20 Best Utv Gas Cans (2022 Updated)

The whole idea of buying this was for the No-Spill feature on a premium quality gas can which would be worth the higher cost. Not! First off the valve never stopped the flow of gas to prevent a spill like advertised despite following the manufacturer’s instructions and on-line tips.

Every time I’ve poured gas it has overflowed if I didn’t manually stop the flow myself and because of the large valve area it’s more difficult to see beyond the nozzle into the gas tank to see the level so I can stop it in time.

See my video on this review. I even made a warranty claim with the manufacturer on their website and after a bit of back and forth they finally sent me a new nozzle but I had the exact same issue. Also the black screw on cap portion of the nozzle is extremely difficult to screw on to the can to a point where I need to wear leather gloves or need to use a wrench.

Clearly the threads don’t match like they should. I wonder if this is part of the overflow/leak problem as one can’t get a good seal onto the can so it continues to vent through that point preventing the normal valve action from stopping the flow and occasionally leaking there as well.

I’ve written the company about this but haven’t received an answer yet. But my advice is to stay away and use an alternative product if you don’t want the hassle of dealing with this like I, and so many others, have had.

Never spilled as much fuel as i do with these California cans! 2. 5g was missing the very small O ring under the cap. First fill gas was leaking as a steady dripping. Had to order O ring from manufacture as no one stocks the thin odd size.

Other No Spill cans I fixed by removing the strainer as it causes gas to splash out when filling. Second drilled a hole and installed a vent allowing better air flow. As designed the air must bubble up into the can to displace the fuel.

Seems to me your aerating more fuel into the atmosphere by bubbling. Once fixed and with constant attention to the O rings falling off they work very well.

Finally a user friendly, truly no leak gas container. Can be filled easily once you learn how to operate the a commercial pump spout manually (ask for assistance) and fill slowly. The side viewing shows fuel level while you are filling the unit.

The top is easily replaced. At the work site it is manageable and does not leak gas at the black cover. The spout pours well and the fuel release (opening/closing valve) can be controlled easily. I am a grandmother (old) and this is the best unit I have used ever.

It was a God-send for my generator use for a six day power outage. A 2. 5 gallon unit is the heaviest I could manage, I bought two.

The pack itself is great. Perfect size and durable. The BS EPA nozzle that comes with it is a joke. Everyone I have talked to has always said that they leaked out more gas with the EPA designed nozzles than the old school ones.

This one is no exception. First time pouring fuel in my tank, it leaked all over the place. I can’t believe that a design failure like this was overlooked. To fill tank, twist to unlock, turn sideways, push, tilt, and finally proceed to leak gas all over your bike.

Buy a separate fill spout along with this tank. One that is not an EPA designed failure.

Trip Summary: VA Beach, VA > JAX, FL > Biloxi, MS > Austin, TX > Las Cruces, NM > San Diego, CA. Using 2 ratchet straps I tied down my Rotopack to my top case rack nice and snug. The quality of the can felt amazing! Extremely durable and felt it could definitely take a high speed fall.

I didn’t really ever need to take it out or feel I needed to take it out until I hit Texas. From Austin to NM the 10 West is VERY VERY barren. The only point I felt I would need to deploy it was 1 stop where I expended 170 miles and could definitely feel my bike choking itself with maybe 15 miles left with no gas station in sight.

Luckily I ran into one maybe 8 miles later. The only time I used it during the trip was when I hit CA for a gas stop. $4. 53 a gallon! Can you believe that? I ended up using the Rotopack and it did not disappoint, the fill nozzle is integrated into the reservoir opening and requires you assemble the cover and nozzle together and removing a cap on the inside end of the part.

After it is assembled theres a small twisting mechanism to open and close the nozzle which is pretty convenient to prevent overfilling if it ever occurs. All in all fantastic product for a long distance trip! 11/10 would recommend!.

I was intrigued when I first saw the REDA Saddlebag Fuel Can. Owning an Electra Glide Ultra Classic, and prone to long distance rides, fuel is always a concern, eswpecially when one goes a bit off the beaten path.

