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.

No-Spill 1405 2-1/2-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB Compliant) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Granted, these cost two or even three times as the cheap Blitz CARB cans sold in the discount stores.
I've used these cans for over five(5) years. The original ones still work. I've tried nearly all the others, but none compares with the ease and convenience of this one. I am a contractor who uses small engine equipment almost daily. This is the one that has lasted.
The onle caveat that I have is that care must be used in tighening the top. The gasket is very thin and fragile. You have to seat it by raising the black outer sleeve and making sure that the seal contacts both the top of the red body and the yellow sleeve, before tightening the black sleeve. Otherwise you will tear or destroy the gasket.
The people at No-Spill were kind enough to send me several gaskets for FREE, until I fighered out the right technique.
Now, I purchase 2 inch ID 1/8 section Viton "O" ring from Graingers that are a lot more durable than the square cut gaskets.
The can is not perfect but nearly so.
So, if you want performance and the convenience of easy to use, get this one. It's worth the money and you won't be sorry. It's money well spent.

No-Spill 1450 5-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB Compliant) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now that gas cans are no longer allowed to have vents, most of them are clumsy and spill prone. Not this one - it is the best gas can I've owned! Well worth the money. The button makes it easy to control the flow of gas. This is especially helpful when your five-gallon can is full and the tank that you are filling is in an awkward location (such as my old sears garden tractor).
Also, the "CARB" lining of the can will help keep your gas fresh (as well as being environmentally correct). It turns out that some components of gasoline can evaporate right through the plastic the traditional cans. This means that after a month or so the composition of your gasoline will be changed. The lining on the new cans prevents this from happening.
