The fill spouts are horrible. I just take them off and pour the fuel all over the place.

Serviceable. Safety spout could be improved, easier to use and more reliable.

The safety in the fill spout make it a bit difficult to work with.

The can leaks from where the spout meets the can. For something this expensive, it really shouldn't leak like this. Perhaps it is just this particular can that is defective . . .

On of the easiest can to use with the new safety nozzle.

YOU HAVE TO REMOVE (AND SAVE) THE GREEN PLASTIC CAP SO THE VALVE IN NOZZLE CAN SLIDE IN AND OUT... ALSO BE SURE TO LINE UP THE SMALL HARD TO SEE ARROWS ON THE NOZZLE TO UNLOCK THE SAFETY LOCK. (THANK YOU CALIFORNIA)..

The spout is a joke. Doesn't work. It was the only one available at the time so I didn't really have a choice. The container itself is nice and strong but the spout is a maze and it broke.

It's a gas can, not too many expectations required! It holds kerosene!

Holds fluids

Can wasn't really what I had wanted as a metal 5 gallon can was what I had really in mind. The can did meet all expectations but as I said, I would have preferred a metal can.

Filler neck is weak and leaks is sideal ways pressure is applied

The nossle was very difficult to use. Had to take it off and use a funnel instead.

Just what I needed.

It's perfect. It does the job. No more paying $8.80 +tax, for lighting the grill. Yes folks, it's the same thing you are paying $2.60 or more for a 32oz bottle for charcoal lighter, that you can get at a gas station for $3.49 (plus tax) for a gallon of K-1. Why waste your money ?

We have a 2 1/2 gallon can that never seem to be enough. This is much better for us.

In my opinion the fuel can is very in adequate the spout, open and close slide lever leak and I are to the flimsy side. I would not recommend ,or purchase another container like this.

Works as expected. Needed the. Lue color for kerosene.

I purchased this can because there wasn't anything else to buy for kerosene/diesel. I filled it and attempted to fill my lawn tractor's tank. There is a mechanism in the spout that I find useless and unnecessary. After trying to figure it out I finally ended up removing the spout and poured the fuel into the tank. I'm taking the can back and looking for something else. PS, the cost of the can was about $5 more than I've seen similar products elsewhere.

I bought this product because I'm close to selling my house and I didn't want to fill up the heating oil tank. With that, this can is sturdy to hold the weight of five gallons of diesel fuel. If my truck driving school taught me, correctly, a gallon is 8.5 lbs. so, full, weighs approx. 42.5 lbs. The spout being tricky, and the constantly shifting weight made for a trying endeavor. Read the instructions, first. I did not. Products like this are usually pretty simple, and I assumed this would be, as well. As I was experimenting with the spout positions and attempting to pour into the tank port, I heard something crack. So, I just removed the spout and poured it down, old skool. Since, I work nights, I filled the tank at night, after work, and, since the plastic is blue, and thick, it was hard to see the progress of filling the tank, and fuel was wasted either on me or on the pavement. If this wasn't such a temporary necessity, I would have gone to my Stihl dealership and purchased a replacement, there. Working with that can is a more efficient process.

It is a good container