In the past week alone, I have been fortunate to just squeak by with the LOW Light illuminated on my Speedo. Allegedly, the 2008 Ultra Classic has a 6 gallon tank, but when you’re at 5. 5 gallons uses (As calculated by my Dyno-Tune Power Vison) and there doesn’t seem to be a station anywhere nearby, it can get a little ‘dicey”.

Fortunately, I was able to find a station before running out of gas, but it really drove home the need to pay closer attention to fuel useage and also to figure out a way to have a reserve for emergencies.

The REDA Saddlebag Gas Can solves the latter problem with a pretty elegant package. It tucks right into the rear of the saddlebag (HArd Bags, although I’d imagine you could use it in leather bags as well).

and takes up very little space. IT comes with a foolproof spout that prevents accidental spillage via the use of a special valve that locks closed until released by twisting and pushing down as you fill your tank.

The only downside is that the spout cqannot be stored inside the tank (as most gas can spouts do) and that it doesn’t actually hold a full gallon of fuel (My tank fills to the brim at. 850 gallon. That’s still enough to liklely get you to a filling station (35 miles on average).

The other solution would be to order 2 of them. Now you have nearly 2 esxtra gallons of fuel and you’re bike is balanced by having a tank on each side. I intend to order a second tank just for that reason.

Construction is excellent, sealing is perfect (no smell or leakage) and the locking cap works perfectly. If you want pease of mind, then this will certainly provide it.

I’ve purchased 2 cans in June 2016, used them occasionally, not very often. Today I put two my cans with 91 gas for my dirt bike in the cabin of my truck. In the middle of the road I smelled gas vapors and eventually I’ve stopped and observed that seam on the can had been cracked and gas leaked all over floor mats.

Now my truck stinks of gas heavily. I realize there is only 1 year of warranty, I’m just letting you know that quality of the can could be better. And also rubber gasket on the yellow nozzle on one of two my canisters got torn in first few months of usage (literally 2nd or 3rd time I used it), so I had to re-use one nozzle for both my cans.

Now I’m disposing my cracked can, and also I’m disposing another one, which is still good just in case, as soon as I’m getting cans from different manufacturer. 12/23/2019.

Thankfully a gas can is a rare purchase. So rare for me that technology has changed since I bought my last one. I’ve always had the spouted type of gas can. I wasn’t even sure how to use this one until I bought it and used it.

This has a push button feature where it safely vents gas fumes. One issue I have is that you have to hold that button in while pouring – unless there’s a shortcut I’m not aware of. There’s a handle on the backside of the container so you can adjust your grip while pouring from a full can.

Another thing I would like is for a longer spout. It would help for someone like me who has back trouble. It’s hard to suspend the container while pouring when the fan is full. If the spout was a bit longer, it would help weaklings like me.

I recommend this container.

I picked up the 5 gallon NO-SPILL can and I was actually shocked by how easy it works ! Put in the car and went and filled it up. I took the time to look at the cap and saw the strainer. Knowing beforehand how well those back up when trying to fill the tank, I pulled it and topped it off.

Because of the weight, I transferred 2 1/2 gallons to my smaller filling can. the push botton control worked as advertised ! No spills, no leaks and very little fumes ! This can is money wells spent as far as I’m concerned !.

In general, I detest the new EPA-mandated gas cans. I had one in the past I liked for a while. that ended up leaking, which is why I ditched it for this one. This one is better than any others I’ve seen as of late.

Why? It is easy to control, fast flow, and has an optional extension end available if you need to use it. Seals nicely when not in use, and easy to figure out and get going without making a mess like some others.

Nice and sturdy design as well.

With the exception of the CARB/EPA nozzle, these cans are just short of bulletproof. Unlike the metal US military cans, these just don’t leak. I prefer storing them upright, but they are equally leakproof laying on their sides.

