Justrite 2.5 Gallon Type II Yellow Safety Can for Diesel with Flame Arrester, Self-Closing Lid, and 1" Flexible Metal Spout, Made in the USA, Galvanized Steel Flammable Storage Can, 7225230

I have bought several of these over the years replacing my plastic fuel cans. These seem to be made with quality materials and should last for many years. They are mostly a no spill design which makes them great to transport the fuel in the back of the truck. They don't tip over as easily as most of the plastic cans. Very clean and easy to pour the fuel out of the can. There is two qualities of this can. You do not want the cheaper can with the plastic on the pour spout. The only real negative that I have is that these cans have gone way up in price over the past few years...Oh, I almost forgot...I had had one of the cans that was missing a screw when it was delivered to me, so I called customer service. They shipped me a new screw right away. I was surprised at how quick and friendly the service was when I contacted them. I own 3 of these cans and will be buying a few more in the future.

I bought the 5-gallon cans because I got tired of the plastic gas jugs where the plastic spout seal becomes brittle and starts breaking. This gas can is a whole lot sturdier; no leaks and I love the long spout (type 2) and Fast fill. They sell 2 types of spouts; 5/8" and 1" the smaller one will fit in the car gas tank opening. The safety latch can be single-handedly used in contrast to the plastic gas jugs that are a battle to get past. Though they are expensive, the pluses outweigh the cost. In fact, I'm planning on buying at least one more to completely replace my plastic jugs. They should last me a lifetime.

Gas cans have been pretty terrible ever since the EPA got involved. I have wasted more gas from the "new and improved" EPA cans that regularly dribble and leak when filling up the lawnmower than I ever lost from my old boyhood lawnmowing metal gas can that had an open spout that vented straight into the air. And THIS particular gas can bests them all. It is incredibly sturdy, and very easy to use. No more fiddling with plastic caps that cut your fingers and never fully open nor close, or with spouts that force you to hold the can in awkward positions in order to pour the fuel. The one-hand operated, spring-loaded cap, along with the flexible spout, makes this an absolute breeze to vent and to pour. It fills *very* fast, and yet it is so easy control that I haven't wasted a drop since buying it. After my second use of this can, I loaded up my collection of plastic gas cans and took them to the dump.

What I can say. You get what you pay for. Safety and the ease of filing up with practical funnel is the most critical part of that tank. Build to last a lifetime.

Ok. After reading the reviews I wasn't sure what to do. Like many others I am SICK of the cheap expensive red plastic gas cans with the terrible snouts that don't work. So I headed to the reviews about this Justrite 2 gal can. I didn't 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. It's 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 didn't 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 can's 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 it's 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.

It’s honestly a great product and very long lasting

The tank came well packaged and with a nice coat of red paint. First fill up it I noticed the fill neck seal was leaking. When you open the lid to fill you could see that the rubber seal was painted around the neck of the tank. This thin seal of paint caused it to leak when tilted. I removed the seal and flipped it around to a clean surface on the other side…no more leaks. I would buy it again.

Very well built. Steady and safe to transport; no spills when pouring gas into mowers and gas pressure washer.

Best fuel can I have found on the market.Pros: They just work great. All metal construction, good paint, and fantastic valves that can accurately release fuel at the speed you want - from a trickle to wide open. They do not tip, and are just a quality gas can! Hard to find good quality gas cans, but Justrite still makes them!Con: The fill port is spring loaded with a fairly strong spring and does not have a lock open feature for filling. Not a deal breaker, but a little inconvenient if filling from anything other than a metal dispenser nozel.
