No Spill 1405 2.5 Gallon Gasoline Gas Can

I needed a 2 1/2 gallon can to replace old one for perfect oil to gas ratio for chainsaw. Reviews made me slightly wary due to reports of leaking. I decided to take a chance keeping in mind that I could just put one of my many extra nozzles on if it leaked. Using my own nozzle was not an option due to the odd size. Fortunately I don't need to. The included nozzle doesn't leak and works out much better then expected for pouring fuel into my chainsaw. easy to keep from overfilling and very easy to pour. I really like this can and nozzle design.

Does exactly what it should, easy to use , safe.

This 2 1/2 gal. No Spill gasoline can is the bomb. It,s sturdy, holds up to abuse. Has a dirt trap that's easily maintained in the fill neck of the can. The delivery spout is great . Push button. Easy to use , the cap seals good and is made of good rigid plastic . This is my second , my other one is going strong after 10 years of hard knocks. The can is virtually spill proof.

Be sure to test your new can using water before committing by filling with gas. I'll tell you why in a moment. But first I want to mention that after the testing is complete, remove the cap, empty all the water, and leave the can OPEN with the can upside down and tilted a bit with the opening resting on the ground so all water can drip out and air can get inside the can. Be sure the can dries out in a DRY location (did I really need to say that?) for several days to make sure it is completely dry before filling with gas. Why test before using? Because the reports of leaks are TRUE. However, you must tighten the cap to where you feel it begin to seat and then continue to tighten until the securing teeth on the cap engage the notch on the can (photo #2), and folks, this requires more force than I personally believe should be necessary to secure the lid to a leak proof state. If you feel as though you are tightening too much, "welcome the club, my friend". One of the reasons for this is that the mouth of the opening (photo #1) is slightly distorted presumably from the manufacturing process. The brown o-ring inside the cap (shown in photo #1) must seal very tightly against the mouth of the opening to prevent the gas from getting past the o-ring so again... the cap teeth MUST engage the notch on the can, one notch at a minimum). Make sure there is an o-ring as one video post I saw where the can was leaking horribly acted just like there was no o-ring... it happens. Before you tighten down the cap, be sure the dispensing nozzle is pointed in the right direction because it won't move once you tighten it down securely and it shouldn't be forced. Now that you are set up for testing (you did fill it with water and dry off the outside so you can check for any leaks, right?), try tipping the can by 90 degrees for several seconds (in a sink, tub or outside) as if you were going to dispense but DO NOT dispense anything at this time. Tip back and forth several times letting it sit at 90 degrees for several seconds between tips. Now let it rest upright so any liquid that makes it past the o-ring has a chance to make its way down the threads under the cap and drip down the side of the can. Repeat until you are confident that the can does not leak and you have identified how many cap teeth you have to use on the notch to establish a good seal. Did it leak? If so, try tightening down the lid by another notch and try again. Once you have established a solid seal, try dispensing the water. If you want to have some fun while you are testing, take the can (the one with water in it!!!) out onto your front lawn and start watering your flower bed when the neighbors are watching. Last step... imagine your can is empty and you are now at the gas station getting ready to fill it back up. Try taking the lid off. Was it next to impossible? If so try loosening then tightening and repeat the leak test until you feel you can remove and reinstall the lid without having to use unreasonable force. Lets face it... for some of us, mowing the lawn is the furthest thing from a "hobby" so fighting with a leaky gas can with a lid that is very difficult to remove is not going to make our day any brighter. Save yourself a lot of frustration, time, and spilled gas by performing these simple tests BEFORE you use it with gas to make sure you understand the limits and reliability of the mechanism. One other point, there is no handle on the side of the can and it is VERY difficult to tip to 90 degrees using only the top handle. The tip I was given was use both hands to lift, tip to 90 degrees, and position the can in the filling position. Next use your legs/knees to hold the can and then you can free up your othet hand to dispense the fuel. Make sure the can is clean if you are going to use this technique. Try out this technique first with the water test before committing to using with gas. Once again, be sure to dry out the gas can after testing as I previously described before using with gas OR returning. Finally, there are other cans that have similar dispensers and have a side handle which is very convenient and more user friendly. I hope these tips help you out... Happy Mowing!

