Review on No-Spill 1450 5-Gallon Poly Gas Can: CARB Compliant and Spill-Proof Solution by Jon Johnson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No shedding? more like a slow spill.

I wanted to like it, I really did. The quality of the container is good and the button spout works very well. It's hardly a spill, however, unless I'm using it very incorrectly (I'm sure someone will tell me it is). My first fill up left a spray of gas running down the side of my bike, with a puddle below it almost as big as the bike itself (although it's only a Grom). I was standing right next to him at the time, so I didn't notice until I filled the tank and walked away. Natural gas is everywhere! I tightened the cap as much as possible so it would engage the obturator's second tooth. Fuel is still leaking somewhere near the screw cap or the injector itself. I am extremely disappointed. I have to put down towels or something to use this so I don't make such a mess. If so, I should have saved my money and bought a basic gas cartridge. Two stars because the quality of the container is good and the button spout works smoothly. I bought it to avoid spilling while using it! It doesn't, so it's not recommended to buy it.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Speed
