I wrote one of the original reviews on this can. I purchased both the 2-1/2 gallon one and the 1-1/4 gallon one in 2005. Both worked as advertised and I gave the can a rating of 5 stars.

In the Summer of 2010, I found this one to leak. A small crack had developed in one corner due to repeated expansion and contraction due to temperature chanegs in the outdoor garden shed, where this can was stored. The crack leaked gasoline all over the floor of the shed. The second one developed a similar kind of leak withon a month or two of the first.

The original ones had "lifetime" guarantees. I had purchased another 6 months before. I believed that the warranty had been reduced to 3 years.

I decided not to contact No-Spill although I know that they would honor the warranty.

The first ones had a tendency to leak if the cap was not tightened a certain way. The newer ratcheting cap ones are less likely to destroy the gasket, when tightened due ta "champhered" section in the cap. I have not confirmed it, but I've been told that the flat gaskets have been superceeded by "o" rings.

I would recomend this gas can, but expect to replace it every 5 years. I am currently testing Blitz, Scepter, Wedco and Midwest cans in the same garden shed.

The Scepter ones appear to be holding up the best. In 2 years, none have leaked. Older plastic gas cans were not vapor tight to 20 psi, so they do not expand and contract as the new CARB approved ones. They vented themselves at low pressure. I've seen them that are over 10 years old. Don't expect the current ones to last that long.

"These two 1 1/4 gallon no spill gas cans, that I recently bought works really well I can fill the tanks of my weed eater, blower and lawn mower with no over spills to worry about. All you do is simply push and release the thumb button before each use to relieve pressure before poring and you hear this whooshing sound of fuel, slowly going into your gas tank and when you want to stop the flow of fuel just release the thumb button"!

After reviewing reviews on this product and knowing that Honda is highly recommending it, I purchased 3 different sizes for 3 different applications. After receiving them, I agree that they are probably the best on the market. There are some products that are very good, but require certain sized gas tank openings to work properly, whereas, the no-spill gas cans work on any size opening. It is a pleasure to pour gas without having to unscrew a gas can cap and not spill a drop.

I bought this product 2 months ago to use with my new weed whacker and I have been very pleased with it! I have filled it up a few time and have not spilled it while pouring into the gas tank on my weed whacker. This is perfect for small home and personal use with small engines like a weed whacker. When filled it is not very heavy and it is very easy to use. The one bit of advice when I was shopping around comparing prices, the one sales rep told me it is best to not leave in the sun as it will build pressure since it does not have an open vent. You must press the button in the back and pour the fuel into the gas tank which makes it a very little hassle to use. The whole time I have had this tank I have not spilled any gas while filling my weed whacker! Overall Great product, Great price, and very easy to use!

I've tried them all and trashed them one at a time. The No-Spill is the best, the real thing. It does what it says it will do. I use it on a small sailboat with a 2HP outboard that's difficult to fuel without spilling. With the No-Spill, there are no spills. Period. Total control.

Works well. The top is a little difficult to remove. It fuels whatever I want quickly with no spills. It is especially helpful when taking fuel home because if the top is clicked on correctly it will not leak. I have about 5 different no-spill cans of different sizes. I give then 5 stars.

I love this gas can because of the awesome nozzle that truly is a no spill spout.

The problem is that I've discovered that the plastic container that comes with this spout has some issues regarding not being totally flat on top at their seams.

To solve that take some sandpaper and rub across the top and smooth out where the base of the nozzle goes over the can itself and you'll fix the leak.

The spout itself is awesome and I don't even get any drips once done pouring.

If the body of the can didn't have this issue I'd give it a 5.

I really like this gas can. It's the best one I have used so far. I just hope it lasts a long time. So far so good. I would buy this one again.

After going through two other CARB compliant can I came across this one which was easy to use and NOT spill gas everywhere trying to use it

This gas can is everything it claims to be. Easy to use and pretty much idiot proof. I have only used it once but did not spill even a drop and it couldn't have been easier. Only downside is that it cost about twice as much as so called no spill cans at the big box stores. I checked those cheaper items out and reviews were not so good so I decided to spend the extra dough on this one and it appears to be worth the money. I would like to give it 4 1/2 stars just because I think 18 bucks is a little pricey for a can this size.

If you are looking for cheap, you can find it. If you're looking for quality, this is it.
