Gasoline Cans

Yes a little expensive but well worth the money, Well made, very safe transport can. In fact a lot of construction sites I go to will not let you bring in gas unless they are Justrite cans.. That pretty much says it all

Ok. After reading the reviews I wasn't sure what to do. Like many others I am SICK of the cheap expensive red plastic gas cans with the terrible snouts that don't work. So I headed to the reviews about this Justrite 2 gal can. I didn't need a big 5 gal size, and this 2 gal was right for me...manageable & not heavy when filled with gasoline. At the time I bought this, there were only two reviews. One was 5 star, the other 1 star. How do you decide from two extreme positions?? I agree with the 1 star rating reviewer as I do NOT want to buy a China product and get a substandard product. Shoot, I do not even want to buy from china period because I would rather support other USA citizens with my loyalty and money. But there are two things that 1 star review brought up: 1. China made means usually a Substandard product. Unfortunately I cannot find any fault or cheapness in this can. It's tough, well made, powder coating paint is great and the gas seals are flawless. 2. The reviewer claimed the ad description claims to say the can is made in USA. I looked carefully and maybe they changed the description in the fews months when he did his review, but I do NOT see a claim of USA made. Instead, I do see the statement..."The company, founded in 1906, is headquartered in Des Plaines, IL." In other words, an American company Justrite outsourced this 2gal blue can to China and didn't tell us made in China,... nor did they say made in USA either. They just got us thinking USA. I do think that every product should have a country of origin so we know as consumers where it was made. I do think this can's description is misleading to tout the company being US based almost as if implying this can is made in the US then not really saying but just implying it. That is marketing misdirection... and a form of deception. This happens a lot these days & I have to read things very carefully to pin down country of manufacture and not just look where the company headquarters are located. Fortunately we can still share our reviews freely with each other,...but for how long I wonder. So bottom line, I have to give it 5 stars. Built like a tank. Given the cheap labor in China this can would be more fairly priced about 30$ for this 2 gal size. But @ 56 & free ship it's actually priced MORE than the larger Justrite 5 gal size I just bot from amazon.com. One last note: Amazon gave 5-6 diff vendors offering this item. But I intentionally bot from Amazon.com & not one of the competing vendors. Sometimes outside vendors are hard to deal with in case of return (as other reviewers of similar cans indicated) so I bot from in-house Amazon for best customer service. BOTT LINE: great can, convenient size, strong spring loaded fill cap opens 3/4 (safety feature). I just temporarily block it open with a wooden wedge if I need to keep it open for filling. Top quality, easy pour, high price, yes made in China. EARNS 5-STARS.

Extremely high quality, super easy to fill without overfilling, you just squeeze to start and release just before it fills. You want to stop the floe a few seconds before it's full, it will drain the nozzle after the valve is shut.

For something that seems like such a simple and utilitarian item, upgrading to an all-metal type 2 gas can is one of the most satisfying purchases I recall making recently. Every single time I pull this thing out to fill it I'm just delighted by its effectiveness. It's sturdy, never spills a drop of gas, stands upright and lets me insert the autofill nozzle from the gas pump and shuts off when it hits 5 gallons just like filling a car. If you do anything where you regularly need gas I can't tell you how happy you will be, just go ahead and buy it you will not regret the extra money compared to all the wasteful plastic ones you've probably seen come and go over the years. I can't believe I'm raving about a gas can but it is really really a quality item.

Excellent fuel can, no vapor release or spills when pouring. Pours very well! Store fuel with confidence.

Rather pricey for a gas can, but I guess that you get what you pay for. I had a similar steel but non-safety gas can and when the plastic filler spout broke I couldn't get a replacement spout. Bought a cheap plastic gas can which had a rigid spout that must be telescoped to pour--it was a total disaster; spilled gas whenever I tried to use it. Kind of scary, and I was sure relieved when I got to throw it in the trash. This Justrite is a solid, sturdy can that won't turn over in the car trunk or pickup bed. I haven't actually used it myself to fill the mower tank but my grandson tells me that it works just fine. The only fault is: you almost need an assistant to help fill it at the gas station. The filler neck has a spring loaded, hinged cap and the spring is so strong that you pretty well need two hands, one to open the cap and the other to keep the can from sliding or rotating, plus a third hand to operate the gas pump nozzle. Or, you can use your foot to jam the can against your vehicle tire to hold the can in place. The can also has a lovely paint job. I sort of dithered between giving it four or five stars, but I think that an item should have NO faults to merit five stars. Someone wrote that the can is made in China, but my can was made in Mattoon, IL. One more thing: I went to my local hardware store and bought a rubber stopper to keep dirt and insects out of the pouring spout.

passed all the certification my insurance required for my repair shop

Best fuel can I have found on the market. Pros: They just work great. All metal construction, good paint, and fantastic valves that can accurately release fuel at the speed you want - from a trickle to wide open. They do not tip, and are just a quality gas can! Hard to find good quality gas cans, but Justrite still makes them! Con: The fill port is spring loaded with a fairly strong spring and does not have a lock open feature for filling. Not a deal breaker, but a little inconvenient if filling from anything other than a metal dispenser nozel.

Good overall. No damage in shipping.

I ordered this Justrite can 3 times and canceled, kind of worried spending $190 Canadian for a small top-up gas can is not justified. Today, my type 2 2.5 gallons can have arrived, and I tested it. It is easier to control and operate than a plastic can. It is solid, well built, and felt safer to operate itself. Well worth the price.
