Wavian USA Authentic NATO Jerry Can and Spout System - Rust-Proof, EPA & CARB Compliant, Red, 20 Litre, Wavian 5 Gallon Gas Cans for Gasoline

Spoiler alert- diatribe to follow, please feel free to ignore everything after:“I love everything about the Waivan cans. Also choice of color makes it very easy to grab gas or diesel and go.Built great (so far) and I have every expectation they’ll still be serviceable 15 years from now just like my old NATO surplus cans.”Only thing I don’t like is the new spout requirements (not Waivans fault) that make the can unnecessarily tricky to get open and closed. Not a big deal at all just a minor inconvenience compounded by the fact that the new cans come with very little to no documentation on how the new spout attaches or stores etc.The shiny metal pin needs to be pulled completely out of the way in order to lift up the cover and attach the fill spout. Then you’re magically supposed to know when you’re finished filling the car, pressure washer etc. not to force the flap down but rather to lift it up from the can just a smidge before it will easily close without bending things out of useable shape. Then finally lining up the flat edge of the pin through the two holes and pushed back to its original position thus keeping the flap secure and contents in the can where they belong instead of all over the garage floor.I really hate CARB (California Air Resources Board) and the ridiculously stupids hoops they create for me to jump through just to gas up the lawnmower.But I digress, overall same great NATO can as always with a genius solution that keeps the can compliant with modern storeage regs and requirements while also ultimately maintaining the reason the jerry can was and is so great in the first place, it works, and will probably last a lifetime or maybe even several..

Made in the USA

Don’t fall for cheap imitations, this one is the real deal

I've lived in FL most of my life, and having gasoline on hand for a generator is a must during hurricane season. I've always used the plastic 5 gallon variety from different manufacturers with several different spout configurations over the years. They all leak where the spout attaches to the can, and the "no spill" spouts make the leaking worse by several orders of magnitude.This year I acquired a hunting lease property and a gas guzzling swamp buggy. After filling it with gas a couple of times from the plastic cans I was over it, entirely, and began my search for a better system. I ordered 3 of these Wavian cans, and simply couldn't be happier with them. You can't MAKE these cans leak. I was prepared for the "environmentally friendly" nozzles that come with them to be just north of useless, but so far I don't have a single complaint about them. I purchased a "non-approved" old style nozzle for each can when I ordered the cans just in case, but I haven't needed to use them. The nozzles included with the cans require some pressure on the end of the nozzle while pouring, but they're well designed and don't leak. The first time I used these cans, I emptied a 5 gallon can into my swamp buggy in less than 3 minutes using the nozzle that came with it, and literally didn't spill a single drop. With the plastic cans, even with a vent, it would have taken much longer and at least a cup or two of gasoline would have wound up on the ground.I rarely write product reviews, and usually only when I'm pleasantly surprised and/or very impressed. If you use 5 gallon gas cans on the regular, do yourself a favor and buy one or more of these cans. They're by far the best gas cans I've ever used, and worth every penny of their price.

Top notch. If you're looking for a fuel can that's designed to fuel a Soviet military vehicle, this is your champion. No wonder the green and grey cans were sold out.

Inspected at arrival, all looked good. Lid seemed to seal tight, spout seals to can well, spout goes back when pressed into gas tank. But noticed one of two pop-rivets that holds the spout bracket on was gone. I found it on the floor where I had been working on it. I found a nut/bolt in the garage that fit (see photo) to hold it on, just have to be careful now because the bolt is pretty long and don't want it chewing into my fingers. Not a biggie, but finding it makes you wonder where QC was and what else might have been missed.
