Check out my review of the No-Spill 5 g gas can. I did a review of the 2.5 model about a year ago and decided to buy the 5g version. I put the can through a series of tests to see how it holds up. One thing I noticed with both gas cans, is that I felt like I snugged the cap down sufficiently the first time I filled it and noticed that it leaked fuel slightly around the thread seal. I loosened the cap and to inspect it and tightened it a little more. It's never leaked since that time, for both cans. It appears the caps need to be taken on and off a few times to get it to snug down properly. That's just my take on it. Please comment with your experience.
I hope you enjoy this video. If so, please give it a Thumbs Up.
Thanks for watching!
I put the extension hose and the yellow vent caps on mine and they are now perfect. The extension hose makes it easy to fill cars and the vent cap makes it flow really fast. The vent cap and extension hose can be found on ebay under gas can. The only can better is the Justrite Type ll Safety Can, but they are pricey. I highly recommend the No-Spill and the Justrite Type ll gas cans.
I was thinking about getting a extension hose in case I need to fill a car or truck. I ended up getting a Sure Can, so I'm covered. The 2.5 No-Spill is my favorite for line trimmers and backpack blowers.
Good common sense review - thanks! Just placed my order from one after I finished washing the gasoline off my hands from filling with my old can.
Hey Mark, I called the company about the leaking issue when I received about 6 of the 5 gallon cans and one of the smaller ones for 2 stroke engines. They said believe it or not to turn the pour nozzle with the black cap both at the same time and then snug it down and then spin the pour nozzle around where you want it and it will not leak...it seats the O ring. They were right.
Thanks, I will try that!
Thanks for the review. I think I'll get one now. All my gas cans leak and run down my vehicle or me. Plus, they take forever to pour out.
+Chip LeVan I finally got fed up with those other ones too. Let me know how it works out. Thanks!
Thank you for this. I am buying one right now.
Good choice! They're so much better than the cheap gas cans that take practically 3 hands to use.
Nice review Mark! Thanks 😃👍
+ScoutCrafter You're welcome, thanks!
I have two older 2-1/2 and one 5 gallon No Spill cans that I purchased about 4 years ago. When I use them on my Honda lawn mower, they spill over. I have tried every way to fill and it still does it. I contacted the company a few years ago and I talked to a man who got verbally abusive. No need to get defensive if your product does what it is supposed to do.
Dear CARB,
Kiss the most distal part of my digestive tract.
-Everyone ever
Hahaha!
i bought a 2.5 gallon one to fill up weedeater and blower. really good reviews on amazon, the on/off is perfect. buying a 5 gallon one for mower. I normally like to use VP racing jugs.
I ended up switching to another brand for filling my mower with 5 gallons. I still prefer the 2.5 for all my smaller equipment. It's a nice on/off design. The auto shut-off doesn't always work, so I'm careful not to overflow it.
My only concern/ question is: How can you pour in majority of the gas to the tank when your gas can is only able to be tilted in a limited range due to the design of the nozzel. Like you can NOT keep raising the can higher since the nozzle is inserted, you see what Im trying to say? Please tell me what you think and thank you. :)
I can pour all the gas from the can into my mowers. A vehicle may require a nozzle extender. I've seen them for sale, but haven't bought one, since I seem to get by.
I have a 2.5, they are great!
+ScienceGiraffe They're a little expensive, but worth it. You get what you pay for... Right?
+markthomasbuilder I think they're the best of all these safety devices gas cans have these days, they also dont break
Well done..!!!!..))....
+Corcoran AL Thank you, sir!
Every time i see an old plastic Gott can with the vent on the back , out in someone's garbage, I stop the car and grab it. CARB has reduced me to a guy that gets excited about older gas cans. Damn these people to hell!!! LoL. People look at me like WTF?! It ain't gold
That's awesome, I don't blame you for grabbing it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Amazon has Gott replacement part for older cans. Im guessing old cans are grandfathered in. Last summer found one in garbage with bad vent cap. I got those thin Briggs & Stratton cans too. Great for behind seat for travel to gas station. The burping is nuts. Takes too long to empty things start splashing.... Some guy turned me on to drilling a 1/2" hole in rear where like vent would be... Then u put in a tire valve stem then remove valve and use cap to close off. When u pour just screw off valve cap. Make sure to install valve stem just like u would in a wheel by pulling from inside to out. California can kiss my.... Cali infested with bums crapping and peeing on street used needles everywhere. But I'm sure I'd be arrested for modifying gas can. California has got its priorities in order. 🥴
I found a video with the tire stem idea and tried it out. It worked well for awhile, but over time the rubber deteriorated from the fumes in the can. It's crazy how much the cans have changed.
@@MarkThomasBuilder nitrile valves would be the trick. Doubt they make them. Screw it. Just replace as needed . RockTrix 12 pack Amazon under $9
probably have to use a long funnel when pouring in a vehicle to push the little flapper open then gas can spout won't get hung up on nozzle. one thing i noticed when filling can at gas station you got to go real slow cause if you go too fast gas will overfill probably because of the screen inside the tank. i come to the conclusion all new gas cans suck my nospill can leaked twice when filling can at gas station and when filling mower it leaked from spout removed spout it appeared o ring was not down far enough pushed it down farther with a screwdriver screwed it back on didn't leak that time!
correct - this is piece of s...t
Nice your in Michigan. I used to live in Michigan but I moved to NC. Where are you in Michigan. I was in Livonia.
I'm near Lansing. We had a little bit of snow already. I'm sure you don't have to worry about that anymore :D
markthomasbuilder yeah!
On the can it sayes not for road use vehicles
Huh, I haven't noticed that... Maybe because the spout isn't made to fit a vehicle?
I've used mine on my car several times through out the 3yrs I've owned it. No problems. I turn the can completely upside down.
did you try to use FULL 5Gal can and pour to the car? it takes ages and your hand fall off.... not for use with cars!
I bought an extension for my car but never use it on anything except my lawn mower. I have other cans for my vehicles, like the Justrite.
I sure wish i could buy just an old fasioned gas can with the long metal nozzel and none of that vent nonsense. heck im just filling kerosene. and yes the one i have makes it hard to acually use it on a car
If you want to make a big dollar one time purchase for a great fuel can, check out the Justrite that I did a review on. I think it's better than the old metal ones. You don't get any fuel on your hands when using it and if it spills over, nothing. leaks out. It's fast for dispensing fuel too.
@@MarkThomasBuilder great choice, i saw those at a farm and home supply. Pricey but nice
Line trimmer lol. Weed eater dude. Let’s be real.
Depends on the region as to what it's called. I called them a weed whip when I was a kid.
markthomasbuilder 😂🤣
This can has an issue with overflowing and now I see it sticks I’ll not biy this, seems like garbage
I don't try to use the overflow feature anymore, but find it useful if I control the flow myself. I like the 2.5 can for my mixed fuel. I use another 5g can for my mowers.
