    Great design, beats competition by far, and gasket included! May require care during use.
    I decided on this can, despite the numerous poor reviews, because I thought the design of the nozzle was just too good to pass up, and I'm happy to report my satisfaction, as well as a couple of tips for use; having bought the dreaded 5-gallon model plagued with leaking issues at the cap (according to other reviews), I was relieved to discover that mine came with a gasket, and, despite some rigorous tests, refused to leak. I'd almost give this 5 stars, but there are a couple of things to watch out for, so it's not perfect out of the box.The nozzle works as conveniently as demonstrated in the product video, though you may wish to consider your can size carefully if you share my T-rex upper body build. Also, save your wrist; don't forget that there's a handle on the back end of the can.The auto-stop feature is a lifesaver, especially for devices with narrow fill openings that are inevitably impossible to peer into to see the fill level. If you can't jam the nozzle far enough down whatever container you're filling due to clearance, any snug, airtight hose extension (skip the one sold by the company and cut a custom length of tubing at a hardware store) will maintain the auto-stop function; simply hold down the button, and the flow will stop once the gas level reaches the end of the hose (and the hose fills up).Over 6 years later, I can also confirm that this can passes the test of time sitting outdoors (with a roof over it). Both the cap and the nozzle mechanism work just fine, and while the can body has rounded out somewhat due to long-term internal pressurization, the base remains flat and steady, and the material itself is showing no signs of giving out.Finally, a few tips for buyers:1. Whatever size you choose, definitely check the bottom of the cap for a gasket when you receive your can. (Mine is now dark brown, but it may have been black 6 years ago.) If it doesn't have one, don't settle―it WILL leak at some point. Either get a replacement, your money back from Amazon, (yes, that qualifies as defective, it's missing parts and leaks) or go to a hardware store and get your own if you want to save the time and trouble. If you go the DIY route, though, be careful; some gasket materials may get eaten up by gasoline over time.2. When screwing the cap on, be sure the yellow body is seated against the threaded black ring correctly. The one time mine leaked was when relatives used it in my absence, and haphazardly replaced the cap. The yellow body can be out of position even if the black part is not cross-threaded. The easy way to prevent this is to pull directly up on the yellow part while screwing the black ring down. The ratchet strip on the black ring should engage more than halfway if the cap is correctly seated.3. Don't overfill. If it's rated for 5 gallons, it'll hold that much. These cans are designed with airspace at the top to accommodate outgassing up to a certain internal pressure, so if you fill it too far you'll literally blow a gasket.4. If you store this can outside while significantly less than full, you run the risk of it collapsing due to pressure drops driven by seasonal temperature changes. Avoid storing this can for long periods while only partially full. If you wish to leave it empty, loosen the cap somewhat to allow air flow.P.S. I have seen reports that the auto-shutoff feature may not work unless the green button is depressed completely (i.e. maximum flow). I have not tested this myself, as I've always pushed it in all the way.20190613 UPDATE: I saw a few of these cans on the shelf of a local hardware store, and upon trying the lids out of curiosity, I discovered that manufacturing tolerances are lax enough that, if you're unlucky with the combination of can and lid you get, they won't want to seat together correctly. (I was able to resolve the incompatibility by swapping lids around.) Out of the box, you can test for this by following my advice above, and additionally checking that both the black thread ring and yellow lid body are level with the red shoulder of the can opening below the threads.I also recommend testing your can's sealing ability before adding any fuel, since gasoline renders it un-mailable and makes getting a refund/replacement more annoying:1. Add at least a cup of fresh, refrigerated, carbonated beverage of your choice to the can. (Baking soda and vinegar or water and dry ice will also work if you can keep them separate until step 3.)2. Replace can lid (following advice above).3. Invert the can so that the beverage inside covers all the sealing surfaces around and inside the lid.4. Allow the beverage to reach room temperature.5. Shake the can while upside down.6. While keeping the can upside down, check for beverage leaks, bubbling, and hissing around the sealing surfaces of the lid. If any are found, fail.If the can fails, either try re-seating the lid and re-testing, or get the can replaced. If it passes the test, rinse out the can and lid, and dry completely before use.20231122 UPDATE: My original can (as shown in the pictures) has now clocked over 11 years, and continues to serve me well. It appears that the cans sold today have undergone some redesigns (e.g. the green button is no longer cylindrical like mine), and while what I wrote above still applies, I now have some additional notes:- There appear to be some quality control issues with seams on later iterations of the can. If you follow my recommended testing procedure above, make sure that your can is actually holding pressure. It should audibly release a puff of gas if you right the can and press the green button after successfully completing step 6.- Further experimentation (with other cans) has revealed that the nozzle's auto-stop ability can be defective independently of the can's ability to hold pressure. Using my procedure, you can also test the auto-stop function at the end, while you're rinsing the can out. If your can can hold pressure, yet you still cannot reproduce the flow stoppage shown by "No Spill Jill" in the product videos, you have a defective nozzle, which, again, is grounds for a replacement.- Something, something, "government", "spark arrestor": it looks like all newer cans are saddled with an aggravating white plastic basket in the neck. Luckily, there is a straightforward way to modify the basket for easy removal:You will need a bright flashlight, a hammer, and a long (over 5㎝), narrow (no more than about 1㎝), thin (less than 3㎜), flat, and preferably somewhat sharp metal object, such as a cheap pair of tweezers, a small chisel, a tiny flat-head screwdriver, or a (skinny) box cutter blade.Shine your flashlight through the wall of the (hopefully dry and empty) can from the outside, and look at the basket from the inside to locate the shadows of the two locking tabs holding the basket in place.Once you have found the tabs, work your metal object down from the top between the basket and the neck of the can until you feel it jam against the lower end of a tab, where it joins with the basket; expect significant resistance at the start, since you must force your metal implement past an internal lip that keeps the basket from dropping into the can.With your metal object resting against the tab, use your hammer to tap directly down on it to shear the tab off. (You'll probably hear the tab drop to the bottom of the can if you succeed.) Depending on how narrow your implement is, you may have to reposition and repeat a few times, and, of course, you will have to do both tabs.After both tabs are dealt with, the basket should pull out with relative ease; a jar opener to grip both inner mesh walls, or a stiff wire/hook hooked through the uppermost mesh holes should suffice to pull it loose.

