BEAST!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Talk about a do it all gas container, this has already been my keep in the truck container for multiple reasons. 1 it is a great size and design for a 5g container which fits awesome in my tacoma. 2 it makes fueling easy while I'm out on my land scoping routes and need to top off a trimmer, edger, or mower. I can't wait to buy another for my two stroke fuel on the route. Amazing.

Not your typical gas can!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gas can is a far cry from the big, heavy, metal gas cans of my childhood! This SmartControl 5-gal Gas Container is light and extremely ergonomically friendly which makes handling and pouring much easier! The cap and leak-proof valves ensure that no gas is ever spilled during transport.

great can, terrible, difficult ot use, leaky spout

I bought a couple of these for my garden tractors and generators, what a mistake, nearly impossible to get gas to pour into either my Ariens zero turn or garden tractor witout spilling everywhere. I ended up buying a couple of plain aftermarket gas caps and a strainer funnel and fill it the old fasion way. At least the old army style steel jerry cans can be sealed against leakage with a good gasket and you can see how much gas is going into the tank past the good old reliable spout. Someone needs to shoot the designer of these new "Safety spouts" since they are all a PITA and frustrating to attempt to use.

Hi Olddalt1 - We apologize for your experience. Customer satisfaction is very important to Scepter. We STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST using this can with the modifications you’ve described. Similar to medication packaging, gas/diesel cans must also adhere to strict child resistance packaging laws. All fuel containers sold in the United States must come equipped with a child-safety lock and adhere to environmental regulations (EPA). This product should only be used with the spout it came with at the time of purchase. Every automobile/equipment is different, so it is not a one size fits all situation. The SMARTCONTROL gas can, is designed to be used with your palm. Step 1: Vent the fuel can by slowly unscrewing the cap, allow all the pressure to escape. Once vented re-tighten cap. You may find that placing the fuel can flat on the ground and actuating the spout once or twice prior to use may allow the green pad to slide easier during operation. Step 2: Flip up dark lever on back of spout with your palm. Step 3: With the dark green lever still flipped up, push the entire light green pad forward. It will be stiff as that is part of the child resistant feature. Again, you may find that placing the fuel can flat on the ground and actuating the spout once or twice prior to use may allow the green pad to slide easier during operation. Step 4: Tilt can and pour. This can has a flow rate of 3+ gallons per minute when actuated fully. The “screen” you see in the neck of the fuel can is actually a safety device called a flame mitigation device (FMD). Its inclusion in fuel containers is part of a 2020 U.S. law to improve overall safety. It does not make it safe to mix Gas and Fire, which remains extremely dangerous, but helps to protect the consumer against situations of potential misuse. Do not ever remove or modify the FMD. We understand that filling the containers now requires the user to learn to rest the pump in the center of the FMD, on the steps, to fill at full speed. The spout has a channel for venting when pouring. You can also choose simply to take your time filling the container. We have posted both fill and pour instructions online at https://www.scepter.com/safety/instructional-videos/ which should help. Please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-387-6018 or email customerservice@scepter.com if we can be of any further assistance. We are here to help!

Great Container, Spout is awful

I'm happy with the actual container, but the crazy contraption of a pour spout stinks! They began leaking after the first refill. On the five gallon jugs it is difficult to operate the spout with one hand and hold the jug up,with the other hand. (We changed out the pour spout and vent with 'old time' replacements from Amazon.)

Best Design Yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been handling gas cans for years and this dispensing system is by far the simplest and easiest to use. Keeps gas in the can until I want it to pour out. The handles on the top and side make it great for filling and manuevering over tank inlets. I liked this enough that I got a second smaller one for my 2 cycle fuel. Good secure sealing so I can transport in trunk or van without the fumes or spilling

Great Can

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scepter-5 gallon Smart Control gas container is a very good product. The filler spout is easy to get on and off, even with safety lock. The pouring button works very well to keep from spilling gas. The rear handle is a great feature for pouring gas easily.

Very nice gasoline container

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a gasoline container, but the ones I’ve had in the past were always hard to get the gasoline out because of the spout. The 5G smart control has container has a spout that is much easier to use and the rear handle makes it much easier to hold. I really like this gas container.