Wavian has several videos on YouTube demonstrating the tests they pass, such as dropping them from heights and even lighting them on fire. I would even go so far as to say they are likely superior to the Scepter cans currently used by the military.

This basic design has been in use since they were designed in the 1930’s and is a time-proven design. Again, ensure you are purchasing a real Wavian can. There is plenty of knock-offs being offered for sale, but they are not the same, and quite possibly dangerous.

The real Wavians have a recessed perimeter weld and are made out of a relatively heavy gauge metal. The knockoffs have a protruding perimeter weld and will not sit level. Additionally, they are of a thinner gauge metal and easily dent and crush.

I highly doubt they would pass the Wavian drop or fire tests. Current legislation requires use of the CARB/EPA nozzles. However, there are a number of vendors selling pre-regulation nozzles if you prefer.

Expensive at $80 is a shocking amount of money to pay for a can. PLUS, to make this thing work properly, I had to buy a Safety Siphon at $15 to avoid the push to pour ridiculousness of the CARB-mandated nozzle.

Once that CARB nozzle is removed, this is an excellent can. I can’t imagine anything better. Seals completely tight; not a drop spilled after filling up and putting it in my back seat – literally couldn’t smell a thing.

Easy to use, mission accomplished.

This is one of the best containers for storing fuel, that is well made and can resist damage and rough handling. From the information on the manufacturer’s website they also show the fire resistant testing they put these through, and how well they perform, often swelling but not bursting under pressure.

The Can also comes with a good fuel spout that stores neatly on top of the container,. a big plus. !.

I’ve been using these containers for diesel fuel in my 2 tractors for a couple of years now. They are great to fill, you don’t have to screw around waiting for the foam to die down, and when you fill with the fill tube, you’re not standing there for 20 minutes waiting for the fuel to go in the tank.

With the different handle locations, they’re very comfortable to fill with. They stack decently in the truck, my only complaint is if you don’t have a couple to put them into a block or have a bar to hold them in place, they will tip over hit you hit the brakes or whatever, but i use on of those expanding bars for the bed of the truck so I’m not fishing them out of the front of the bed.

Depending on the fuel, they will stain yellow a little bit, but so what? The white ones are nice because you can see how much fuel is in them. I have something like 12 or 15 of these. Buy one, get the plastic hose filler neck thingy for it, and try one yourself, I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed, they are very nice.

These cans are awesome. You do need to get 3 fittings and a chunk of hose which is irritating, but cheap and easy to find at the hardware store. After that you have a lifetime product. No exaggeration.

These things must be 1/8 thick at least. Legit industrial quality stuff. They would probably survive a fall from a truck on the freeway. They are commonly stolen so be careful where you leave it. They stack well, they pack well.

Buy once cry once, youll never need to replace a broken red can again. So worth it.

Look out for this thing!! The filler is too large in diameter and gas comes out of there like a firehose. Been using jerry cans for 50 years , this is the first one I ever bought like this. Also the hose doesn’t want to bend.

What in the world were they thinking? Can’t return it because I moved out of state before using it. Tried to find a way to get ahold of the manufacturer but you cannot. It now goes WAY in the back of the garage or maybe if I find someone I don’t like I’ll give it to them.

I have no idea how this is getting such good reviews. I purchased two of them. The first one leaked immediately. I thought it was just a bad unit and returned it to ACE. I kept the second unit. I think I’ve filled it three times.

It now leaks when you use the fill spout. I truly MISS the old metal gas cans. They lasted for 50 years, and never leaked.

Bought 2 5 gallon cans a couple months ago and filled it maybe 3 times. Walked into my garage this morning to a mess, with gas everywhere. I don’t trust this product. If it leaks, it is a disaster because it will drain while sitting upright.

Best gas can on the market. I have four. Doesn’t leak a drop. Only negative. Wish the cap had a safety lanyard as I use for my boat and now have to see if I can purchase a replacement cap. Without a doubt best gas can I’ve ever used.

