Gas Cans

Gas cans are purpose-built fuel containers that make storing and transporting gasoline, diesel, and mixed fuel safer and cleaner for drivers, contractors, and homeowners. A quality gasoline can helps prevent spills, protects engines from contamination, and keeps equipment ready—whether you’re fueling a generator during an outage, topping off lawn equipment, or supporting off-road and marine adventures. Modern designs focus on controlled pouring, durability, and compliance, so you can move fuel with confidence on the road, jobsite, or farm.

Choose from rugged steel safety cans with spring-closing lids and flame arrestors, or lightweight CARB/EPA-compliant HDPE plastic options with no-spill, auto-shutoff spouts. Popular sizes include 1-gallon, 2-gallon, and 5-gallon, with larger wheeled fuel caddies available for shops. Look for features like child-resistant caps, integrated vents for faster flow, wide bases for stability, and gaskets that resist swelling from ethanol-blended fuels. Jerry cans, DOT-approved transport containers, and marine-rated cans address specialized needs. Add-ons—funnel kits, flexible spouts, siphon pumps, and vehicle mounts—streamline fueling and storage.

• Match capacity to use: small engines (1–2 gal), vehicles and generators (5+ gal).
• Pick material wisely: steel for rugged durability; HDPE plastic for lighter weight and resilience.
• Verify certifications: look for UL/OSHA safety cans, DOT for transport, and CARB/EPA compliance.
• Choose the right spout: no-spill auto-shutoff spouts reduce mess; flexible extensions aid tight spaces.
• Store fuel properly: cool, ventilated location away from ignition sources; never indoors near appliances.
• Fill safely: place can on the ground, avoid overfilling, leave expansion space, ground metal cans.
• Maintain seals: inspect gaskets and caps, replace worn spouts, label fuel type and mix ratios.
• Manage fuel quality: use stabilizer for long-term storage, rotate stock, and recycle old fuel responsibly.

For frequent transport, consider lockable mounts and spill trays, and always check local regulations on portable fuel containers to ensure safe, legal use on roads and worksites.
