I saw the Eagle 5 gallon cans on the shelf for under $60 at Menards. The funnel is admittedly a little strange, you’re 100% correct, they get dirty. Compared to the plastic cans with the bureaucrat engineered safety straw an American made steel can available at a big box gave me the fizz, and I left with three. I’ve since found the Justrite, yeah, they’re a significant step up. It gets old taking the funnels to the parts cleaner, I’ll be upgrading. I always though there should be a dedicated color for mixed gas!‽ Thanks for sharing!
Just as a BTW: Coleman fuel in a 1 gallon can is only about $20. It is basically unleaded gas. It is a calibration point for what a gallon metal can good for storing a hydrocarbon should cost.
I'm sold. Justrite will be in my shed soon. A friggin' mouse chewed the ends on my aftermarket EZ pour replacement cap/nozzles that I put on all my newer (JUNK) cans. Like the OP said, the newer style "safety" cans spill more gas than anyone ever spilled with the old fashion (GOOD) cans we used to have.. I need METAL! 🤘 The change over to the safety pour cans is a great example of yuppie government bureaucracts with too much free time on their hands. They dream up the BS safety gas cans, that in no way needed this improvement
Hey thanks for the info. I'm looking to replace my 5 gal plastic cans i have had for a long time, they have lasted so long i have forgot how long. I have always noticed they expanded in the heat, but just this winter notice they really sucked in wildly. Thanks again for your video info.
I have two Justrite, 1 quart safety cans that are probably from their earliest days. The paint is a dark red but fully intact after decades of use. My 2 gallon Eagle looks like crap after 15 years of very light usage. The paint is thin and poor adhesion. Its only saving grace is the type II with large screw cap and yellow flexible pour spout with end plug. Your video is great and helped me decide with a decision I must make tomorrow. It's going to be Justrite.
Seems like when you made the video you just got them. Use them for a few years and make another. Also, it would have been cool to see them in action. My issue is fuel cans always leak somewhere. Check the recent reviews on these cans, people say they suck and now they are made in china. They use to be made in the USA
Agreed that JustRight seems like a solid can. Any problems with leaking when you poured gas?? I have the same can and it leaked when I went to pour the gas. Was on RUclips hoping to see if anyone else had the same problem.
I have some very old gas cans, oiler cans etc that are eagle. I think they were popular among the car crowd. My guess is justrite bought eagle and knew they could pump out an inferior product with the eagle name and charge the same money and plenty of people would buy it.
Great video with an easy explanation. Now, for the 2 cycle mixture ( in Florida, for our Landscapers ); we use the " Green colored Can. "🤠

Thanks for the review on these. I wish I could find justrite cans in a brick and mortar store. Eagle cans are available at lowes and TSC among others.
I'm getting the Just Rite....should be just right for me!

100 dollars? They are usually under 50 at Tsc Atwood’s Home Depot
Bought it 50$ at Lowe’s
@@cashisgreen6383 The type I is indeed around $50 at Lowe's but he is talking about the type II can which includes the metal dispensing nozzle.
Great review.

If you have a rural king near you they carry the justrite type 1 for around $40
Would the 5/8” or 1”. Issue be better for a gas generator with 5g tank?
You got a new follower
What a bout VP fuel can? use them on the race car and power tool and its no big deal, only a bit cheaper than eagle and plastic though

People that need to use the plastic gas cans to be safe should not be in public without adult supervision.
Do they make a 1 gallon can for motorcycles?
Yes
Putting gasoline into a blue container is a violation and could result in a hefty fine if the DOT man is ever around and sees it!
"go ahead and.."
Designed in California, so yes.. enemies of the country 🤣👌
Oh, please.
Way better than a NATO can!
Eagle and Justrite are the same company for the past decade.
They are not American-made. All materials come from China and then its "assembled" in the USA. Misleading.
