Be careful when filling this gas cartridge.

That's why I bought this gas bottle because I needed an extra gas tank when filling up the tractor. how hard can it be I finally received this gas bottle and was very excited. Looks pretty strong and sturdy. I will give so much When I was pumping gas into it at a gas station, my jacket sleeve got completely wet with gas as the pressure from the pump reflected off the white plastic filter mechanism located inside the canister's opening. In the end, to fill it up, I had to do my best to pump atโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I like these guys. The hat is different from the one we received, but it's actually quite a cute hat. (I had my doubts when it came out because it comes off completely but holds up well, no accidental popping, loosening or loss.) The bottle and nozzle shape is perfect for a car or mower. This is far from ideal for my lawnmower. No complaints, good resilience, well balanced for carrying and tilting with one hand. The only downside is the rigid, straight attachment for viewing and tilting theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Negative impression

Terrible spout good for transferring fuel and grease

and white) what was received is all black and a completely different mechanism. My old Midwest glass had the usual Midwest glass problem of the spout locking ring snapping. I didn't look at first to see that they only sell the retaining ring (just over half the price of the entire can and spout). You can work with the new spout, but it really takes two hands (one holding the glass and the other holding the spout open). Why? Because it's a 1 gallon gas bottle and I only use it for small toolsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Don't like it is fine

Impossible and dangerous leak

I bought this gas bottle to replace a very old metal container. The newest plastic container is fine, but the "safe" spout is terrible. This is almost impossible as you have to hold the can at an awkward angle with one hand and try to tamper with the absurd mechanism to let the gas flow out. This is absolutely the dumbest design imaginable. I was able to fuel a manual lawnmower but only after spilling some gas because the spout wasn't angled enough and I couldn't close the spout fast enoughโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not everything fits

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 hardโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Clear and easy to use, I'm happy with that. Read my how-to in the review.

MY SITUATION/RATING: So I ran out of gas at the airport before leaving for a trip and bought this gas bottle to take home before I come back. My plan was to take a minibus home, pick up the canister, fill up and bring it back to the airport. I was very concerned about getting this glass and possibly being stuck at the airport due to all the negative reviews about it being really difficult to use or they can't figure it out. Still, I'm really glad I got it because it works fantastic! I found itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Flamboyant