Durable plastic can, easy to fill at the gas pump with the screw on lid. Very easy to use pull out nozzle to fill yard machines with fuel. Economical because you are not losing gas by pouring it all over your intended equipment due to an unweidly and/or difficult to handle spout.

Should’ve bought this a long time ago. The flip spout is con isn’t and easy during fill ups. And the no spill is actually no spill! I was able to fill up lawn mowers and generators with ease with the swivel spout.

I am going to buy two more. Don’t think this is the gas can to get.

Great pair. Showed up in a timely manner and packed will. Everything was in order. Thanks again!

Great product at great prices! Straight from the factory for great savings. Fast shipper. Both water and gas kit are of tough durable plastic.

Looks like a very good product yet to try out on the Trail but looking forward that. Mounted on a Cycles Rack ( CycleRack.com) mounting straight forward WR450F Yamaha.

Due to the cretins in California that make rules, this is unusable in the present configuration. As mentioned in another review, there is a filter screen on the can. If you are silly enough to want to USE the can, you will find that on the slowest setting, the gas will splash back because the filter is WAY too restrictive.

If you manage to get some gas into the can you will need to enlist a friend to get it out. 6 gallons weighs a bunch. You need a hand to release the safety catch on the nozzle while holding the can for the extended period it will take to drain as the hole in the nozzle is very small.

The ULTIMATE in safety! make it unusable.

I received the gas can broke. There is a white cup with holes that looks like a strainer inside the gas can. I saw in the description on Home Essentials Direct something called a “Internal Flame Mitigation Device”.

I went online and saw that this is the part that is broke. Also as described by other reviews the cap is hard to remove and spout is hard to work. What I ended up doing was to remove the rest of the part in the gas can, put on a different spout and everything is fine.

The spout usually leaks but I usually use an electric pump to transfer the gas out of this can. The spout is terrible. Also I had to dig the internal filter out of the can to be able to put a pump into the container.

Both units leaked. Both fuel fillers arrived failed, when the nozzle is inserted and unlocked, more fuel flows around the valve and onto the ground than into the fuel tank. So I purchased two things while overlanding in Moab, i) a funnel to simply pour the fuel front the rotopax directly into the tank, and ii) i found a replacement fuel filler that works great.

If I could return these items I would, I am switching over to a different Jerry Can arrangement and getting rid of the rotopax.

I plan to take many extended camping and off road excursions in the foreseeable future and needed water and gas canisters that I could easily lift onto the roof of my truck or rack on my shell. I didn’t want to put them on the tailgate or inside the shell because I don’t expect (except for water) to be using them regularly and didn’t want to deal with having to unlock or swing out another steel bracket to get into the back of my shell.

Because I have Parkinson’s Disease I am limited to how much weight I can lift or carry so wanted it broken down into smaller sized containers of no more than 2 gallons at a time. This kit is mounted to a Thule Canyon roof rack and because there are few instructions and/or vids available on how to mount these I was taking a leap of faith they would fit my rack.

They did work without mods and everything was really pretty easy to set up. The quality is great but buy factory seconds if they are available as they are completely functional and will save you some dollars.

Many options are available if you want larger containers. The only negative is they are pretty expensive.

I purchased two of these 2 gal packs. One really has a tight threaded lid and you need to be Hercules to tighten it. The other one threads fine. One leaked from the lid right away (the one that threaded fine) the other leaked after about 3 months.

Overall I am pretty disappointed. They look tidy and mount well but leaking lids make them useless. The seals seem fine so I am not sure if it is just a bad design or loose tolerances in manufacturing.

The safety spout system is a bit of joke too with a little locking mechanism. Just make it a bloody spout. -m-2014 KTM 690 ENDURO–.

With two handles it is much easier to dump the fuel out. I would not use it for anything that doesn’t have a significant size tank. My first use of it was leak free. 2nd not so much. Considering taking back for round 2 but I don’t really think the seals will be better on any of them.

I was transfering fuel from one vehicle to another. I jumpered the fuel pump relay to empty my car tank to fill this jug and with the strainer inside, well, that’s kind of nice especially when fueling.

