> 24 hourThese are so much better than the plastic ones with all the twisting crap you have to go through. You end up spilling more gas then you ever did with a Jerry can. it was one of the dumbest ideas they ever come up with. Ive got a plastic spout laying in the bottom of my zero turn mower tank. The plastic ones with the springs and the little vent tube suck. This one so far is great its just right. when youre ready to dispense you dont need a funnel you pull on the lever and the fuel comes out when you let go of the silver lever it stops. You dont spill a drop. Well worth the money Im going to buy two more cuz I mole a lot of grass.

> 24 hourOk. After reading the reviews I wasnt sure what to do. Like many others I am SICK of the cheap expensive red plastic gas cans with the terrible snouts that dont work. So I headed to the reviews about this Justrite 2 gal can. I didnt need a big 5 gal size, and this 2 gal was right for me...manageable & not heavy when filled with gasoline. At the time I bought this, there were only two reviews. One was 5 star, the other 1 star. How do you decide from two extreme positions?? I agree with the 1 star rating reviewer as I do NOT want to buy a China product and get a substandard product. Shoot, I do not even want to buy from china period because I would rather support other USA citizens with my loyalty and money. But there are two things that 1 star review brought up: 1. China made means usually a Substandard product. Unfortunately I cannot find any fault or cheapness in this can. Its tough, well made, powder coating paint is great and the gas seals are flawless. 2. The reviewer claimed the ad description claims to say the can is made in USA. I looked carefully and maybe they changed the description in the fews months when he did his review, but I do NOT see a claim of USA made. Instead, I do see the statement...The company, founded in 1906, is headquartered in Des Plaines, IL. In other words, an American company Justrite outsourced this 2gal blue can to China and didnt tell us made in China,... nor did they say made in USA either. They just got us thinking USA. I do think that every product should have a country of origin so we know as consumers where it was made. I do think this cans description is misleading to tout the company being US based almost as if implying this can is made in the US then not really saying but just implying it. That is marketing misdirection... and a form of deception. This happens a lot these days & I have to read things very carefully to pin down country of manufacture and not just look where the company headquarters are located. Fortunately we can still share our reviews freely with each other,...but for how long I wonder. So bottom line, I have to give it 5 stars. Built like a tank. Given the cheap labor in China this can would be more fairly priced about 30$ for this 2 gal size. But @ 56 & free ship its actually priced MORE than the larger Justrite 5 gal size I just bot from amazon.com. One last note: Amazon gave 5-6 diff vendors offering this item. But I intentionally bot from Amazon.com & not one of the competing vendors. Sometimes outside vendors are hard to deal with in case of return (as other reviewers of similar cans indicated) so I bot from in-house Amazon for best customer service. BOTT LINE: great can, convenient size, strong spring loaded fill cap opens 3/4 (safety feature). I just temporarily block it open with a wooden wedge if I need to keep it open for filling. Top quality, easy pour, high price, yes made in China. EARNS 5-STARS.

> 24 hourRecently I tried to fill up my small generator from a standard CARB approved gas can. WHAT A MESS. Spilled gas all over the place, and it was very hard to hold the ( unbendable ) nozzle open while pouring. This thing is fantastic, since you can bend the hose into the generator , and you have complete control over the flow with the lever on the handle. Easy to not spill a drop!

> 24 hourThis Justrite one gallon can is perfect for chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, etc.. I use mine for a dedicated gas oil mix can. It is nice and small and super easy to control. You can easily get the can in position and then, when ready, depress the perfectly positioned valve release. You can let it trickle or let it gush with complete control. The thin flexible spout is perfect for small engines. Please see my other review for the five gallon Justrite can.

> 24 hourIve admired these gas cans for a long time, but I was living with a cheepie 5 gallon plastic can for the last 10 years. I finally decided that it was time to stop using the ethanol gas in my lawn equipment - Ive just dont get that many years of service out of them before I have to take the carb off and clean it. So my old plastic can got demoted to a drain oil can, and I bought one of these for use only with ethanol-free gas. Its a lot easier to fill my mower now without spilling any gas, because you hold the can in the same position - you only have to work the valve handle with your finger. So you can react much faster when the mower tank suddenly fills. That and you can control the flow of gas down to a trickle with the valve. Wish Id gotten one a long time ago.

> 24 hourYou get what you pay for!! Expensive for a gas can for sure, but it is really sturdy and well built and I am sure it will last my lifetime! No leaking or fumes that I can detect. I use for diesel fuel and travel with it in the back of my SUV and no smells at all. Great Buy! I did have to sand the connector when installing the spout. Had some rust but no biggy. Gasket was nice and tight after that!

> 24 hourTreat yourself to this amazing little red can, it makes me feel go to own it. I have been needing to get a new gas can but was hesitant because of the price. Let me tell you I am a brand new man with this bougie gas can. I feel like a woman does when she buys a Michael Kors purse, you just got to tote it around and show it off! BUY IT!

> 24 hourThis is the 2nd Justrite 5 Gallon Red AccuFlow Galvanized Steel Type II Vented Safety Can that I have purchased & I am extremely satisfied with it. It is expensive but worth it because of its many features including safety (has an auto vent feature to prevent gasoline vapor pressure buildup inside the can & “swelling” during increased temperature environments as plastic gas cans do), quality metal structure which should last a lifetime, attached flexible nozzle for convenient pouring of gasoline into small & large openings & the ability to be filled by holding the gas pump nozzle by itself relieving a person from holding the nozzle while filling the can.

> 24 hourHandles are very comfortable and the fuel flows freely with out air gulping back through the nozzle. I have several 5 gallon size Justrite fuel containers and have been very pleased. This is likely not required but I took a step to fill each with only 4.8 gallons to accommodate any temperature induced fuel expansion. I’m reviewing the 5 gallon size tank, so one should note that the cylinder with fuel weighs ~37 pounds. The handles are ergonomic but some users may be happier with the 2.5 gallon size. Always look for “Sold By Amazon, Shipped by Amazon” in the vendor description. Their standard return policy will apply. I did not need to return any of the 7 I ordered.

> 24 hourThese Justrite gas & fuel cans are simply awesome! Sure, they are a little expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for with this product! I now own 2 of the 5 gallon cans with the 1” spout and 2 of the 2 gallon cans with the smaller spouts. All of them perform excellent! Quit struggling with the terrible plastic ‘junkcans’ and order yourself or your contractor buddies one of these ASAP! Oh and by they way... Ray at Pro Supply Co. immediately replaced my latest can that got crushed in transit, so not only will you get a great product, it comes with outstanding customer service!
