Diesel Cans

Very well built. Doesn’t seem to have any leaks. Seems to do it’s job as a safety can.If using for storing used motor oil, I’d highly recommend buying a Type II oil can, which can unload more efficiently as it has two openings. My one complaint with this is that it is a pain to empty.I would like see a product to protect the structure of this can from physical damage.

The quality and durability looks great upon arrival. It arrived undamaged and brand new. I can't wait to use it.

Quickly became my favorite gas can

Great gas can.

Good quality. Well pleased. Sure beats those plastic cans!

This review is based on the price I paid for 2 of these 7 years ago. The non-sale price of these today are THREE times the price of what I paid. The sale price is still twice what I paid...It's a solid can with a stout lid that when closed, keeps all fumes and liquids inside. I keep two of these in my garage and never smell gas from them. Lid is easy to open when you have it on the ground and can use your body weight to help hold it open when filling. If you try to just use your hand and wrist to prop it open in some fashion when it's empty, the spring is strong enough to make the can flip around on you. This is not a con of the product as I want my hazmat containers to have firm, tight and good sealing lids.The plastic funnel is junk. Leaks, limits your angle and too slow.

This is the way a gas can should be made; puts the plastic eco-spout competition to shame.

I have searched long and hard to find a decent gas can that could both pour and not fall apart during hot and cold swings.This can takes the cake!I have actually bought three of these because they are metal, pour quite fast despite not having a vent, and are made of metal so they should last many years of "consumer" service. I say this having used these type cans at job sites, in shop environments and now at home.Pros:Funnel does not get in the way of filling and is easily removed for filling a vehicle- use a different funnel though; this one is top heavy when filling vehicles.Can seals very well- no gas smells even when filled in the morning and sitting in the sun all day- no leaks either. The can will safety vent before exploding as is stated in the product literature. The plastic ones always seem to split under these conditions. No pun intended.Funnel and pouring scheme work for fuel tanks both large and small- you can pour too fast and fill the funnel faster than it empties causing spills if you are not careful. The funnel flips out and locks to aid in pouring.Galvanized steel with a flawless red powder coat finish. The funnel is the only plastic part on this can. This will last many years.Has a built in spark arrestor - this is good as I can see in theory how a flame might be able to travel into the can under the right conditions. This has a safety device to prevent that from happening.OSHA and NFPA approved. These are the cans you WANT on your job sitesCons:Dirt accumulates easily in the funnel- funnel is not covered and on a windy day dirt visibly accumulates in the funnel. Removing and storing it could solve this issueThere is no "good grip" on the bottom of the can when pouring. Rather you grasp the can by the slightly recessed bottom and hold on. This gets tiring when filling a vehicle, man-lift, or any other application where you are pouring the entire can at once.The spark arrestor makes it hard to visually see how much fuel is left in the can when filling. I stop filling when the pump clicks off. I suppose all metal cans suffer from this issue.
