No-Spill 1405 2-1/2-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB & EPA Approved)




No-Spill 1405 2-1/2-Gallon Poly Gas Can (CARB & EPA Approved)

Costs twice as much as the cheap ones, but it's probably the best can on the market of this type.,
Granted, these cost two or even three times as the cheap Blitz CARB cans sold in the discount stores.

I've used these cans for over five(5) years. The original ones still work. I've tried nearly all the others, but none compares with the ease and convenience of this one. I am a contractor who uses small engine equipment almost daily. This is the one that has lasted.

The onle caveat that I have is that care must be used in tighening the top. The gasket is very thin and fragile. You have to seat it by raising the black outer sleeve and making sure that the seal contacts both the top of the red body and the yellow sleeve, before tightening the black sleeve. Otherwise you will tear or destroy the gasket.

The people at No-Spill were kind enough to send me several gaskets for FREE, until I fighered out the right technique.

Now, I purchase 2 inch ID 1/8 section Viton "O" ring from Graingers that are a lot more durable than the square cut gaskets.

The can is not perfect but nearly so.

So, if you want performance and the convenience of easy to use, get this one. It's worth the money and you won't be sorry. It's money well spent.