    Style: Gas CanVerified Purchase
    OK, I know, it is "just" a fuel container, but with all the regulations being forced on us and the industry, CARB compliant containers are also "just" not made equally, however this little beauty gets high marks for design and features and when matched with a companion flexible nozzle (ordered seperatly) it for me then becomes PERFECT.

    Like you are doing right now I started reading reviews on various portable fuel containers, all the new regulations on ventable containers really set the market into a tizzy to be compliant and they all seemed to have "the answer" to the best way to handle fluid disbursement and venting. The two recurring issues that appeared to be common across various manufacturers were 1. SLOW, painfully SLOW to disburse the contents and 2. They leaked.

    A few early reviews (I ordered and used mine in August of 2012) of this manufacturer has some of these same comments, a youtube video also show a video of how that persons leaked around the cap. I can tell you that the manufacturer has listened and made what ever changes they though necessary because I experienced no issues at all. So, onto my observances.

    I ordered this container from Amazon as well as the flexible fill tube, both had free shipping and surprisingly they shipped from the same place in seperate packages, one shipping and arriving two days ahead of the other. Both came adaquatly wrapped and packaged for the contents, lets face it, these are NOT fragile items so cardboard and paper packing were just fine to get them to me without any damage.

    I looked for the locking "teeth" on the cap that others had noted, I find only one tab and it is an easy squeeze to disengage the teeth from the locking pin (molded onto the container). This allows the cap to be twisted open for filling the container. I find this appears to have been a modification to earlier models and for me just posed no problem whatsoever.

    Off to the fuel station to fill the container, remembering how a previous review noted that once filled the sloshing of gas inside while driving back home had leaked from around the cap and into the trunk area of their car. I note the container has 1 - 5 gallon markers on the container (this 5 gallon version does not have a clear strip to see the fluid levels as the smaller versions do), in the light of day it is easy to see a dark shadow line to easily dectect the level of fluid inside the container, in a night setting this may not be as easy BUT the fill hole is very large and easy to see into. I fill the container to the 5 Gallon mark and stop. The container has a larger than 5 Gallon capacity, several inches remain from the 5 Gallon mark to the top of the container but I cautiously leave the air void to ensure no back pressure against the cap on the drive back home. I note the inside of the cap has a black rubber "O" ring, I believe an issue someone noted in the past, but it looks like this may have been a change by the manufacturer as well, not sure. I twist the cap on and click it through a few of the teeth on the cap to insure a tight fit.

    I arrive home from a three mile drive and when I open the trunk I can not even smell gasoline much less see any on the outside of the container. This container has a handle on the top and along the back, nice wide ones, but not so wide that a smaller hand can not securly wrap around them, these handles make it easy to pick up and hold the container, a PLUS as far as I am concerned.

    I am going to fuel my generator, which has a opening on the top - this is going to be a good test of just how useable and liftable this container is going to be having to hold it with one hand and press the release button with the other. I remembered a previous review about the fluid leaking from around the cap and I have some paper towels at the ready.

    VENT VENT VENT, important to do while the container is sitting flat on the ground. I remove the protective cap from the end of the nozzle (it has a molded strap to keep it hanging free and from getting lost) and slowly press the release button, the container vents itself of pressure and no liquid comes flying out, I recommend a slow press of the release button to keep from a massive venting all at once.

