1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy!, April 21, 2008

By	C. Coleman (A CARB state) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have two of these cans. They are "self venting" which means the air is supposed to suck back in a separate pipe in the spout. In Theory. In reality the suction in the tank prevents the fuel from running at even a quarter of the rate of a real vented can all the while in a splashy rather than smooth stream (lack of venting again), then it stops all together when the suction gets so bad it gulps air and anything else back into the can. The spout is rigid and impossible to use without a funnel The only way I have found to use the can is squeeze it as hard as I can to get a good flow then release to force a "gulp". This is even worse than my older vented Blitz can with the spout stored inside the can (smelly hands anyone?) With idiotic government regs in place vented cans have become all but impossible to find. In OH we can't even get these self vented ones anymore, rather we can only get CARB ones which are self venting compounded by a spring loaded closure. If your state is going CARB, get what you can now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak stream and the cap is a total pain, February 9, 2009

By	S. Bailey (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This can seems to "piddle" the gas out or fire it out, not much in between. The cap design is absolutely horrible. The little yellow cap is difficult to click into place and unless it is REALLY on there then it fall off with the slightest bump when you are moving it around. The idea for this can is great but the cap and spout need a fast redesign.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid gas can, July 15, 2008

By	Rynounc99 "rynounc99" (Mt Auburn, IL) - See all my reviews

I have three of these and love them. I use them to fill a mower and the builting handles make them pretty easy to use. I have never had an issue with them spilling.
I would not buy though if you intended to use them to fill up an auto.
