Scepter FG4RVG5 Military Style 5.3 Gallon Gas Can, Jerry Can Fuel Container with Self-Venting Spout, Red

Two Scepter gas cans I bought last year were so awesome that I bought three this year. 22 dollars were spent on them. There are 50 of them. I needed a third, but they only have this newer version that costs more than twice as much and is absolutely horrid. sort of built-in plastic filter that seems to be fixed to the inside of the fan and the spout does not fit in the opening when the fan is In order to have the spout permanently sticking out, you have to fix it. Because of this awful design it won't fit into my truck because of my utility drawers and topper like the old one did. Additionally, since the plastic filter is inside of the opening, a super siphon cannot be used. For two times the price, this model is far worse than the previous version.

So now I have to buy a new cap that doesn't have a spout that sticks out 7 inches from This one only gets 2 stars because I can use the cap from the other can and I will be able to use the spouts from the other cans. It might be possible to remove the plastic filter from the inside if I tear it out.

It has been a long journey to protect us from ourselves through the efforts of the EPA and others. In this way, you now have virtually all the information you need It is impossible to- This pump should be used. There is a flame arrestor insert in jerry cans, which may make it difficult however, you can do it if you work at it and aren't bothered by a very slow flow But not the way it was before, when the nozzle of the pump was simply inserted into the hole and it was squeezed. In theory, that piece of plastic will come out with only a little effort and the aid of some needle-nose pliers if you don't mind putting yourself at (apparently) great risk A pair of needle-nosed pliers was applied to one of the stiffening-rods There are narrow buttresses inside that you can grab and pull away and it will disappear. As a result, you are also allowed to place the spill-prone items in the vessel A proof-of-concept nozzle can now be installed in the hole, which previously couldn't be done. According to this story, Scepter and government regulations wanted you to leave the nozzle attached to allow you to trip over or catch something, or to leave it uncapped, all the time. It's okay to leave the spout attached if you do not mind, otherwise you can badger them to send you one. In the case of an old can), you could put the spout away and seal the lid as you had in the past. All this said, I think this spout is the best of all the ones I've tried so far My experience spills over into others Using it is easy, and it is a nice, large shelf for the trigger. It also flows well and is easy to enable. You get a sturdy jerry can at a reasonable price if you like it exactly as it came. Ideally, it will allow you to stow the nozzle and seal it when not in use (no rain pouring it must have the ability to tilt up and rest on that ledge. Without those inhibitions and with the ability to tilt it up, make it the Canadian model but keep the spill-proof capability. Nozzles that can be controlled easily and are proof.

This water jug is lighter and thinner than a military water jug I have, though they are similar in style. However, all the other options available here in California stink too, so don't be too hard on the spout that they provide. With a screwdriver, you can pop the fire filter thing off, which keeps you from siphoning. If you are interested in buying the EZ-Stop, click here Use a gas can cap to take away the spout, and you can get rid of it completely. I think it is the best gas can available in California, but it is not perfect. While I wish you could still buy the real military fuel cans (not the metal ones but the modern plastic ones), this is what you'll have to make do with.

The product is very well built, solidly constructed. I had them in the back of my truck for a week-long road trip across the desert. Just a few very minor scratches from bumping up against the grill as I held The safety spout works fine, but they do have a hazard indicator. The cap is not vented, so it takes a while to get the fuel from the can, but it is convenient. I purchased a cap separately so I don't have the spout exposed all the time. This is why I gave it 4 stars.

The seams are tight and there are no leaks detected. My car has a roof rack, so I mounted it to the roof rack for a trip to the mountains. Being left outside for 20 hours was enough for it to survive the few hundred miles there Temperatures hovered around 50 degrees (fahrenheit) throughout most of the trip, and the trip back was extremely hot. While filling my car at the pump, I found the safety features which a lot of people complain about did not pose a problem, but I do recommend that you fill it slowly at the pump, as the plastic safety grate inside the mouth allows for fuel to splash out. If you buy them at Amazon, make sure to get the plain yellow plastic caps. Leaving the spout in place during transport is not ideal.

Will post an update after considering it for a while. In the future, I will buy another if I need.

Although I see the fuel filter described in the product description, it never occured to me that it would block electric pumps (I use a TERA pump at the boat dock). If you use an object like a long needle to remove the filter, it is easy to do so To get a firm grip on the fins of the filter, use a nose pliers. It will come right out if you pull it.
