Justrite 5 Gallon Type II Red Safety Gas Can for Gasoline with Flame Arrester, Self-Closing Lid, and 1" Flexible Metal Spout, Made in the USA, Galvanized Steel Flammable Storage Can, 7250130

Yes a little expensive but well worth the money, Well made, very safe transport can. In fact a lot of construction sites I go to will not let you bring in gas unless they are Justrite cans.. That pretty much says it all

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.

Extremely high quality, super easy to fill without overfilling, you just squeeze to start and release just before it fills. You want to stop the floe a few seconds before it's full, it will drain the nozzle after the valve is shut.

Justrite makes tough, long lasting fuel cans with a variety of safety features not found in plastic fuel cans. Among this features are metal versus plastic, a removable spark arresting screen that prevents the can from exploding from a spark while pouring and spring loaded fuel flow stop handles. See the photos for a view of the spark arrestor. I’ve had the larger Justrite 5 gallon can seen in the photos since 2010 - no leaks, spills or problems. I just bought the smaller 2 gallon Justrite can for oil/gas mix for my 2 stroke lawn and garden tools that require an oil/gas mix. The one thing I wish Justrite would include would be stickers that say “Mixed fuel only” or “Gas/Oil mix only”. I ordered those stickers from Amazon for $6 for a pack of 4. Mixing up pure gasoline and oil/gas mix would make a mess of a 2 or 4 stoke engine if the wrong fuel is used. I’d never use cheap poly cans for gasoline. The Justrite cans are expensive but a LOT less expensive than a fire, 3rd degree burns or worse. I just ordered a Justrite 10 gallon oily rag waste safety can because I always have oil, gas or parts cleaner soaked paper towels and rags around my shop and proper storage of those items to prevent spontaneous combustion from oily rags/towels is imperative. Be smart and safe! Hope this helps.

Excellent fuel can, no vapor release or spills when pouring. Pours very well! Store fuel with confidence.

Rather pricey for a gas can, but I guess that you get what you pay for. I had a similar steel but non-safety gas can and when the plastic filler spout broke I couldn't get a replacement spout. Bought a cheap plastic gas can which had a rigid spout that must be telescoped to pour--it was a total disaster; spilled gas whenever I tried to use it. Kind of scary, and I was sure relieved when I got to throw it in the trash. This Justrite is a solid, sturdy can that won't turn over in the car trunk or pickup bed. I haven't actually used it myself to fill the mower tank but my grandson tells me that it works just fine. The only fault is: you almost need an assistant to help fill it at the gas station. The filler neck has a spring loaded, hinged cap and the spring is so strong that you pretty well need two hands, one to open the cap and the other to keep the can from sliding or rotating, plus a third hand to operate the gas pump nozzle. Or, you can use your foot to jam the can against your vehicle tire to hold the can in place. The can also has a lovely paint job. I sort of dithered between giving it four or five stars, but I think that an item should have NO faults to merit five stars. Someone wrote that the can is made in China, but my can was made in Mattoon, IL. One more thing: I went to my local hardware store and bought a rubber stopper to keep dirt and insects out of the pouring spout.

This is an excellent and safe storage can. It is well built and all metal. As required by the Type II standards it has one opening (spout) for pouring and one for filling. This relives you from the chore of unscrewing a spout (often with loose parts) in order to fill it or pour used fuel back in. I use mine to store gas/oil mix for my weed trimmer. It works well and the squeeze trigger lets me easily fill the small tank on the trimmer without rick of overflows. The squeeze trigger gives you fine control of the flow - this is pretty amazing for a gas can and is a big big safety feature. The fill opening has a VERY strong spring on it (good for safety in a fire situation) and it can be a bit of a chore to hold that open when wrangling the trimmer to pour unused gas back into the can. I need to get a funnel which might make this easier. Filling the can at the gas station is not difficult and the stiff spring is not a problem. There is a small amount of assembly required to mount the spout to the body of the can. Follow the instructions and you won't have any trouble. Another big plus is the 10 year warranty on this can. Yes there are cheaper cans out there, but not better ones. I keep the can outside, away from my house in a large plastic bin to protect it from the weather. Please, NEVER keep gas inside your house or garage. It's just too dangerous and you just can't know what might happen to that can when you are not around. An old boss of mine lost her home to fire when gas spilled in the garage and was ignited by the water heater. A bicycle fell and overturned the gas can which slowly leaked.

I bought this can about the same time as I got an Eagle safety can. There is absolutely no comparison. They were stored in the same place and this one rusted a hole in th ebottom and we had a slow leak of half the contents this winter. How is that a nearly $70 can is so easily penetrated? The hole was on the bottom, but even the top is showing signs of corrosion.The Eagle looks great by comparsion. This is a horrific safety issue and I deeply regret wasting money this brand. Safety it is not!