    I contemplate using the flexible tube that I ordered, but decide to give it a try without it first. Lifting and tilting the container over 90 degrees I look for any leaks around the cap...NONE at all. I slowly depress the release button and start fueling the generator...still no leaks. I let the relase button go and the fluid flow stop immedietly...still no leaks, I start fueling release again and let it flow at maximum and note it is fast, yet controllable by slowing letting pressure off the relase button. I can regulate the output from a slow trickle to a steady flow with no problems at all. It takes me less than two minutes to release 4 gallons into the generator, some of this time is from stopping and adjusting the flow as well, it would be much faster if I just let it rip until I really needed to stop.

    NO LEAKS, period. I still have some fuel in the container and take it over to my lawn mower, to fill that tank up. This time I test the auto-shutoff feature, I tilt the container over, move the nozzle down into the tank and press the release button, when the fluid level in the gas tank hits the end of the nozzle, just as advertised the flow STOPS, period, it is the same as if I stopped pressing the release button.

    Overall Comments:
    I find the release button a handy feature for more than just the obvious - it allows me to tilt the container and get the nozzle into postion without any leaks or spills and release the fluid when I am ready, not when gravity is ready.

    I find the two handles and their placement to be sturdy and grippable, not danty, not overly large - someone thought this out and found the perfect size to accomodate hand sizes and still handle the weight of a full container.

    Any previous issues noted in early reviews appear to have been addressed, bottom line my container did not leak. The two tabs of teeth for locking the cap in place is down to one on my model and not a problem to use in engageing or disingaging the cap from the container.

    Weight, well folks it IS five gallons, if this is an issue fill it only partially, or get a smaller container version. I did not finde this to be an issue for my use. I will say that my useage is not for a moving object such as a boat, in that instance I would still get this container but use it with a hand pump syphon hose to transfer the fuel from the container into the fuel tank of a moving or rocking object.

    IF you are going to use this container to fill something where the fuel opening is not horizontal to the ground, you will as others noted have an issue dispersing the entire container contents as the nozzle is at a 90 degree angle to the container. For this situation I recommend ordering and using the flexible nozzle extension, I did and so far have not had to use it but can see how it would be necessary for some situations.

    I would purchase the container again, and I would and have recommended to my friends...who have already came to borrow it while theirs is in transit from their order.

    2. When screwing the cap on, be sure the yellow body is seated against the threaded black ring correctly. The one time mine leaked was when relatives used it in my absence, and haphazardly replaced the cap. The yellow body can be out of position even if the black part is not cross-threaded. The easy way to prevent this is to pull directly up on the yellow part while screwing the black ring down. The ratchet strip on the black ring should engage more than halfway if the cap is correctly seated.
    3. Don't overfill. If it's rated for 5 gallons, it'll hold that much. These cans are designed with airspace at the top to accommodate outgassing up to a certain internal pressure, so if you fill it too far you'll literally blow a gasket.
    4. If you store this can outside while significantly less than full, you run the risk of it collapsing due to pressure drops driven by seasonal temperature changes. Avoid storing this can for long periods while only partially full. If you wish to leave it empty, loosen the cap somewhat to allow air flow.

    P.S. I have seen reports that the auto-shutoff feature may not work unless the green button is depressed completely (i.e. maximum flow). I have not tested this myself, as I've always pushed it in all the way.

    20190613 UPDATE: I saw a few of these cans on the shelf of a local hardware store, and upon trying the lids out of curiosity, I discovered that manufacturing tolerances are lax enough that, if you're unlucky with the combination of can and lid you get, they won't want to seat together correctly. (I was able to resolve the incompatibility by swapping lids around.) Out of the box, you can test for this by following my advice above, and additionally checking that both the black thread ring and yellow lid body are level with the red shoulder of the can opening below the threads.

    I also recommend testing your can's sealing ability before adding any fuel, since gasoline renders it un-mailable and makes getting a refund/replacement more annoying:
    1. Add at least a cup of fresh, refrigerated, carbonated beverage of your choice to the can. (Baking soda and vinegar or water and dry ice will also work if you can keep them separate until step 3.)
    2. Replace can lid (following advice above).
    3. Invert the can so that the beverage inside covers all the sealing surfaces around and inside the lid.
    4. Allow the beverage to reach room temperature.
    5. Shake the can while upside down.
    6. While keeping the can upside down, check for beverage leaks, bubbling, and hissing around the sealing surfaces of the lid. If any are found, fail.
    If the can fails, either try re-seating the lid and re-testing, or get the can replaced. If it passes the test, rinse out the can and lid, and dry completely before use.

