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

no issues

This is the fuel tank of all fuel tanks. Its easy to fill at the pump, easy to use to fill cars or any gas-powered toys, has a great lever that seals really well, and just really is a high-quality, well built tank. I went from a cheap Wal-mart plastic can that I was literally unable to pour gas into my car with, and which always got gas everywhere whenever I used it because of all the safety features that make it impossible to dispense gas from those crappy plastic cans, to this thing and I really couldnt be happier. I can fill equipment without spilling a single drop. I dont even need to wear gloves anymore because I know I wont get it all over my hands and on the equipment. I did also buy the smaller, 5/8 spout (

Okay, I hate the plastic stuff that is CA approved. The spouts dont work. The spouts spill more fuel than the old not environmentally sound do. My truck is 8 inches higher than most and the CA approved fuel cans just plain suck. Now that that is out of the way, the Justrite can is like the cans my grandfather use to have on his boat some 40+ years ago. Yes, they are heavier than plastic. Yes, they do NOT hold a full 5 gallons (4.7 roughly). However, I trust these cans. These have spark arrestors. These have pressure releases. (Ever had a collapsed/expanded plastic fuel container?). I can also lift the can and fill my truck with no spillage due to the extra long flexible spout (5/8). A con. The flow control handle has some slop to it. I do not like slop but do not consider it a problem.

Ive owned a few of the plastic variety gas cans over the years and just assumed a gas can was a gas can: they leak when you use them, they smell because they are not air tight and the fade and look crappy after a few years. Justrite completely changed my opinion! Not only are these classy looking gas cans, they are extremely functional. It is a large can and can be a bit awkward to use when full, but that is about the only negative I can think of. Ive transported the can in the cab of my truck and barely noticed any gas smell (yes, barely - it IS a gas can after all, but nothing like a plastic can). They clean up nicely if you dribble a little gas when filling and they are built for the long haul. Its hard to sit here and praise a gas can, but Justrite makes one whale of a gas can. I bought two: this 5 gal. one and a smaller 1 gal. for 2-stroke mix. Definitely worth the price!

After struggling with the new politically correct plastic cans from the big-box stores for the last decade or so, I am very impressed by the quality of this gas can. Unlike the plastic cans, It seals up tight so there is no smell of fuel in the car when returning from the gas station. It’s easy to use: the handle on top is well positioned to help when pouring and the shutoff valve works exactly as it should. These cans are pricey but, I think, well worth it when you consider safety and easy of use.

I just took this for an elk scouting trip in the backseat of the Subaru; kept smelling gasoline on the drive but figured it must have been the drop or two that spilled from the fuel nossle onto the can when Id filled it up prior to setting out. The fumes were kinda rough so I just lowered the windows and kept driving. Only after I arrived to my destination in the mountains 2 hours later did I unpack my SUV to see: a puddle of gasoline on the floor mat where the can was sitting! Shucks diddly! I removed the floor mat (careful to not pour the puddle of gas all over) and transferred some fuel from the can into the fuel tank figuring that the gas must have spilled out the top of the can due to sloshing around in those mountain roads or maybe to coming out the top due to some change in pressure sciency business - in any case I saw no damage on the can (or leak) and so I put the can into the trunk of the Subaru and left the vehicle for my scouting trip. Several hours later I returned to find: a friggididdly puddle of gasoline in my trunk at the base of the can! What the hecksters! Only when I arrived home and examined the can under my light did I see fuel misting out of a pinhole at the base of the can (the can is upward bowed, like a cola can and the tiny tiny tiny (can barely see with the naked eye) hole is along the perimeter). My can has a manufacturing defect as it has only been kept on flat surfaces and has been taken well care of and is less than a year old! Now my (family) car smells like gasoline and is airing out... the rubber mats are screwed. Cant take the baby out with the car smelling like this! Now to reach out to the manufacturer to seek help. Other than that it was a nice trip though!

This can was purchased to replace an old plastic can. It arrived very quickly and was undamaged. It required attachment of the flexible metal fuel hose using furnished gasket and two screws. I’m using the can for my two stroke lawn equipment. It has a lid for fueling the can that is held closed by a very strong spring. Adding gasoline at the station was a small challenge (in WA) as one has to hold open the filler cap, insert the fueling nozzle, release the cap, pull the nozzle vapor capture bellows back to active the nozzle and then begin fueling. Its harder to do than my old can but the vastly improved safety this can will provide is well worth the effort. As others have mentioned the can appears to be built like a tank. With a little bit of care it could very well be the last small gas can I ever have to purchase. Dispensing fuel into my equipment is a breeze using the handle valve. If the cost doesn’t bother you the can will not disappoint.

We added another expensive, high quality had can to our garage. Expect it will last a lifetime. Excellent quality, spill-proof, easy to pour.

This is the 2nd Justrite 5 gallon can I purchased in January of 2022. I used it for the first time this weekend and the filler cap leaks like crazy. For the $120.00 I paid for this I would have thought the quality would have been a lot better. Very disappointed

Arrived with a dent in the bottom, even though the package was unmarred. That tells me it was probably shipped already damaged. Other than that it seems like it will work well, although the handle to open the valve is harder to hold open than I thought it would be. I refuse to ever spend another dollar on those cheap plastic cans that make you press the nozzle down against the tank opening to start the fuel flow. This system is leak proof and imminently more sturdy and secure than the plastic alternative. I use similar cans (http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-50-FS-Galvanized-Gasoline-Capacity/dp/B00004Y75M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1417295006&sr=8-5&keywords=fuel+can) for all my 2 cycle and 4 cycle gasoline requirements as well. 12/30/2014 I wanted to add that after the first couple of uses, I like it even more and decided to raise it from 4 stars to 5. To refuel my tractor, I have to climb up and over the front end loader, which is a very precarious position to be that far off the ground. I found that with this can, I can lay it down on the edge of the hood, and as long as I can shape the nozzle to fit in the tank, I can pour fuel without spilling a drop. even upside down, the can holds the fuel in and remains leak free. All I have to do is tug the handle to start the fuel flow, and if I or the can slip, release the handle, and even if I drop it all the way to the ground, will not spill a drop. Definitely worth the purchase price!
