Review on 🚗 Midwest Can 1200 - Compact Gas Can with 1 Gallon Capacity for Efficient Fuel Storage by Kyle Rose

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Virtually impossible to use!

All I needed was a gas bottle to fill my lawnmower with petrol. What I got is a puzzle challenge that is really tedious to use! I had to watch youtube videos to understand how it works and because I have arthritis it's almost impossible. I finally put the cap on and fixed "childproof". It's also an arthritis-proof adult! It took me ten minutes and a lot of pain to unscrew the usually simple screw cap. To release the liquid you have to hit another very hard switch and then fight a very hard spring holding the nozzle open for pouring. This is madness! After first trying to assemble it and learning how to use it, and then struggling to remove the screw cap in case I really wanted to fill it with gas, my hands were so swollen and sore that I had to stop and take a break had to do. I'll try it with water first to make sure I can use it at all, but I already hate it right out of the box. There are videos online about how to "modify" it to make it usable, but I'm not sure I can do it. I'm pro-safety, but this is ridiculous. Update: I found a youtube video showing how to remove the spring so I don't have to struggle to keep the spout open and pouring water. It doesn't affect anything else. I can't believe I had to go through all this just for a can of gas.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
