Review on πŸ”΄ Scepter FSCG552 Red 5 Gallon SmartControl Gas Can with Funnel - Efficient Rear Handle Design by Jim Bethea

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Finally a 5 gallon pitcher with a side handle!

I like this pot, don't like the white flame softener in the throat but I get the purpose. I just have to get used to it because it's not easy to take it off! I've never had trouble filling other fuel tanks that haven't had this device stuck down the throat of California safety injectors that require you to pull out the vapor safety seal. back to filling small fuel tanks up to this one! Not a big deal, but you can see in the video how many times I had to reinstall or play with the vapor barrier to pour the fuel in the jug. The jug and spout work surprisingly well, although it took some getting used to. using a palm safety spout and operating the fuel dispenser button/spatula to find out how it flows (the video shows that this is my first time using this type of safety spout and I had a small leak that filled the mower). Eventually I realized that since the wing is easy to operate and has quite a bit of lift, it's easy to modulate the flow, not just an on/off switch like the torsion spring safety jets that come with all gas cylinders sold in California these days. .I haven't used a car refueling adapter yet, but I'm sure it will be easy. It seems much easier to activate this system compared to rotating types. The most important fact to mention…. This nozzle will NOT emit any noticeable fuel vapors after being in a very warm garage for over a week. The print is great on the sample I received!

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Faulty
