I'll also say that, while metal cans may survive longer, I've had a half dozen of the Midwest cans for over a dozen years with zero deterioration or problem, and I have two older polymer cans that date to the 1970s (+/- 5 years) I got from my grandfather which are still in great shape.
If you're going to use these to fill large tanks or cars/trucks, do yourself a favor and get a shake siphon. It's many times easier than even the traditional fill spouts on cans, and doesn't require an air return/relief valve.
(*fun fact: EU plugs *will* fit into UK outlets, but UK outlets have a safety cover which is released by inserting a ground pin. Release the shield by inserting a dummy ground pin manually and you can leave your UK adapter at home)

Also, why are all the reviews on the site for a chair?
Harbor Freight and Walmart have had 5 gallon Midwest plastic gas cans on sale as low as $13. They seem to work OK because the metal ones are so expensive. Are the plastic ones going to rot or degrade after a while? I gave up trying to use the nozzles. I got a flexible funnel with a large opening and just pour into it.
