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.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. Replacement spouts and kits are available cheaply from Temu, AliExpress, Amazon, and similar sources, and some replacements can empty the can much faster than the supplied nozzle. One workaround is to swap in a real spout or a push-button style instead of the safety nozzle.

  • Yes. It is described as a real decent price, and one shopper said they could not find any gas can under $20 for months. The smaller 2.6-gallon version was even noted as costing $1 more.

  • The included safety nozzle is usable but can be annoying and may leak if used frequently or if the can does not seal well around the nozzle. Some also report that the nozzle is surprisingly decent compared with other safety nozzles, but still not ideal for frequent use.

  • It can, but the nozzle is awkward for small equipment and is better suited to filling cars or tractors. For snowblowers and similar tools, a fuel transfer pump or a smaller can makes filling much easier.

  • Yes. A described modification removes the nozzle's internal spring and keeps it open until manually closed, but the o-ring must be replaced or it will leak. Another common fix is using a replacement spout, which can cut emptying time from about 10 minutes to about 2 minutes.

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

Complete with the stupid idiot nozzle
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.
