Review on Eagle UI-10S Galvanized Drum with Increased Capacity and Diameter by Sean Ceo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better than vented plastic gas containers now that most gasoline contains ethanol

I purchased this with a 5 gallon Eagle U2-51-S Red Galvanized Steel Type II Gas Safety Can. I doused them both in gasoline and left them in my room in Florida for a few days (day) before cleaning them properly. In all that time I've never noticed even a hint of the smell of gasoline. I bought these when my lawn mower broke down and needed service. Gasoline now contains varying amounts of ethanol, a form of alcohol above 10% can cause serious engine damage as it attracts moisture (water) and this purchase was the obvious choice. In some cases, this new type of fuel can even void your system repair warranty. For this reason I threw away my old vented plastic gas cylinders. These galvanized steel containers have a perfect seal that greatly reduces contact with moisture, meaning I don't have to constantly drive to the gas station to keep them fresh and I avoid engine repairs. I bought the one with the 5 gallon spout, should have bought the spout too. I think it's never too late. In any case, great product!
