2 Star Rating  "a dumb design (or designer)"2008-05-29
- Reviewed By hlewis@physics.ucsb.edu
Like the earlier reviewer who also had a Ph.D., I find that it is usually possible to get through the minor glitches in everyday life without going crazy. But this has got to be the dumbest design for such a simple device as a gas can as one can imagine. I note that Blitz has gotten the message, and is now selling the so-called Enviro-Flo spouts, which are also CARB-compliant, and may conceivably work better.
 
1 Star Rating  "This is a dangerous product"2008-05-11
- Reviewed By thesorkins3
First, let me state that I am usually a reasonable person and that I hold a Ph.D. O.K., the Ph.D. is not in gas can technologies, but it gives me the credibility to say I read the directions and followed them. Second, let me state that I have owned two of these. I returned the first believing it was defective. I found that it is unlikely to be able to fill my mower without the can leaking around the gasket or the spout. You have to catch the projection of the spout on the edge of the mower filling hole to force the cowling to retract and the gas to flow. Two things happen. First, unless you put no bending force on the can, it leaks from the cap or the gasket. Second, because it has no vent, the can takes a long time to fill the mower. The amount of spilled gas has been truly gargantuan and I fear that if the mower had been hot enough, then it would have ignited. Perhaps I just got two defective products, but I doubt it. I would also reiterate what has been written by others... you can't use this to fuel a vehicle.
 
1 Star Rating  "Next to useless."2008-02-19
- Reviewed By rault@argolink.net
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.

This was a good price for this container. Not crazy about the cap, but it's the law.
 
2 Star Rating  "Not for on-road vehicles"2007-09-12
- Reviewed By genericnick
The nozzle does not fit the standard unleaded gasoline filler neck of an automobile, so you can't refuel your car with this container. To be fair, the adhesive label attached to the container does clearly state, "Not intended for refueling on-road motor vehicles", but Amazon doesn't mention this caveat in the description so you have no way of knowing until you receive the item.

I had to return mine since I bought it specifically to keep some extra fuel in the shed for my car. If are looking for a can to fill your car, this is not the one. If you need a can to fill your riding mower, this might work for you. Amazon should probably move this item out of the Automotive Store and put it in Home and Garden Store with a better description of its limitations.

Finally, the container cannot be sealed without the nozzle in place and sticking up (as shown in the product photo). In my opinion this makes the container more vulnerable to damage and leaks, and thus less safe.
