Justrite 7110300 1 Gallon, Galvanized Steel Type I Blue Safety Can

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!

Can't believe I'm about to review a gas jug but this thing does indeed deserve a review!I wanted a jug that would seal tight and not leak vapors either when sitting in the shed or in the car. Well, tonight I went to the gas station to fill it up and after doing so I set it on the passenger floor board and on the 10 min drive home with the AC on, not once did I ever smell any fumes! With the same run with the plastic jugs they just about gag me out even with the windows down. I am now happy that I can take the Civic to get gas rather than always having to take the truck!Oh, the ding of one star is for the fuel cap seal being made out of cork (wish it was FKM or EPDM but nope...it's cork) and for the fact that nobody can seem to get one of these delivered without having dents in it! The box did not have any shipping damage but yet there were still dings which makes me thing the manufacturer throws them around before being placed in the box.

We use these at work.The are undoubtedly robust, and last a long long time.My one critic, is your hand has no "fulcrum point" to grap, meaning, you pull back on the handle to open the can, but against what? There is no thumb tab, or bar to open the can against. You basically have to 2 hand the can, by lifting, grasping underneath the can, somewhere, then pulling the handle to open the lid to pour.I don't know if that made sense or not, but you will understand when you use it the first time.It makes for some interesting moments when using a funnel.Plus, creepy crawlys like to live under things.

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.

The description says, leaking proof lid, controls vapor and spills. That is a blatant lie. The lid goes over the nozzle, it doesn't screw on, if the tank leans / falls over it will 100% leak and gasoline WILL spill out , that is a fact. The other thing is under the lid is a gasket made of corck, corck will disintegrate after a while and fall into the tank. Why couldn't you use a rubber gasket. I must say though it is still better built than the other brand. More heavy duty.

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.

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.

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!

Produit dispendieux mais de qualité, très satisfait

Exactly as stated in description

Well built, paint looks great, and clever (metal) handle device that opens the cap "automatically" while pouring.Highly recommended over a plastic fuel can.
