Those Justrite cans definitely look legit, but after skimming through some of the reviews they are not immune to issues/complaints. I saw at least a couple reports of them weeping from the rolled seam between the tank side and bottom. Internal corrosion/contamination was another complaint.

Having a penetration below the natural fuel level is something that bugs me about the Surecan. Transferring fuel from the station to a machine probably wouldn't bother me, but storing fuel in one long term would make me a little nervous.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to keep an eye on that as time goes on. Probably go ahead and empty some fuel out into a clear cup every now and again.

One thing for the home gamers that transport fuel in an enclosed vehicle, Metal cans with spring loaded lids will vent pressure/fumes by design. Something to be aware of.
Great call out. I slowly let the fumes vent out whenever I know the gas can was sitting in the shed during the summer months. Mine also has a lot of moving parts but knock on wood no issues yet.
