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

Community Reviews

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)

    OJ47BoastfulJuice3071likeaw

  • 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

    brotherhpj41OJ47

  • 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

    unksol

  • 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

    leecewest

  • 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

    Philosopher

  • 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"

    TheWellKnownOJ47

  • 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

    unksol

  • 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

    sup3rson1c

  • 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

    SharpStag6437

  • 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)

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.

You can get *good* steel jerry cans but they are going to be $50. And 4 of these for the same price

I have 5 of these. They don't take that long to fill. They don't leak. Yes the nozzle is incredibly annoying for anything but a car. Or maybe a tractor. If you are going to fill small power equipment this will be a pain in the ass/get something smaller

I put an automatic fuel transfer pump on my can. It makes filling up my 2-stage snowblower much easier when snow blinded.

Allegedly, one can remove the nozzle assembly from the can and depress the nozzle. On the screw end portion you will see an o-ring. Remove the o-ring and the nozzle will separate into two pieces, then remove the spring and reassemble, not forgetting to replace the o-ring, otherwise it will leak. Then when you press down the nozzle it will stay in the open position until you manually close it. Not that I would ever do this because I blindly trust our benevolent CARB overlords.

VP Racing fuel jugs. I would never EVER use these with the "safety nozzle" on them. Absolute garbage.

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

It's not that much more expensive now. I can find gas for around $2.75 near me, which works out to $13.75 for 5 gallons. Gas prices have gone up less than the overall inflation over the last 40 years or so.

I used my Kroger fuel points and got gas for $1.29/gal a few months back. 35 gallon limit, and used it all.

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

Well... I guess I'm a bit out of touch about other states..... in my state gas is near $5 per gallon.
You guys are lucky..

I got some metal cans on ebay about 10 years ago. The gaskets for the nozzle cap on mine are available on Amazon and probably ebay. Found that after 2-3 years of use they tend to not seal very well and leak gas or fumes. Fixed right up like new, but I still use a electric fuel pump to remove the fuel, because the metal can nozzles suck and besides they are heavy.
