5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Gas Can for the money, December 10, 2010

This review is from: Eagle UI50FS 5-Gallon Type 1 Gasoline Safety Can with Funnel (Lawn & Patio)

I bought 2 of these cans after searching and searching for a can that is reliable and cost-effective. The new carb rules force gas can manufactureres to have spouts that are very difficult to use and/or get off the can for refilling. There are some decent aftermarket HDPE gas cans with vents used for filling race cars or dune buggies and such, but usually these are tall and square and require some sort of holder to transport them in your vehicle so they do not topple over. Plus, many of them look homemade to some degree and I question the longevity of some of the seals that are used.

These cans work great. I did fill up a car and to do so I have to remove the funnel and insert it upside down (the piece that fits over the can facing toward the sky) so that I could pour gas right from the can into the funnel. Otherwise I would only been able to get 1-2 gallon our of the can into the car due to the angle of the funnel (the funnel is not flexible). At the end of pouring 10 gallons of gas I had about 20 drips of gas on the ground, but all of it occured at the beginning of the pour as I had the cans totally full. Next time I am going to try using one of the funnels in the car and the other on the can, basically pouring funnel to funnel to see if that helps.

One thing no one has mentioned is filling the cans at the gas station. These cans have a strudy mesh screen inside the lid area that sits about 2" deep. This allows you to sit the gas pump nozzle into the can and it holds it in a uniform spot. The pump will auto shut off at 4.6 gallons of gas so that it does not spill out the top. You can then choose to bleed in the full 5 gallons slowly if you wish or just leave it where it shuts off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great can- no odor escape, August 1, 2008

This review is from: Eagle UI50FS 5-Gallon Type 1 Gasoline Safety Can with Funnel (Lawn & Patio)

I just purchased my second can and love them. The funnel is hard to put on but if you really pull back the handle it goes on pretty easily. The newer one works a bit easier than the older one. I agree with others that if the gas is stored in a hot area you shold release the pressure before pouring but the tank does not expand like my pastic cans do. When transpoting in the back of an SUV or car there is NO odor escape. I use them for tractors, lawn mowers, etc with no problem but I can see that if you were trying to pour into a car or truck filler door that was vertical it could be a problem getting sufficient gas into the vehicle.

In hurricane season when a storm is on the way and you need to store extra gasoline in your garage, it is much safer to use a 'safety' can like this one (rather then the standard red plastic ones you get at home depot). Made of durable metal with a self closing lid, this can makes us feel much better about storing gas under our roof. It comes with a funnel to make pouring easier, but to put the gas into your tank you will probably need an additional funnel (we bought the Plews Utility Funnel with Screen, that is made of metal with a flexible spout).
