1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Spout - Child and Adult Proof - Can't get gas out of this spout., September 26, 2009

I purchased this can because I trusted the name Briggs & Stratton. Wedco makes the spout and it does not work. I am 65 years old and have been using gas cans for over 50 years. This is the first can that will not allow me to get the gas out of the can through the spout. I have to unscrew the entire spout, take it off and then carefully pour the gas into my mower. I am looking for a flexible replacement spout that does not have any safety features. I am a CPA and MBA and have read the directions carefully. No gas comes out. This product is junk. Do not buy it.
It worked once, and then auto shut off, never to work again.
This product gets no stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Auto-Shut-Off Doesn't Work, Not At All !, February 17, 2010

The title of this review says it all. I have an older Briggs and Stratton 2.5 gallon auto-shut-off gas can that cost about the same as this disaster, but it works just fine. It has the Briggs and Stratton name molded into the side of the can, whereas this new can merely has a paper label glued onto the can with a molded-on name of "Plastics Group". Don't buy this impostor.

This thing "cocks", then when pressed hard into your receiving tank begins to flow. If you let up on the pressure, the flow stops. But, the flow does not automatically stop when your receiving tank or receptacle is full, which is what I would call "auto-shut-off".

My older gas automatically stops before overflowing.

The Amazon system required me to give this new can one-star, but that is not really deserved.

I find this difficult to use. You can't see into the tank to know when to stop, and gas flows very fast.
