Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Solid gas can Comment: I have three of these and love them. I use them to fill a mower and the builting handles make them pretty easy to use. I have never had an issue with them spilling.
I would not buy though if you intended to use them to fill up an auto. Customer Rating: Summary: Lousy! Comment: I have two of these cans. They are "self venting" which means the air is supposed to suck back in a separate pipe in the spout. In Theory. In reality the suction in the tank prevents the fuel from running at even a quarter of the rate of a real vented can all the while in a splashy rather than smooth stream (lack of venting again), then it stops all together when the suction gets so bad it gulps air and anything else back into the can. The spout is rigid and impossible to use without a funnel The only way I have found to use the can is squeeze it as hard as I can to get a good flow then release to force a "gulp". This is even worse than my older vented Blitz can with the spout stored inside the can (smelly hands anyone?) With idiotic government regs in place vented cans have become all but impossible to find. In OH we can't even get these self vented ones anymore, rather we can only get CARB ones which are self venting compounded by a spring loaded closure. If your state is going CARB, get what you can now. Customer Rating: Summary: They're ok Comment: Could do with longer spouts - any idea how hard it is to find a funnel that'll fit a car petrol filler at less than a million dollars?
Also I'd prefer a separate air intake cap but beggars can't be choosers eh?
