Got tired of spilling fuel and decided it was time to upgrade. My first impression is this thing is built like a tank. I can't wait to put it to good use this year.

What did that cost? I love a solid gas can. They seem hard to come by.

 

[Reel Low Dad]

@pennstater2005 I spent $53.73 from amazon on her. This is the 5 gallon one

I like these. Simple, built like a tank. 5 gallon model available for around $35.

I like these too, but have never been able to get the "no-spill" feature to work right. It's a good can nonetheless.

 

[Reel Low Dad]

I have a 1 gallon with that nozzle for my trimmer. I love it.

I like a good gas can too. Does that have a pump? I am interested in not having to lift five gallons of gasoline these days.
I have a no spill Jill can but I haven't used it yet. I have a couple of five gallon Jerry Cans. They were either Eagle or Justrite.
But they don't seem to make them any more.

On the other hand, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES buy THIS piece of doodoo:

It aggravated my son so much he poured the gas into another can and cut it up. I investigated it post mortem and
realized that they have achieved a gas can that actually requires an instructional video. Must have been a committee design. Absolutely the dumbest thing I have ever bought.

This is the one I have currently. One 2.5 gallon and one 1.25 gallon. I have other various crappy ones that I need to get rid of.

@Fistertondeluxe Buy once cry once. I'll be checking those out. I would like some smaller versions preferably the 1.25 gallon if available. That way I don't keep too much gas on hand and it is generally fresher that way as well.

I was about to post on your Instagram that you needed to do a review for the forum
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I will most likely be in need of a new can this year. Have to imagine this is what I will be getting.

Try pressing the button to vent any built up pressure before pouring. That's the most common issue I hear/see.

I plan on that. I was hoping to be able to use it when I break out the tiller shape my backyard but the rain coming pumped the breaks on that plan. Hopefully in the coming weeks I will have time to use it and do a proper write up and maybe video.

Also @Fistertondeluxe ,

I will be watching with a bit of interest as my first impression after seeing these was "waaaay to complicated for this guy" :lol:

The only improvement I'd like over No Spill Jill's cans (you're welcome fellas....) would be pour speed. That's pretty easily rectified but I'd be interested in an OEM solution.

 

[Movingshrub]

@MasterMech

No spill Jill's cans are great.

No problems in my eyes.

I bought a few of these Old School Fuel Spouts several years ago from Tractor Supply to convert some of my new POS gas cans that I just bought as those EPA valves are a PIA to use as you all know. They are real simple to install and you can fill up a tank with fuel in no time without having to push any buttons :thumbup:

I also have one of these Eagle 1 Gallon Steel gas can that I use for all my Stihl equipment, it's a great gas can but it's a little awkward filling it up.

 

[chrismar]

I've been using a racing fuel can and spout for the last 4 years. None of that EPA BS to worry about and no spills either.

I do always get strange comments from the gas station attendants when I get it filled. That's been the only downside.

(Yes, I have to get it filled. It's illegal to pump your own gas in NJ.)

What's the fine for pumping your own gas?

I had a friend from Oregon(who has the same stupid law) that drove from Oregon to NC after he got out of training in the Army and when he stopped to get fuel in another state, he pulled up to the pump and just sat there waiting for someone to come pump the gas for him :lol: He finally figured it out and pumped his own gas :thumbup:

 

[g-man]

So if it is -10f there is no need to get out of car?

Ive pumped my own gas in NJ while traveling. How is this enforce?

 

[chrismar]

Correct, -10, no worries. Stay in and wait.

It isn't really enforced, at least not that I've experienced. There's been a few circumstances where I'm running late, or at the Mrs' urging, I've pumped my own gas in NJ.

@Mightyquinn Fines start at $50 and go up to $500 for multiple offenders.

 

[chrismar]

Just found this gem from an article when NJ became the only state to keep gas pumping illegal (after Oregon started allowing it last year) [emphasis mine]:

Q: What is the penalty if you are caught pumping your own gas?

A: We asked Thomas Wright, a spokesman for the state labor department, and he said violators face a fine that ranges between $50 and $250 for a first offense and fines up to $500 for subsequent offenses.

But here's the catch: the driver pumping their own gas doesn't get ticketed. Instead, the dealer who runs the gas station is cited for the violation under the law, if they fail to stop the illegal pumper.

Even that is a moot point, because no summonses have been issued to anyone, Wright said.

"We have not received any reports regarding this violation, thus no summons have been issued in recent history," he said.
