1450 5-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB Compliant),Red and Stens 5 Gallon Diesel Can 765-108 For No-Spill 1457, 765-108

OK, I know, it is "just" a fuel container, but with all the regulations being forced on us and the industry, CARB compliant containers are also "just" not made equally, however this little beauty gets high marks for design and features and when matched with a companion flexible nozzle (ordered seperatly) it for me then becomes PERFECT.Like you are doing right now I started reading reviews on various portable fuel containers, all the new regulations on ventable containers really set the market into a tizzy to be compliant and they all seemed to have "the answer" to the best way to handle fluid disbursement and venting. The two recurring issues that appeared to be common across various manufacturers were 1. SLOW, painfully SLOW to disburse the contents and 2. They leaked.A few early reviews (I ordered and used mine in August of 2012) of this manufacturer has some of these same comments, a youtube video also show a video of how that persons leaked around the cap. I can tell you that the manufacturer has listened and made what ever changes they though necessary because I experienced no issues at all. So, onto my observances.I ordered this container from Amazon as well as the flexible fill tube, both had free shipping and surprisingly they shipped from the same place in seperate packages, one shipping and arriving two days ahead of the other. Both came adaquatly wrapped and packaged for the contents, lets face it, these are NOT fragile items so cardboard and paper packing were just fine to get them to me without any damage.I looked for the locking "teeth" on the cap that others had noted, I find only one tab and it is an easy squeeze to disengage the teeth from the locking pin (molded onto the container). This allows the cap to be twisted open for filling the container. I find this appears to have been a modification to earlier models and for me just posed no problem whatsoever.Off to the fuel station to fill the container, remembering how a previous review noted that once filled the sloshing of gas inside while driving back home had leaked from around the cap and into the trunk area of their car. I note the container has 1 - 5 gallon markers on the container (this 5 gallon version does not have a clear strip to see the fluid levels as the smaller versions do), in the light of day it is easy to see a dark shadow line to easily dectect the level of fluid inside the container, in a night setting this may not be as easy BUT the fill hole is very large and easy to see into. I fill the container to the 5 Gallon mark and stop. The container has a larger than 5 Gallon capacity, several inches remain from the 5 Gallon mark to the top of the container but I cautiously leave the air void to ensure no back pressure against the cap on the drive back home. I note the inside of the cap has a black rubber "O" ring, I believe an issue someone noted in the past, but it looks like this may have been a change by the manufacturer as well, not sure. I twist the cap on and click it through a few of the teeth on the cap to insure a tight fit.I arrive home from a three mile drive and when I open the trunk I can not even smell gasoline much less see any on the outside of the container. This container has a handle on the top and along the back, nice wide ones, but not so wide that a smaller hand can not securly wrap around them, these handles make it easy to pick up and hold the container, a PLUS as far as I am concerned.I am going to fuel my generator, which has a opening on the top - this is going to be a good test of just how useable and liftable this container is going to be having to hold it with one hand and press the release button with the other. I remembered a previous review about the fluid leaking from around the cap and I have some paper towels at the ready.VENT VENT VENT, important to do while the container is sitting flat on the ground. I remove the protective cap from the end of the nozzle (it has a molded strap to keep it hanging free and from getting lost) and slowly press the release button, the container vents itself of pressure and no liquid comes flying out, I recommend a slow press of the release button to keep from a massive venting all at once.I contemplate using the flexible tube that I ordered, but decide to give it a try without it first. Lifting and tilting the container over 90 degrees I look for any leaks around the cap...NONE at all. I slowly depress the release button and start fueling the generator...still no leaks. I let the relase button go and the fluid flow stop immedietly...still no leaks, I start fueling release again and let it flow at maximum and note it is fast, yet controllable by slowing letting pressure off the relase button. I can regulate the output from a slow trickle to a steady flow with no problems at all. It takes me less than two minutes to release 4 gallons into the generator, some of this time is from stopping and adjusting the flow as well, it would be much faster if I just let it rip until I really needed to stop.NO LEAKS, period. I still have some fuel in the container and take it over to my lawn mower, to fill that tank up. This time I test the auto-shutoff feature, I tilt the container over, move the nozzle down into the tank and press the release button, when the fluid level in the gas tank hits the end of the nozzle, just as advertised the flow STOPS, period, it is the same as if I stopped pressing the release button.Overall Comments:I find the release button a handy feature for more than just the obvious - it allows me to tilt the container and get the nozzle into postion without any leaks or spills and release the fluid when I am ready, not when gravity is ready.I find the two handles and their placement to be sturdy and grippable, not danty, not overly large - someone thought this out and found the perfect size to accomodate hand sizes and still handle the weight of a full container.Any previous issues noted in early reviews appear to have been addressed, bottom line my container did not leak. The two tabs of teeth for locking the cap in place is down to one on my model and not a problem to use in engageing or disingaging the cap from the container.Weight, well folks it IS five gallons, if this is an issue fill it only partially, or get a smaller container version. I did not finde this to be an issue for my use. I will say that my useage is not for a moving object such as a boat, in that instance I would still get this container but use it with a hand pump syphon hose to transfer the fuel from the container into the fuel tank of a moving or rocking object.IF you are going to use this container to fill something where the fuel opening is not horizontal to the ground, you will as others noted have an issue dispersing the entire container contents as the nozzle is at a 90 degree angle to the container. For this situation I recommend ordering and using the flexible nozzle extension, I did and so far have not had to use it but can see how it would be necessary for some situations.I would purchase the container again, and I would and have recommended to my friends...who have already came to borrow it while theirs is in transit from their order.

