This gas can is horrible. Good luck pouring it into anything by yourself. It states to press and hold the red safety tab, then physically push the entire spring-loaded spout downward against the edge of your fuel tank. It’s just too much of a hassle to deal with especially trying to do all this at once with a full gas can. When I went to pour the gas into my lawnmower the gas started leaking from where the cap screws on all over the place. Gas didn’t come out of the spout, but managed to come out from the cap.

does the job i need it to

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.

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.
