the justrite spouts last me about a month before they leak. Gave up. Pour right from the cans. Works great

 

That’s a lot of the reason I stopped using those cans.

 

I converted all my cans to utilize these. They work great now. They pour fast and do not leak. Caps keep stuff out of the nozzles.

Plastic spout with cap is good way to go but if you rough with cans they last even shorter than metal spouts. I use the plastic EZ pours for shop cans and justrite cans with no spouts for on the go cans.

I use this style, and really like them!

 

I'm about to spend some money on 3 new cans to start the year. I Appreciate the responses. Helps to get an idea of which ones are the best long term.

 

I have either 5 or 6 at the moment. Don’t get the 5 gallon cans if you have crews, they get heavy on a hot day (or any day) and get slammed on the trailer causing the leaks. I went to 2 of the 2.5 gallon cans and haven’t had issues since. You’ll need to sell a gold tooth though, they spensive. I think we have 3 years on one of them, honestly if they lasted 2 that’s good for me.

 

We ended up going away from those cans do to leaks and that issue. Ended up used a No spill can, but I know we'll get fined but it is what it is.

 

I have a couple No-spill cans I really like - what's the legality issue with them? They're my favorite design of can I've used.

 

Gov't Regs continue to make gas cans more clunky and awkward to use...

New law requires portable gas containers to add devices to protect against explosions

An NBC News investigation found that under certain conditions, plastic gas containers were susceptible to explosions that could cause severe burns.

The chance of being fined in my area is fairly low, but I'm concerned with the safety aspect of the cans. Getting burnt with a combination of hot equipment and gas fumes or getting someone else hurt is a concern. Very low chance of it happening, but it can happen.

 

From my understanding the No spill or Plastic gas cans are not OSHA approved. Which could cause an issue if something were to happen. I think the chances are low, but you never know. Just something to be aware of.

 

Not just OSHA, but there's DOT Regs as well....

The OP's example is OSHA approved, but not DOT.

Q: How do I keep the nozzle on this can from getting dirt in it?

Lawnsite responds...

A: I have a different can

A: My can is better

A: No, MY can is better

A: I also have a different can

A: I like ponies

Isn't your answer to move to cordless tools and not use gas?

 

I’ve had the justrites fall out of the back of an open tailgate while driving more than a few times. Guessing I’m not following approved transport guidelines.

I am planning to mount 2 off these with 1 hand crank pump to each trailer. Pump puts out 8 gal per minute. Plus we will be able to go 2 days without having to stop for fuel. $114 each can and each pump is about $300.
Right now we have two or three 6 gal cans on each trailer. Major pita constantly fueling cans. And spouts always leaking.

Without the transport dolly a little over $400.

 

love open trailers. Pull up to a pump and fill cans and mowers in minutes

 

Love my truck beds, do the same thing.

I can hand pump a few gallons in just a few seconds.

link to the super power hand pump please.

 

Nope I would want pump feed.
And yes they would be mounted to trailer. I'd need 30 gallons on each trailer so not stopping for fuel every single day.

 

Since it's not my money, you could always go with a gasoline rated tank like this with pump. 😉

If it’s not sold online somewhere it probably don’t exist

 

Im certain it is. I’m just not going to take time to find it just to give rise to a perfectly pointless debate. Not worth my time, much like this response. I’m perfectly confident I can pump two gallons in 60 seconds or less. I don’t need to prove it.

 

On a related note, we are going to set at least two bulk tanks (gasoline and diesel fuel) at the shop this year to eliminate filling stations. It’s far too difficult to get in and out of them with our rigs anyway. Also will eliminate a ton of paperwork, and we can buy bulk when the price drops.

 

I read a few gallons in a few minutes and got real curious, sorry for asking. Sounds like a normal hand pump for fuel transfer, which is still better than gas cans.

I carry the justrite cans myself and prefer them over the plastic jugs.

All my fuel in one year is put on the same fuel card. I just did the paperwork, it took me 3 minutes to pull up the annual report on the fuel card and see my fuel costs this year. I then uploaded that to my cpa portal and done. Didnt have to order fuel or keep a receipt or ask the fuel supply co for a receipt or figure out how full the tank is before ordering more. I cant afford a secretary so the easier it is for me the better.

I used to have a 500 gallon fuel tank at my shop it turned into too much of a chore to keep track of.

 

I got these spouts for my personal, at-home use, (non-commercial/non transport) gas cans...!
