I used to keep an empty plastic gas can in the cab of my pickup in case I got stranded or came across someone else who was stranded.
Having used larger Wavian cans before, I was willing to give this a shot as an alternative, and actually keep it filled with gasoline (and PRI-G as a stabilizer) in the toolbox of my truck. Despite being in fair levels of heat, there has never been a hint of odor coming out of the can or in my toolbox, which means that the more volatile components are properly sealed inside and no fumes or liquid leaks.
I actually used this can at one point to deal with someone asking for "money for gas" in a parking lot. I happened to have enough spare fuel on hand to be able for the guy to drive his family home, and I didn't have to take out my wallet or deal with any of the potential risk associated with that.
I will recommend four things:
1) Before you put a drop of gasoline in this, familiarize yourself with the latching mechanism, mount the nozzle and adapter, and get a sense for how they work. It's waaaaay easier to do that when the can is empty than when it's full.
2) If you're planning on carrying this around a lot or keeping it in a vehicle, consider zip ties or some other means of securing the adapter and nozzle to the can so they don't get separated. There's a mount for the nozzle, but zip ties will keep it from getting knocked off and also allow you to secure the adapter.
3) A funnel is a good companion to this. The nozzle and adapter are decent, but the last ~5% of the fuel in the can is hard to get out with the nozzle attached because of the shape of jerry cans.
4) IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A WAVIAN ITEM ORDERED ON AMAZON, CONTACT WAVIAN DIRECTLY. The company actually has fantastic customer support, and I've been very pleased with them. It's better for them, you, and Amazon if your issue warrants anything other than a straight return.
