This 5 gallon gas can is mainly valued as a cheap way to store and pour fuel, especially when similar cans have been hard to find under $20. The supplied nozzle is the biggest drawback, with reports that it is awkward, slow, and can leak if used often. Still, the can itself is described as serviceable, and replacement spouts or pump setups can make it work much better. It is a practical budget pick if you can live with the safety nozzle setup.

  • people who are willing to maintain/repair the nozzle to stop leaks because commenters said leaks can be fixed by replacing the o-ring/gasket (and even described disassembling the nozzle assembly to prevent leaking)

  • people who need a 5-gallon gas can and have been struggling to find one under $20 because this was called a "real decent price" at $12.88 and commenters said they couldn't find anything under $20 for months

  • car and tractor owners who want to pour fuel quickly from a 5-gallon can because the nozzle was described as "incredibly annoying for anything but a car... or maybe a tractor," implying it works best for those bigger-fuel jobs

  • homeowners filling seasonal equipment like a 2-stage snowblower who want easier refueling because one commenter used an automatic fuel transfer pump with the can and said it made filling their snowblower much easier

  • buyers who plan to use a spout replacement to speed up filling because one commenter said a replacement spout let the can empty in about 2 minutes versus ~10 minutes with the supplied nozzle

  • buyers who need a can that seals well out of the box because multiple commenters reported the can doesn't seal around the nozzle and leaks, with one saying "cheap cans always leak"

  • people trying to use the can for small power equipment (like small engines) because commenters said the nozzle is painful/a pain in the ass for anything besides a car or tractor

  • people who want a "safety nozzle" setup for fuel jugs because one commenter said VP Racing fuel jugs are "absolute garbage" specifically when used with the safety nozzle

  • people who want the older "old school" style cans because commenters noted regulations may make those older-style cans illegal to make now, limiting options

  • people who don't want to deal with nozzle-cap gasket wear over time because one commenter said after 2-3 years the nozzle-cap gaskets tend to not seal well and leak gas/fumes (even though replacement gaskets help)

This nozzle isn't as bad as the others. It's surprisingly decent. Will still leak if you use it frequently

Right, I think regulations now say that the old school cans are illegal to make now though...which sucks.

Crazy that the smaller 2.6 gallon one is actually a $1 more!

You can still buy cans with normal nozzles. They're just stupid expensive.

Who remember when you could've filled the container for less than this price.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

FWIW, you can get "real" spouts for a couple bucks apiece on Temu and AliExpress if you buy a multi-pack.

Surprisingly enough Amazon also carries spout replacement kits to bring you back to sane style gas cans (pre 2009 EPA/carb regulations).

You can fill this today for less than $13. Gas is below $2.60 a gallon in a few states.

Yeah, hadn't even checked Amazon because cheap plastic crap is usually cheapest directly from China, but just ordered a 5-pack for $7 from Amazon (https://a.co/d/a8oJAPK). Crazy.
