I spent a dozen years fighting wildfire and when it came time to do some serious clearing of my private land, I figured I'd grab one of these tried and true cans. Problem: Between my last fire and today, some idiot bureaucrat mandated that we have "low emission" gas cans. The child proof ratchet is just stupid; the clearances are poorly executed and it is difficult for an adult to manipulate. Out comes the pocket knife; off goes that bit of stupidity. But it gets worse--the "spillproof" nozzle is chock full of crevices and moving parts--hit this thing with a blast of chips from your saw, or dust from a passing truck, and you'll wind up sloshing gas out of your can to try and get the crap out of the crevices before you reverse it an immerse it in your fuel or oil. S-T-U-P-I-D comes to mind. And the "dust caps" have no flange on them, so they sit loosely on top of the nozzle when reversed--as if this thing is going to sit on a shelf and never be bumped, jostled, moved, carried, or tossed out of a helicopter (don't ask). In short, this "carb compliant" can creates far more problems than any leaky saw gas can ever created, and the doofus who designed it should be the designated catcher for the next tree I fall....

My wife bought this gas can for me as a birthday present. I'm not sure what the designers were thinking when this came off the drawing board, but do not waste your money on this piece of junk. The pour spout jams. The screw on spouts leak. The spring loaded cut off is almost impossible to manipulate. The chain oil compartment takes forever to let the chain oil pass through. I worked for about 2 hours to try to figure out what I was doing wrong, when I realized its' not me. One of the most poorly designed gas cans in existence. Keep your old gas can, and steer clear of this mess.

The spouts are very difficult to use. This item was purchased for use with a chainsaw, and the bar oil takes forever to run out the tip of the spout and is VERY messy and awkward. It takes two hands to operate and is near impossible to keep neat and clean.

I was a fool to purchase this, i figured Gas in one side bar oil in the other, simple right? WRONG! The C.A.R.B. idiots figured a way to make this thing even more frustrating by using the same nozzles for both fluids! The bar oil takes forever to dispense. plus you can't put the nozzles back in for safe keeping leaving the nozzles to just collect dirt that you will pour RIGHT INTO YOUR SAW. Im going to try and get my money back.

Fabulous idea but terrible at the same time. First of all the 2 "halves" should be able to separate. I'm thinking 2 separate containers that can be clipped together for transport. Once at the location where you are working you can then separate them to make it easier to actually use. Which brings me to these spouts. I just spent the second weekend in a row with a bunch cutting new access trails though the woods. Each guy had a different set of cans to hold oil, gas mix, and a larger can for just gas. I'd say out of a dozen, maybe 4 didn't have all the new "safety" features by-passed in one way or another. And every single can even with the safety features bypassed or not leaked almost without exception. The worst offenders were these spouts with the green turn ring and push to dispense. I don't know who designed these devices or who makes them but I will never use or own another. Mine went right into the dumpster this morning and I'm running far away from anything EPA approved or has child resistant features. Its time the government stops budding into things they know nothing about, have false data on, or is supported by the liberal party. Its time to take back our personal rights... DO NOT BUY until they replace the spout with something sensible.
