Review on πŸ”΄ Scepter FR1G252 2 Gallon Gas Can with Spill Proof SmartControl Spout and Bonus Funnel for Fuel Storage, Red by Jason Hood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much more cumbersome to use than expected (You can be sure it's safe and easy to use. It's not)

Refilling the gas bottle was easy. Although there is no clear line to see the level, the sides are transparent enough to easily see the fuel level while refueling. On my first attempt to use this, the dark green bar slides forward slightly, but no matter how hard I tried to squeeze the light green block, nothing came out and gas started leaking out the opposite end. I thought I tightened it up tight enough the first time, but it should have been a lot tighter. When I tried again, I still couldn't get the light green block to move forward far enough for the gas to flow (by holding the gas can at an angle to where I wanted to pour). I put in the gas canister and was finally able to get the light green block to slide all the way forward to let the gas flow out.) While the gas flows well, this block is difficult to hold, it doesn't take that much effort to hold it. Why it can't just push through, click and quickly unlatch the button is beyond me (Child locks have become heavy and difficult for adults to use. It can lock and close automatically without being so difficult to open once unlatched). pour is good and does what it's supposed to, but I personally find it impractical and embarrassing to use this method for my applications.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