    20231122 UPDATE: My original can (as shown in the pictures) has now clocked over 11 years, and continues to serve me well. It appears that the cans sold today have undergone some redesigns (e.g. the green button is no longer cylindrical like mine), and while what I wrote above still applies, I now have some additional notes:
    - There appear to be some quality control issues with seams on later iterations of the can. If you follow my recommended testing procedure above, make sure that your can is actually holding pressure. It should audibly release a puff of gas if you right the can and press the green button after successfully completing step 6.
    - Further experimentation (with other cans) has revealed that the nozzle's auto-stop ability can be defective independently of the can's ability to hold pressure. Using my procedure, you can also test the auto-stop function at the end, while you're rinsing the can out. If your can can hold pressure, yet you still cannot reproduce the flow stoppage shown by "No Spill Jill" in the product videos, you have a defective nozzle, which, again, is grounds for a replacement.
    - Something, something, "government", "spark arrestor": it looks like all newer cans are saddled with an aggravating white plastic basket in the neck. Luckily, there is a straightforward way to modify the basket for easy removal:
    You will need a bright flashlight, a hammer, and a long (over 5㎝), narrow (no more than about 1㎝), thin (less than 3㎜), flat, and preferably somewhat sharp metal object, such as a cheap pair of tweezers, a small chisel, a tiny flat-head screwdriver, or a (skinny) box cutter blade.
    Shine your flashlight through the wall of the (hopefully dry and empty) can from the outside, and look at the basket from the inside to locate the shadows of the two locking tabs holding the basket in place.
    Once you have found the tabs, work your metal object down from the top between the basket and the neck of the can until you feel it jam against the lower end of a tab, where it joins with the basket; expect significant resistance at the start, since you must force your metal implement past an internal lip that keeps the basket from dropping into the can.
    With your metal object resting against the tab, use your hammer to tap directly down on it to shear the tab off. (You'll probably hear the tab drop to the bottom of the can if you succeed.) Depending on how narrow your implement is, you may have to reposition and repeat a few times, and, of course, you will have to do both tabs.
    After both tabs are dealt with, the basket should pull out with relative ease; a jar opener to grip both inner mesh walls, or a stiff wire/hook hooked through the uppermost mesh holes should suffice to pull it loose.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great design, beats competition by far, and gasket included! May require care during use.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018
    I decided on this can, despite the numerous poor reviews, because I thought the design of the nozzle was just too good to pass up, and I'm happy to report my satisfaction, as well as a couple of tips for use; having bought the dreaded 5-gallon model plagued with leaking issues at the cap (according to other reviews), I was relieved to discover that mine came with a gasket, and, despite some rigorous tests, refused to leak. I'd almost give this 5 stars, but there are a couple of things to watch out for, so it's not perfect out of the box.

    The nozzle works as conveniently as demonstrated in the product video, though you may wish to consider your can size carefully if you share my T-rex upper body build. Also, save your wrist; don't forget that there's a handle on the back end of the can.
    The auto-stop feature is a lifesaver, especially for devices with narrow fill openings that are inevitably impossible to peer into to see the fill level. If you can't jam the nozzle far enough down whatever container you're filling due to clearance, any snug, airtight hose extension (skip the one sold by the company and cut a custom length of tubing at a hardware store) will maintain the auto-stop function; simply hold down the button, and the flow will stop once the gas level reaches the end of the hose (and the hose fills up).

    Over 6 years later, I can also confirm that this can passes the test of time sitting outdoors (with a roof over it). Both the cap and the nozzle mechanism work just fine, and while the can body has rounded out somewhat due to long-term internal pressurization, the base remains flat and steady, and the material itself is showing no signs of giving out.

    Finally, a few tips for buyers:
    1. Whatever size you choose, definitely check the bottom of the cap for a gasket when you receive your can. (Mine is now dark brown, but it may have been black 6 years ago.) If it doesn't have one, don't settle―it WILL leak at some point. Either get a replacement, your money back from Amazon, (yes, that qualifies as defective, it's missing parts and leaks) or go to a hardware store and get your own if you want to save the time and trouble. If you go the DIY route, though, be careful; some gasket materials may get eaten up by gasoline over time.
    2. When screwing the cap on, be sure the yellow body is seated against the threaded black ring correctly.

    I have filled & used 2 cans full so far. Working good. No leaks. Fill cap can be tricky to get on straight. Once it's on, it's leak proof.

    I love this! I use a mix of diesel additives in my truck and have always found it a problem when filling my 250ml containers that I use. Previously I used a small measuring container to go from an old gas can that held my mixture into the 250ml containers. It was slow and a bit messy because I always manages to spill a little bit.

    With the No-Spill gas can, I can fill up my containers without spilling a drop. Having the on-off valve on the can has made all the difference.
