Review on Eagle UI-10S Galvanized Drum with Increased Capacity and Diameter by Ken Wilson

It's a little pricey but they're worth it as they last almost forever. I have an Eagle canister my dad bought in the 70's that I still use today. This canister is made from fairly heavy gauge steel, zinc plated and powder coated for a nice finish. The nose is the best. There is a steel screen in the neck of this vessel that prevents the flame front from penetrating the gas inside the vessel and causing an explosion. The lid closes very tightly and has a rubber seal. This is particularly important for fuels containing ethanol, which tend to absorb moisture from the air. I have never had a spill in one of these canisters and never have I stored gas in a contaminated one. This is by far the best option for gas or other flammable liquid storage. Compared to a plastic canister, they are infinitely better. I had to dump several gallons of gasoline stored in new plastic canisters, all because the poorly designed "environmentally friendly" spouts leaked, letting in a lot of water, dirt, and even bugs. You won't notice until your lawnmower stops working and you have to disassemble the carburetor to get rid of all the dead spiders. Such a good gas bottle pays for itself quite a bit this way.
