Can't recommend this gas can,
By
This review is from: Blitz 11010 5 Gallon Steel Gas Can (Lawn & Patio)
I'm a Brit living in America and so I'm used to the NATO style jerry cans. I bought one of these things thinking it was the same. It's not, it's the same size and shape, but that's all. It leaked through the big plastic threaded area from the second it held gas EVEN WITH THE RUBBER 'O' RING SECURELY IN PLACE. No matter how tight you try and do it up, gas oozes out. That's just dangerous.
Also its got a bottom that's got some kind of cheap folded seam. Blitz seem to make great plastic cans, but these metal ones are poor design. If you want a metal Jerry can, find a NATO issue one, they have a big welded seam running around the whole can, there are countless European made brands and they're gas-tight and almost indestructable.

There are FAR better options for fuel cans,
This review is from: Blitz 11010 5 Gallon Steel Gas Can (Lawn & Patio)
I have used this "BLITZ" style can (with the screw on cap/nozzle) for many years with the same results -- leaks, fuel spills, seepage around the cap, etc...
A few months ago, I purchased a NATO style Jerry Can made by Wedco from an Army Surplus store. These cans have a superior cam-over locking system on the fuel cap -- best of all THEY DON'T LEAK like the Blitz can. The cap and nozzle on the NATO style can make a positive seal. You can lay the can on its side, upside down, whatever -- and it won't leak. The only work of caution with the NATO style can is to make sure you get a filler nozzle that is vented -- there are some nozzles out there (galvanized steel with a flexible steel spout) that are not vented and take forever to empty with lots of "glug, glug, glug)". Wedco makes a vented spout designed for this style of can -- do youself a favor, spend a few extra bucks and get proper filler nozzle.

blitz 11010, 5 gallon, steel gas can, northern tool,
This review is from: Blitz 11010 5 Gallon Steel Gas Can (Lawn & Patio)
I have 12 of these sitting in my garage for when that unexpected disaster strikes and wasn't planning to use them. Yeah well, I was forced to use a few 5 gal cans when the power didn't come back on as expected - filled up the generator. Easy to fill up and easier still to carry when emergency strikes. I used the fuel on my generator and filled up my car just in case. I've stored fuel in these cans for 3 years without a problem... and still going strong....