Very easy to use. Durable for the long haul. Good thickness.

After not being able to find a replacement spout for my old container, I purchased this one. I'm very happy so far... the 90-degree angle pour spout is great for filling my JD lawn tractor, and the flow rate when dispensing fuel is much faster than my old one was, which means less time holding up the container. I'm also impressed with the shut-off valve so far... No leaks after releasing the button. As far as longevity goes, we'll have to see... Ive only recently begun using it. All in all, I'm Very happy with my purchase.

Ive had this gas tank for 12 years and although I'm not a fan of how the nozzle screws onto the tank, it is a minimalist's dream. No extra parts to collect dust and be introduced into the fuel system. Works great, light enough the kids can use and control it. It's been very reliable

This is a quality product with an innovative and secure main seal and pouring system. Top of its class in both of those respects. I don't think you can find a better poly fuel container under about $75, which is the going rate for those "mil-spec" Scepters on eBay (when you can find them). That said, there is one huge caveat to consider if you've got a sprayed-in bed liner, a tonneau top, and a "throw-and-go" mindset like me. Here's the story: I used this thing to fill up a generator I was testing, and I secured the top as tightly as it would go before setting the can -- now half emptied -- into the bed of my truck with the rest of my tools. Since the can doesn't leak in ANY orientation, I didn't think or bother to cinch it down or stabilize it in any substantial way (as with bungee cords or the like). I simply closed me tonneau, put the tailgate up, and went on my way for a couple of days. Then, I notice a strong gasoline smell coming from the back of my truck. I figured that some gas had dribbled out of the mouth or spout and was stinking up the joint. That was correct. But the smell was nothing compared to the damage the spilled gas did to my bed liner -- it totally stripped it off the bed itself! I assume it was able to soak into the sprayed-on liner because the closed tonneau prevented rapid evaporation. So much for "heavy duty," I guess. Still, that part is my fault (or my truck dealer's, for using a cheap product). Nevertheless, I wanted to see if the can was at all to blame, so I inspected it to try to find the leaky spot. Of course, the can was bone dry on the outside, and it wouldn't leak its contents no matter how I held and shook it. So I got to thinking, and I decided that something else in the bed must have wedged up against the can's push button and released some gas into the nozzle. The nozzle still had its cap on, by the way. So I pushed the button, and the nozzle filled up. I set it on its side, but the gas stayed put. Then, I tilted the whole thing upside down -- with the gas still suspended in the nozzle -- and all of it came spilling out the back side, around the actual push button (which was no longer depressed). Mystery solved. I wouldn't call it a design flaw, either. It's simply a limitation of the nature of the product itself. So, if you have a crummy dealership-installed spray-in bed liner and no cinches for your gas can, you might do some costly -- but fixable -- damage to your ride. I am not certain that the tonneau played a significant part, but it may have. So, consider your habits and your usage scenario, and don't make the same mistake I did.

I've bought no-spill fuel can spouts before and have been disappointed. This one came on a can, is simple to use, and is reliable—so long as you pay adequate attention to what you are doing when decanting petrol. Listening to the changing sound as the tank fills is more helpful than seeing the fuel level. The flow of petrol stops immediately when the button is released. Highly recommended.

V v nice and practical.....

再度購入しました。他メーカーの商品も使いましたが、使い勝手が良いのはコチラでした。

I have just used for the first time and I am really surprised how convenient and controllable it is. It is in my car and I don't smell any fumes. When I refuel my portable generator, not a single drop gets wasted or drips. Excellent can.

These are the best gas cans on the market that I have ever bought. Easy to fill and a push button to let the gas run out. There are three places to grip the can. (1) The handle for carrying, (2) Finger grips on bottom of yellow cap while you push button on the top with thumb, (3) Slot in bottom of can to put fingers for tilting can when pouring. No leaks. I can place it on my generator gas tank place the nozzle over the hole push the button. It works great for me and I highly recommend it.