However, that limits any siphon hose sticking in there. Especially with a coiled up hose that doesn’t want to relax. Best clip the bottom siphon hose to the upper handle of the can with a snap clamp, etc.

You can’t remove the strainer that I know of. Put a rag under it. If you wipe the fuel and are ready to clean whatever you are filling. well. more work. but not the end of the world. It also has the red safety switch that must be pressed in before you can shove the tank nozzle into any fuel tank, or filler.

The hook is just above that red switch on the spout in the picture is then pressed into the tank lip to release the fuel to flow. As you then shove this thing into a tank that lip catches on the tank /filler neck lip the goo goes into the tank.

The red safety switch is kind of stiff and really is unneeded holding shut the spout hook valve from being pressed in. I am considering cutting the red safety switch it off with a diamond cutter. (don’t try this at home kids – you will die.

:P) None of my other tanks have this ‘feature’. It is not externally vented so that makes it kind of slow to empty. Pour, gulp, pour, gulp, pour, gulp. But the two handles were important to me. THis type of spout is on everything now.

Push hook to displense. You can see the hook in the picture and then imagine how much nozzle has to be shoved in further. Shallow tank? Then you have to move the spout with a hand and then try to dump the fuel into your tank.

I have a loyalty credit for the price of the tank and I needed that capacity, so. It might be ok for a motorcycle. If you go in with your eyes open and know what you are getting and what the competition is for the value then you can make a decision.

Check for 2 handles only on features. I imagine the durability is good. Oh and power, yes, it is a very powerful fuel gas can. I rode it to work and got there faster than my audi s5 cabriolet and it only holds 5 gallons so big plus on economy.

(i. e. some of the reviews, etc, choices don’t always make sense). And also on power, if you check the fuel level in the can with the spout off and use a lighter, match, cigarette or blow torch, well, the power of the explosion with 5 gallons of fuel is pretty good.

Better for quick ignition is, 2 gallons so there are a lot more fumes. excellent power. I haven’t tested that feature yet.

Used once and it leaks at the spout. Had to cut the red part off of the spout as it was to hard to push in when the can was tipped. You needed 3 hands to operate it. Than you had to push the spout in to open the spout so it would pour.

When I pushed the spout against the mower gas tank opening the weight of the full can twisted the spout and the washer came off the spout and it leaked all over. I kept replacing the washer but it kept twisting off.

I could not return the can as it had gas in it and EPA says they can’t except it back in the store. I could not put another spout on the can as it is made different and other spouts would not fit. I have a can that is worthless to me.

I found this gas can at HF while looking on the net for a 5 gallon can, the next best price was $5. 00 more and a longer distance away to get. We are comparing apples to apples as both cans were by the same manufacturer with the same part number.

I like to keep spare gas on hand as my wife drives about 28 miles each way to work and this day and time you never know when the availability will dry up due to a industrial hack or a power outage. (Once a prepper, always a prepper) Environmentialists will probably cringe at the idea of gas sitting around that is not in the ground or your car tank but let’s face it, everybody cannot afford a EV and the internal combustion engine does not run off of air.

That is my story and I am sticking to it! HF has the best electric chainsaw 2. (IMHO).

Bought this to mix and fill fuel for my boat. Certainly is fast to empty but for me this is too fast as I put it through a funnel and so had to manually control the rate of flow and couldn’t go full tilt on it.

The nozzle being stored internal is both an advantage in that it keeps it clean and you don’t lose it but also a disadvantage in that you get fuel on your hands when taking it out. The nozzle must have the breather up as marked on it otherwise it will leak when using it.

It seals ok, good locking mechanism but need to tighten past when it engages to ensure no spills. I’ve used it twice upright on sealed roads ~5 min drive and only had it leak a little on the first because it wasn’t on tight enough.

Second time seemed fine. Overall does what I need it to but perhaps for me not perfect.

