No-Spill 2.5-Gallon Poly Gas Can
If you’re like me, you probably rolled your eyes when you hear “no spill” and “gas can” in the same utterance. Since 2009, Americans have endured countless gas can flops with poorly designed spouts and vents that ironically make it much more likely to spill gas when refueling equipment. I promise you that the No-Spill CARB-compliant cans are different. In fact, for the 1.25-gallon and 2.5-gallon models, I will even claim that they work better than the old school plastic cans for small engine applications.
When you’re refueling your outdoor power equipment, control of fuel flow is the most important factor in not spilling fuel. Not only is it harmful to the environment, but spilling fuel onto a hot engine can be dangerous. The No-Spill poly cans’ push-button spout set them apart from the competition.
Between my landscaping side business, cutting firewood from downed trees in our woods, trimming the banks of a 1.5-acre lake, and maintaining my 108-tree orchard, I go through a lot of two-cycle mix. The No-Spill can is perfect for the small fuel tanks on trimmers, blowers, and chain saws because of the precise level of control that the push-button spout gives you to prevent overfilling. This is why I say that the No-Spill poly cans are even better than the old-style plastic cans.
The No-Spill 2.5-gallon poly can is the perfect size for my needs. A typical homeowner who owns a couple pieces of two-cycle equipment would probably be best suited with the 1.25-gallon can, since you don’t want to mix up more fuel than you can use in a month or two.
Apart from the well-designed spout, the thickness of the polymer shell makes the difference between this and a basic fuel can readily apparent when you compare the two side to side. Not only are you going to experience less frustration with the No-Spill can, but it’s also going to last longer due to the higher quality materials used to make it. I have been using the same 2.5-gallon can for my landscaping business and around my property for more than seven years and it’s still in great shape.
These poly cans are available in 5-gallon, 2.5-gallon, and 1.25-gallon sizes. They even make a yellow 5-gallon diesel can.
