Blitz 31733 5 Gallon Spill Proof Gas Can Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If your only use for this can is in refueling a lawn mower or other relatively large and stable non-vehicle, it's only mildly annoying. If you need to put fuel into the tank of a car or truck, it's close to useless or downright dangerous; at least three hands (two for the can and one for the funnel you'll also need) are required at a minimum in order to pour fuel out of the can and get it into the tank of most cars. In any usage, the low flow rate caused by the pouring spout's design seems calculated to infuriate the user. Although the regulatory insanity that spawned this device was doubtless well-intentioned, the result is a product which will serve only to cause the user to remove the offending "safety" portion, and pour the gasoline straight from the container instead. And, since it doesn't have a vent on the can, this results in much more forceful splashing if a fast pour is attempted. All in all, this product is the most unsafe-to-use gasoline storage and transport container I have ever seen, when real-world considerations of how the user is likely to employ it are taken into account. A safer design would be aimed at making it possible to quickly refuel a car without the need for a funnel. The longer that you have to stand next to your vehicle by the side of the road while pouring gas from the can, the more you are exposed to the risk of being struck by another vehicle...and if you have to use a funnel at all, you're causing a tremendous increase in evaporative pollution as well as getting stuck with having an unsealed gasoline-contaminated second item to put in the car afterwards. The entire concept of this can is fundamentally flawed. I recommend that everyone avoid it, and that everyone complain to the regulators who caused it to be manufactured.