You may be wondering how something so basic as a gerry can could get poor reviews. Well, you’re right, the can itself is fine! It’s pretty hard to mess up. The problem lies in the design of the spout and cap (spout is available separately PN 28-3060-4).

Because the spout is the only part with a sealing ring, you must have it installed in order to have any sort of seal. The spout does NOT have a screw-on cap, so to close the can you have to insert the spout backwards inside the can, place a gimmicky stopper over it, and then tighten the cap.

To dispense fuel, you undo the cap, remove the stopper, turn the spout around, and pour it. In practical terms this means that the spout is dripping fuel EVERYWHERE (it’s quite a mess), and then when you’re done you have to stick this absolutely filthy spout back INSIDE your fuel that you just got covered in sand and dirt.

Not good! Additionally the spout is extremely rigid so it is impossible to bend to get it in most vehicle fuel necks (partially the material’s fault, partially the odd shape of the thing). My first few attempts spilled quite a bit.

Really disappointing considering the now discontinued Wedco system (PN 02-8306-4) is very simple and easy to keep fuel clean and not spill a single drop. I have a spare of the old-style spouts, but of course, Wedco accessories do not fit Scepter cans.

It appears that Canadian Tire doesn’t sell an actually useful flexible spout for these cans, so I’ll be returning this product and looking for a used Wedco can on Kijiji or something.

My order from HardwareAnd Tool was fantastic. The order process was simple and quick. The product I ordered was a plastic Jerry Gas Can. I needed a thin gas container for a small compartment on my pontoon boat and this can fit perfect.

It is a quality product. I was very pleased with the whole process. Two thumbs up from me!.

Normal CARB compliant gas cans are dangerous. If you do track days these are a must. I have had several failures due to the “safety” mechanism on most store bought gas containers. Some have resulted in the nozzle breaking and spilling gas all over my bike.

This is the gold standard in safety and convenience.

I bought 3 different colors of VP jugs to hold my special fuel brews for each of my racing applications. These replace my previous VP jugs that I used and abused for over 15 years and are starting to show their age.

They’re by far the most durable jug I have used. You won’t be disappointed.

I bought 2 gas cans from Home Depot because it’s just down the street from me. Every single time I would pour gas (into my lawn mower, bike, whatever), they would spill all over my hands and ground. This gas can is the best.

Never, ever does this thing spill out where it shouldn’t. Very well built. No mess. No spills.

Love the orange color we bought, great container for gas so much better than a regular gas can. The material is strong and durable a little heavy when gas is inside but it is what you expect it to be.

I recommend this product along with the nozzle that you attach and turn on and off. Great combo.

Works as advertised, solid construction. Can’t rate it 5 star for durability since I’ve owned it for a short time. Way better than those new “safety spouts” that spill all over the place. Cheaper than VP jug, and two handles are better than one.

Buy the Hose bender accessory for one handed pouring. -m-2006 YAMAHA YZ450F–.

Note: The item came wrapped in paper with a sticker that said “Made In China”. Which I found very interesting. The can is stamped as being made in Latvia. The can is great. Sturdy and well built. The spout is trash.

It spills gas when you initially press down to fill, when the can is full. If you get past the initial fuel spill, it starts to work fine, but SLOOOOOWWWWW! About 15-20 min to empty 5 gallons. Lots of reviews about this CARB spout being slow and spilling gas.

Nothing new. Wavian has flexible neck style as an option. Not sure why the Anvil brand does not offer it. I plan to buy the Wavian flex neck filler and call it a day. Otherwise you are doing gas can yoga to try and get all the gas out of the can.

Don’t let the nozzle stop you from getting a great can. Happy fueling.

I purchased two of these for transporting race fuel. High quality construction and nice finish for a DOT-approved utility jug. Only minor complaint is that the blue one was pre-labeled for kerosene; however, the sticker was easily removed.

They are wavian nato Jerry cans. They do unfortunately come with the plastic safety filler instead of a metal one. Bought mine on sale for 79. 99 cheapest place on the web at the time I see They have reverted to $ 90+.
