No-Spill 1450 5-Gallon Poly Gas Can

Product Review

Most spills occur tipping a normal can to get the spout into the tank opening before the liquid comes out, or removing the spout from the target vessel before overflowing. The No-Spill spout is fully user controlled so you tip the can vertical, insert the spout into the vessel opening, then press the button to begin and control pouring. To stop pouring simply release the button. Practically eliminates spills and overflows. The only Spill-Proof spout with thumb button control that does not push down on your tank's filler neck to pour. More control, fewer tip-overs of your small equipment. The fastest pouring Spill-Proof nozzle available. At up to 3 gal/min, compare to other brands at 1.5 to 2.0 gal/min. Meets California Air Resources Board requirements for sale or use in California. Autostop removable nozzle, single opening for filling & pouring, treated can body for low permeation. Rear handle for pouring makes it the most user friendly CARB compliant 5 gallon can available. 6-inch Flex Spout Extension (sold separately) allows filling of on-road vehicles, boats and many other hard to reach tank openings. No-Spill Gasoline cans are tested and certified to ASTM F-85299 Standard Specification for Portable Gasoline Containers for Consumer Use and our Diesel & Kerosene cans are tested and certified to ASTM F-97602 Standard Specification for Portable Kerosene and Diesel Containers for Consumer Use. 5 Gallon CARB cans feature rear handle for well balanced pouring. Puts the can into the perfect position for pressing the thumb button.

This is *the* gas can to buy!, June 20, 2008

Now that gas cans are no longer allowed to have vents, most of them are clumsy and spill prone. Not this one - it is the best gas can I've owned! Well worth the money. The button makes it easy to control the flow of gas. This is especially helpful when your five-gallon can is full and the tank that you are filling is in an awkward location (such as my old sears garden tractor).

Also, the "CARB" lining of the can will help keep your gas fresh (as well as being environmentally correct). It turns out that some components of gasoline can evaporate right through the plastic the traditional cans. This means that after a month or so the composition of your gasoline will be changed. The lining on the new cans prevents this from happening.

Good Gas Can -- BUT..., May 16, 2010

Great container, but two issues: You must push the button for gas to flow, and the spout is too short to use this to refuel a vehicle. If you're lifting a 5 gallon container to pour gas, it can be tricky to free up one hand to push the flow button. I was unhappily surprised to find I could only get about two gallons of gas into my truck the first time I used it. The can is cube shaped, and the spout is so short and stiff that I can't tip the can enough to get the gas into my tank. They sell an extension to the spout, for about $10 with shipping, but I don't know how well it works. Even if the extension fixes it, adding the cost of the extension makes this a very pricey gas can.

This can leaks around cap seal, June 27, 2011

Bought this can a few weeks ago and just went to fill it for the first time. After filling, I replaced the cap and tightened it down as far as it would go and there were several clicks of the retaining clip. Put the can in my trunk and drove home (about 8 blocks). When I got home, gas had spilled out from around the cap. There is a black o-ring and this still did not make a seal tight enough to keep the gas from spilling out.

Not worth the money for this can. Can't return it as there is no way to ship a can that has been filled with gas by UPS, US Mail and to ship via a hazardous chemical transport company would cost way, way more than the can cost.
