1415 1-1/4-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB Compliant), Red

This gas can is sturdy, CARB-compliant, and truly leak-proof! The 1-1/4-gallon size is perfect for small engines. Easy to use and pour—highly recommend!

I needed to purchase a smaller tank for my 2-cycle gas trimmer and found the No-Spill on Amazon with great reviews. I was not confident in purchasing any of the smaller tanks from local big box stores (Lowes, Sears, Home Depot) because I read wildly mixed reviews online and it made be very uncomfortable. I turned to Amazon and was impressed by most of the reviews even though a number of them had be concerned about product quality.The new emissions laws make it more difficult to find quality gas cans that can withstand the changes in pressure and not crack or degrade at the seams or nozzle. The plastic cans also have a tendency to break down and wear out over time and in temperature changes.I really like using Eagle branded steel gas cans but did not want to spend $35 for a 2 gallon tank for my trimmer... especially since I only needed ~1gal and wanted something that is easy to measure the contents. The No-Spill tank has a clear plastic viewing area on the front and back with markings for volume. This makes it easy to fill from my main 5 gallon tank and measure the proper amount for my oil and gas mixture. I did not see this feature advertised anywhere on the product listing but I am very glad it is easy to measure the quantity in the tank.Only time will tell if this No-Spill can is durable and can withstand the elements... but so far, so good. This little can is great and I do not have any of the issues or problems that seem to be common with this can (listed below):1. Leaks around nozzle screw2. Malfunctioning No-Spill spout3. Cracking along the plastic seamsI really enjoy the No-Spill nozzle and it is great for filling my gas trimmer. I can put the nozzle into the tank, press the button, and release the button when the tank is full.WARNING: these new gas tanks that do not have a vent valve. If the tanks have been sitting in your garage they may have built up vapor pressure inside of the tank. Before filling a tank it is advised to press the button to release pressure. If you do not do this then you may spray gas when the pressure is released and you are trying to pour gas into your equipment.

I still pine for the golden years of safety agnostic gas cans, but in today's world of hyper consumer safety - this thing is the Dean! If you don't feel like dealing with a Rube Goldberg gas can to fill your mower, give this one a shot. Have been using this style for the last 5 years and to put it simply, the thing just works. No fuss, can use it with one hand, clean and controllable pours every time, and the things holds up after years of abuse. No trickery to get it to pour, just push the button and let it rip. Top comes off easily for refills (recommend cutting the barbed safety collar for faster filling). Slowly converting all our other cans to this style as they age out.

I bought this little gas can because I needed something manageable to fill my snowblower with gas throughout the winter. I have a couple of those giant 5 gallon tanks but it's hard to manage and see with the small space my snowblower has to work with (my snowblower is a small, single stage one where the gas tank is enclosed in a plastic housing, making it very awkward to access - not to mention the gas tank of the snowblower isn't very big at all - 0.33 Gal). With the addition of having a bad back, it was not a fun experience for me and I needed an alternative.So upon browsing Amazon, I came across this little gas can and it caught my eye. The nozzle specifically. I saw that it was a lot smaller (1.25 Gal) than the traditional 5-gallon ones and I loved the nozzle. I bought it, filled it up with fresh gas and used it just this morning to fuel my snowblower (thanks winter!). This thing is like night and day compared to those big cans. It's very easy to manage, very easy to control and the perfect size. I absolutely love that you can see how much gas is remaining in the can on BOTH the front AND the back.A couple of tips for those who have one or are thinking of picking one up -1. Obviously, make sure the gas cap (the black part) is on tight. Much like a standard gas can, you're pouring the contents of the gas can against the cap, so make sure that is nice and tight to prevent leaking (there are teeth on the cap to help you manage how tight it is locked on).2. Make use of the finger holds on the yellow nozzle. There is a spot for both your index finger and middle finger to "pull" while you push the green button with your thumb. This is nice and makes it easy to control the flow.3. If you're filling up a small gas tank, press the green button lightly to ensure gas doesn't come flowing out at a rapid pace. Unless you know you're emptying your gas can, do not completely press the green button all the way in, otherwise gas will pour out rapidly. This makes it easier to control (think of it like a gas pump at a gas station - squeeze the trigger hard, gas comes out quickly; squeeze the trigger lightly, it comes out much slower).I hope this makes sense and helps those of you who are on the fence about it. Honestly, I never expected to write this long of a review about a gas can but it was EXACTLY what I (and my back) needed for my snowblower. Goodbye 5-gallon cans!

A million times better than cans that require pulling spouts, removing internal caps, etc.You PUSH A BUTTON and the gas comes out. You can control the flow with how hard you push the button. Release it, and it shuts off immediately.This can is great because it nearly eliminates spills, overfills, and getting gas on your hands.I think this is the best can design for the homeowner. But there is an issue with overall quality. I have had to replace 2 of these that developed leaks along seams, one on the top, the other on a side, due I think to poor welds along the seams. Its a very common issue with these plastic cans. The 5 or six others I've owned or used have held up. The overall convenience and safety when dispensing outweighs this flaw in my opinion. But you do need to keep an eye on these for leaks.A small improvement in build precision would make these cans invincible.
