Review on No-Spill 1415 CARB Compliant 1-1/4-Gallon Poly Gas Can for Easy Refueling by Kevin Elliott

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is not your regular gas cartridge

Ideal for mixing gas for the Echo Blower. I have a large 5 gallon leak proof can as well as this 1.25 gallon can. This 1.25 gallon can has a nice sight glass to show the fuel level, it can be hard to read but I just marked the 1 gallon mark with a black marker so I can see it better. These cans are vastly superior to the cans I remember as a teenager (and still sitting in my parents' garage). They are fully sealed so there is no ventilation during storage = no smell of gas in my garage. I've read some reviews of people saying it leaks around the collar, I haven't come across this. But I check the o-ring/seal every time I unscrew the cap to make sure it's clean. The pouring mechanism/knob is great and offers precise flow control. The nozzle is shaped: you place your index and middle fingers on the yellow part on either side of the nozzle, then press the green button with your thumb to flow. The nozzle is great because if you have a nozzle in the tank that you refill as soon as the gas liquid level reaches the gas bottle nozzle hole, all flow stops just like when you fill up your car at a gas station. even if you pressed the button. This is because the gas cylinder sucks air through the filler neck as the gas is poured out. Once the liquid level in the tank reaches the nozzle, air can no longer enter the bottle, stopping the flow of gas from the bottle. No-Spill also offers an extension tube that slides over the nozzle, but I haven't had to use that yet.

Pros
  • Thumb button control for precise pouring
Cons
  • The list will go on.
