    A: Michael, we do not recommend this, once gas is inside the can to do that, we suggested adding the dust cap on the top and keep the spout screwed on the can for use.

Q: Does anyone sell gas cans that are not spill proof anymore? Just a cap on the end ? I want old type. These new ones are a pain.

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi, Thanks for reaching out. We do not carry any of the older style gas cans. The primary goal of the EPA redesign was to reduce the leakage of gasoline fumes into the air. The older gas can spouts were a flexible straw design, and this was incredibly easy to pour from. They may have also been leading to the evaporation of gas into the atmosphere. Therefore 99% of what is on the market now, are the newer style cans.

REPLACE THE SPOUT

5 years ago
All of the bad reviews have one thing in common: the spout. Unfortunately, in 2007, the government mandated these self-sealing spouts on all new gas cans. Thankfully, you can still buy good old fashioned spouts online to replace them.

Horrible design

5 years ago
Why couldn't we just leave gas cans alone and let idiots kill themselves? This has to be the worst design of a gas can the world has ever seen...and why? Because of lawyers. You know what, I'd rather sign a waiver and buy an old school gas can than have to deal with some idiotic design that doesn't work.

Great price, decent can

2 months ago
There’s not too many options out there for this price, can’t beat the price, this is no different than all these other cans out there with these horrible spouts, in order to work properly, you either have to modify the spout or get a non-safety spout, also you can get a small vent kit for these cans. That helps them flow much better once that’s done. It’s a great can.

Poor quality

2 months ago
I really wanted to like this Midwest Can 5 gal. Gasoline Can, especially at this price point and the fact that it's locally available at multiple retailers like Tractor Supply. Those are basically the only good things about it. Unfortunately, the quality is terrible. The seal around the cap wears out and starts leaking quickly. The depress mechanism on the spout is finicky and difficult to operate properly. Worst of all, the seam on the handle cracks and leaks after very little use. This is a very poor quality product. Avoid this brand entirely and spend a little more for something that will actually last.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Nuisance to Fill

3 months ago
The good news is that it doesn't leak. The bad news is that it's a pain in the neck to fill. Because of the screen in the opening, gas from a pump splashes up and causes the pump to shut off. You have to hold the can at a particular angle and pump sloooooooowly.

Excellent customer service

10 months ago
I purchased 3 of these gas cans. When I got them home I discovered one can wasn't like the other two. A white plastic liner was missing from this can. Upon calling Midwest Can, I was told the liner was called a Flame Mitigation Device which is required on new gas cans. This device is inserted by a machine during the manufacture process. The customer service agent was surprised that this device was missing from the can. I took a picture of the spout opening to show the FMD was absent and one of the bottom where a manufacture date was stamped. After a couple of days I received an email that my claim was approved. I about a week a new can was delivered to my house. This is the kind of customer service I wish more companies would offer. Thanks to MIdwest.

Why you should pick a different brand!!

a year ago
Do not buy this gas can. I have purchased a one gallon and five gallon recently and the gaskets that seal the spout assembly and the can are failing. I have exchanged both cans. The five gallon can twice and the one gallon can once. I'm fixing to take them back and get a refund or exchange them for a brand that doesn't leak all over my hands and generator. So much for safest cans if you can't even make a basic seal.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Do a recall and redesign!

HORRIBLE nozzle design! You need 3 hands. 2 hands to hold and support a full 5 gal can of gas, while holding it completely upside down. Then 1 more hand to release the nozzle lock while the can is upside down. Or you can bother a neighbor to come over and help you fill your mower!

No, I do not recommend this product.