Most of us despise the newly mandated fuel containers that are safer, etc., etc. Unless you have 3 hands there was no way you could easily get gasoline into a fuel tank. This one is definitely a major improvement. The flow rate is quick and the release works even for a senior like me. Yes, I bought a 5 gallon container and it handles very well right from the start when fùll and at its heaviest. Absolutely would buy another.

Ever since the gas hike started raising prices more than ever, Ive started to keep two 5 gallon cans just so I could avoid the inevitable price hike. But both spouts would leak incredible amounts of fuel inside the rear of my suv..I tried new spouts, new rubber gaskets, but nothing worked. SO I watched a short video on this claim of spill proof and with a press of a button completly mess free can. Ill admit I was sceptical at first, but I ordered it anyway. Man was I pleasantly surprized that the claim of "no spill" was true..not only was there no spill, but the ease of use was appreciated.

I decided on this can despite the numerous poor reviews because I thought the design of the nozzle was just too good to pass up, and I'm happy to report my satisfaction, as well as a couple of tips for use; having bought the dreaded 5-gallon model plagued with leaking issues at the cap (according to other reviews), I was relieved to discover that mine came with a gasket and, despite some rigorous tests, refused to leak. I'd almost give this 5 stars, but there are a couple of things to watch out for so it's not perfect out of the box.The nozzle works as conveniently as demonstrated in the product video, though you may wish to consider your can size carefully if you share my T-rex upper body build. Also, save your wrist and don't forget that there's a handle on the back end of the can.The auto-stop feature is a lifesaver, especially for devices with narrow fill openings that are inevitably impossible to peer into to see the fill level. If you can't jam the nozzle far enough down whatever container you're filling due to clearance, any snug, airtight hose extension (skip the one sold by the company and cut a custom length of tubing at a hardware store) will maintain the auto-stop function; simply hold down the button and the flow will stop once the gas level reaches the end of the hose (and the hose fills up).Over 6 years later, I can also confirm that this can passes the test of time sitting outdoors (with a roof over it). Both the cap and the nozzle mechanism work just fine, and while the can body has rounded out somewhat due to long-term internal pressurization, the base remains flat and steady, and the material itself is showing no signs of giving out.Finally, a few tips for buyers:1. Whatever size you choose, definitely check the bottom of the cap for a gasket (mine is now dark brown, but it may have been black 6 years ago) when you receive your can. If it doesn't have one, don't settle―it WILL leak at some point. Either get a replacement or your money back from Amazon (yes, that qualifies as defective, it's missing parts and leaks) or go to a hardware store and get your own if you want to save the time and trouble. If you go the DIY route though, be careful; some gasket materials may get eaten up by gasoline over time.2. When screwing the cap on, be sure the yellow body is seated against the threaded black ring correctly. The one time mine leaked was when relatives used it in my absence and haphazardly replaced the cap. The yellow body can be out of position even if the black part is not cross-threaded. The easy way to prevent this is to pull directly up on the yellow part while screwing the black ring down. The ratchet strip on the black ring should engage more than halfway if the cap is correctly seated.3. Don't overfill. If it's rated for 5 gallons, it'll hold that much. These cans are designed with airspace at the top to accommodate outgassing up to a certain internal pressure, so if you fill it too far you'll literally blow a gasket.4. If you store this can outside while significantly less than full, you run the risk of it collapsing due to pressure drops driven by seasonal temperature changes. Avoid storing this can for long periods while only partially full. If you wish to leave it empty, loosen the cap somewhat.P.S. I have seen reports that the auto-shutoff feature may not work unless the green button is depressed completely (i.e. maximum flow). I have not tested this myself as I've always pushed it in all the way.20190613 UPDATE: I saw a few of these cans on the shelf of a local hardware store, and upon trying the lids out of curiosity, I discovered that manufacturing tolerances are lax enough that if you're unlucky with the combination of can and lid you get, they won't want to seat together correctly. (I was able to resolve it by swapping lids around.) Out of the box you can test for this by following my advice above, and additionally checking that both the black thread ring and yellow lid body are level with the red shoulder of the can opening below the threads.I also recommend testing your can's sealing ability before adding any fuel, since gasoline renders it un-mailable and makes getting a refund/replacement more annoying:1. Add at least a cup of fresh, refrigerated, carbonated beverage of your choice to the can. (Baking soda and vinegar or water and dry ice will also work if you can keep them separate until step 3.)2. Replace can lid (following advice above).3. Invert the can so that the beverage inside covers all the sealing surfaces around and inside the lid.4. Allow the beverage to reach room temperature.5. Shake the can while upside down.6. While keeping the can upside down, check for beverage leaks, bubbling, and hissing around the sealing surfaces of the lid. If any are found, fail.If the can fails, either try re-seating the lid and re-testing, or get the can replaced. If it passes the test, rinse out the can and lid and dry completely before use.

