One distinction is that the type 1 must be filled and emptied through the same opening and, as a result, will not pour as precisely, necessitating the use of a funnel. A type 2 has a separate opening with a spout that allows for better ventilation. On You-Tube, you can see all of the differences in great detail. tube.

Selected User Reviews For Justrite 7110300 1 Gallon, Galvanized Steel Type I Blue Safety Can
I already have the flex filler version, but I'm in need of another can for long-term fuel storage. I can't imagine why you wouldn't get one of these for $35. Robust, long-lasting, and dependable. I'd fill it up with ethanol-free gas and avoid the tank. If you want this to last, you'll have to destroy the ethanol. It only has one handle, and lifting it does not obstruct the opening. It would have to be a conscious effort to open it while lifting. br>br>Mine was in perfect condition when it arrived directly from the vendor. It has no dings, dents, or scratches. br>br>Contains a lot of air. Holds 5. 1 gallon of water up to the bottom of the spark arrester's neck When I fill it in the summer and open it in the winter, it makes a "Pshhhh" sound like a coffee tin, so I know it's airtight. br>br>Keep it full to avoid headspace (which causes fuel to degrade due to oxygen)br>Use a good fuel stabilizer. br>Fill with ethanol-free ethanol-free ethanol-free ethanol-free ethanol-free ethanol br>Write the fill date on the can and rotate it every 12 months to get free gasoline. br>br>I do the same thing with my small generator.
So, tonight I went to the gas station to fill it up, and after doing so, I placed it on the passenger floor board, where it remained for the entire 10 minute drive home with the AC on! Even with the windows down, the same run with the plastic jugs makes me feel sick. I'm glad I no longer have to take the truck to get gas! br>br>Oh, and the one-star deduction is for the cork fuel cap seal (wish it was FKM or EPDM, but nope). It's cork), and no one seems to be able to deliver one without dents! Despite the fact that the box had no shipping damage, there were still dings, which leads me to believe that the manufacturer juggles them before putting them in the box.
These are what we use at work. br>They are unquestionably durable and last a long time. br>br>My only criticism is that your hand lacks a "fulcrum point" to grasp, which means you pull back on the handle to open the can, but against what? Because there is no thumb tab or bar to open the can against, you must open it with two hands, lifting the can, grasping underneath it somewhere, and then pulling the handle to open the lid to pour. br>I'm not sure if that made sense, but you'll see what I mean the first time you use a funnel. br>It makes for some interesting moments. In addition, creepy crawlies prefer to live under things. br>br>*update* the second critic. br>br>Cans are still going strong (I bought two), but they're both turning a horrible shade of pink. Barbie would put these in her pink corvette, for example. Yes, these are in my carport and are exposed to the sun quite a bit. My lawnmower (red) is the same way. br>From the 1960s and 1970s, I have a few of my father's Eagle cans. br>Because they're rusted on the inside, I only use them as wall decorations. They were used on a farm and are still plain red.
I was used to the smell of gas and spilled fuel once we arrived at our campsite before purchasing three of these containers to transport gas; however, these tanks are excellent at containing the gas smell and spills. I can now transport fuel without having to air out my pickup bed (and attached camper shell) upon arrival in order to refill my truck's tank and our camp generator. br>br>I've heard some people complain about how difficult it is to keep the spring-loaded handle/spout open while filling or pouring. "Suck it up, buttercup!" I say to that. "To contain the fuel and avoid fumes and spills, a tight seal is required. The small amount of energy required to keep the handle/spout open is compensated for by the constant loss of fuel allowed by the cheaper plastic containers. br>br>Just in case you didn't know, The only difference between the Justrite 7150300 and 7150100 models is the color. If you're tired of leaking fuel, these are the ones to get. The SAFE and ODOR-FREE formula The extra cost is well worth it for the free result!.
This is the closest I could come to a good old-fashioned, potentially dangerous (according to some) gas can. Mine arrived in perfect condition, with no dings or dents, and it does not leak. The handle has a fairly stiff spring. br>I long for the days when gas cans were used. Fortunately, I still have a couple, and I'm hoping they'll last the rest of my life, as the new safety cans are a waste of money. Someone at the EPA, OSHA, or whatever agency it was came up with the new safety cans because they were bored. Isn't it amazing how fortunate we are?.
They all come dented or dinged, one man said in a previous review. That was not the case when I recently purchased two Justrite cans. Right out of the box, this is perfect. Metal cans are far superior to plastic cans because they last a lifetime and do not swell and leak gas in the Florida heat. I'm not a big fan of the new Eagle cans because they've started putting nylon handles on them. Thank you, Justrite, for producing a quality product in the United States.
According to the description, the lid is "leak-proof" and "controls vapor and spills. " That is a complete fabrication. The lid goes over the nozzle, it doesn t screw on, and if the tank leans / falls over it will 100% leak and gasoline WILL spill out , that is a% Why didn't you use a rubber gasket instead? I must say, however, that it is still better built than the other brand, being more durable.
It's a real gas can that you're looking at. I've got the plastic ones with the weird spouts that either don't work or require two hands to pour from. In the summer heat, the plastic ones dry crack, and they easily tip over, especially when being transported for a fill up. To get the plastic spouts on and off, you have to fight with them. This is unbeatable; it won't tip over, seals tightly, and is incredibly simple to open and close. To fuel my equipment, I use a fuel transfer pump, and the lid on this one holds the transfer pump shaft for me, allowing me to fuel with just one hand. I'll be using these to replace all of my overpriced plastic junk.
