and informed them about my leaking 5 gal Safety Can and provided my Amazon order number. They were responsive and emailed me back asking for the stamped Id number from the can plus a picture of the leaky behavior. After that they arranged shipment of a replacement can per the product warranty. I am updating my review to 4 stars based on their responsiveness and low-hassle warranty replacement. I am knocking a star due to having to deal with a leak at all, but may bump it back up in the future if my 3 cans remain leak free. -- Update 4/15/23 - This year one of my 3 year old red 5 gallon Type II Safety Cans started leaking from the bottom. I had it in the trunk of my car for about an hour because I drove to fill up my cans with ethanol-free fuel for my lawn equipment. My car smelled uncharacteristically of gas but I didnt really notice the leak until I set the can down on my patio after filling the mower. At first I thought I must have dribbled gas down the spout onto the ground - after all these are premium lifetime cans and a leak is unexpected. I returned the can to the shed only to find the floor saturated with fuel the next day. Not very safe for a Safety can! These safety cans stay out of the weather in my shed so abuse is not the cause of the leak. Im disappointed to say the least. Im reducing my review to 3 stars because the cans are awesome when they dont leak, but they should never leak. Ill be submitting a warranty claim but in the meantime the leaking can has 5 gallons of fresh fuel that is leaking and I have nowhere to put it. -- Original review Its silly to get excited about a gas can. Unless you use one frequently. If you are tired of the overpriced, over-complicated plastic cans with their clumsy vapor locks, look no further than JustRite. I now have three of these cans in various sizes and doubt I will need anything else for quite a while. These are high quality, sturdy and pour and stop well. The only negative might be the spring strength on the lid, which can make it difficult to hold the lid open with your hand. Go ahead and buy it, you wont be disappointed.