By far the best can I’ve found for filling the 6 gallon tank in my boat without having to remove it.

Perfect large tank for my riding lawn mower. The no spill dispense feature makes it easy to fill up my mower without spilling a drop.

I've had a few different types of gas cans and this one has been the best. I definitely recommend purchasing.

These gas cans are so much easier to get into the hole without spilling gasoline all over. You have to be careful that the gasket "seats" when placing the tops back on - sometimes they don't fit correctly and leak around the screw-cap. Prefer these to the conventional type of nozzel.

I got a bunch of those no spill nozzles, this is par for the course. Main downfall is the filter, which cannot be removed and just makes it difficult when filling because of overflow; which is where I see this thing, causing spills. The can is neat, I like that there are 2-way handles, makes handling them a lot easier. Make sure you keep the nozzle from moving during discharge or it could result in a spill. These necks are bigger than usual and as a result, more gas ends up there, so exerting too much force on one end, will cause it to want to "pry" itself off because the nozzle acts like, you guessed it, a pry bar. Which will happen to any tank but the wide neck makes it easier to act that prying effect. Take the good for the bad I say. Use it a lot and in most circumstances, they really are no spill.The worst part, is filling them... the screen is a bad design and that is why I removed 1 star because I can live with the wide neck; it does save time.... and my back but it is a lot more hassle to fill up than I bargained for. I may end up MacGuyver'ing the screen out because they cannot be cleaned by any easy means, which is just frustrating.I do recommend them, however because I would buy more and may yet.

I love this! I use a mix of diesel additives in my truck and have always found it a problem when filling my 250ml containers that I use. Previously I used a small measuring container to go from an old gas can that held my mixture into the 250ml containers. It was slow and a bit messy because I always manages to spill a little bit.With the No-Spill gas can, I can fill up my containers without spilling a drop. Having the on-off valve on the can has made all the difference.

These cans are well made, but only good for dispensing gas to top open tanks.For example, this IS NOT suitable for filling up cars/trucks, since their nozzle is on a slant, while these cans are 90 degrees. As a result, not all gas will flow into the tank as you'd want.This IS suitable for stuff like the the videos provided.

This is probably the best option for decanting fuel however. No spill Jill is a liar. The spout doesn’t stop pouring when the fuel reaches it, it blocks the air vent to the can that is in the center of the spout this slowing down the fuel flow but far from a dead stop as her little video directly says.The spout could be 1”-2” longer as it’s long enough to fill my grizzly but just barely.

Flow of gas is smooth and fast which is what you want. Handy size for bikes and lawn tractors. A funnel makes filling a car easier. I also have 3.5 L Garage Boss which works like a charm with blowers, chainsaw etc.
