I would have given the Scepter product a zero star if I was able to do so. The Scepter ECO Spout #00006 is the most poorly designed spout that has probably ever been placed on the market. Agree that it is child proof, but it is also teen proof, adult proof and every other kind of proof one would c...

I need to tell you about a terrible experience that I had with one of your products. My daughter called home telling me that she ran out of gas in her car. She was on the side of the highway in a unlit desolate area. I rushed into a local Walmart and purchased one of your 5 gallon cans that has what...

DO NOT BUY

DO NOT BUY
This is the dumbest design I have ever seen. I guess the expression; Buyer Beware is true. I made the mistake of buying 2 of the 5 Gal. gasoline and what a waste of money. Nothing was wrong with the first generation of spouts. And then the manufacture said, Made in USA . If you w...

Gave my husband a 1 gallon SMARTCONTROL gasoline container to sample. He had no problems filling the container. The pouring was good, no spillage or leaks. Only suggestion would be to somehow make the spout flexible. Good product

Over the last couple of years I've used, or should I say tried to use one of your gas cans. I just recently bought a new one for myself and just like the older ones, it made a mess out of me, spraying, spilling, dripping gas all over. I'll not buy another one. Scepter Manufacturing Owner needs to t...

I purchased a 2 gallon 00002 gas can last year, in my 60 years of using various gas cans, you have figured out how to create a spout that is impossible to use for filling a lawn mower without spilling gas. AND I have tried everything I can think of other than pouring the gas into a different cont...

Now that I have found who made these ridiculous Gas cans, I will know who to suite in the event of an accident. These gas cans with these spouts are a accident waiting to happen. They waste more gas and don t work they are designed. They are more aggravation and unsafe. I had them bend on me caus...

When the consumer has to watch a video to understand how a supposedly simple product like a gas can works, then that may be a sign that the product is over-engineered. I was given an empty Scepter gas can by a neighbor who was moving and filled it with 5 gals. of gas during a recent hurricane scare...

I paid $17.99 for a gas can with a "child-proof" spout that does not work for adults either! After several minutes of trying to get the gas from the can into our lawn mower, all my husband and I had accomplished was gasoline soaked hands and mower. We finally gave up and removed the spout. It actual...

Bought yellow diesel can and it was the worst buying decision I have ever make. What a piece of junk. It is not usable. Pure junk....do not buy. I tried calling corporate office and no one is there. I hope that they are out of business because of the junk product they sell.

The 5 gallon EPA CARB Ameri-Can gas can is unsafe. The spout clip when pressed sprays out a violent stream of gasoline which is still contained in the spout itself even when the gas level is low in the can. I had the misfortune to experience the wrath of it last Saturday when trying to put gas in m...

This ridiculous gas can is singularly the worst product I've ever purchased. Usually when I buy a disappointment, I'm able to chalk it up to just getting what I paid for, but at $14 from Lowe's it's horrible. They must have the market saturated, because it's all that's offered at Home Depot and Walm...

I just tried calling this company regarding my Scepter USA 2 gal gas can that has folded in on both sides as if it had been crushed.

I should have read the reviews first, live and learn. The 1 gallon fuel container is unusable. The spring loaded "safety valve" has a spring so STRONG it will likely collapse the fuel tank on my chainsaw. It's so awkward to use even if I were able to juggle the can and chainsaw at the same time. Jee...

I guess I am 3 times as dumb as the rest of the people that have bought this can.
Bought 3 #00003 cans ( AB205M) To store gas for my 7500watt generator. After putting fuel stabilizer in each can and dating them, I stored them for 1 year. I then decided to use the year old fuel in my 2015 Ford F-1...

i bought five D205S five gallon yellow diesel containers with black spouts. I've had them many years, and the containers themselves are very durable. The spout has a spring-loaded flange that, when unlocked and pushed back. releases the fuel. The operational procedure is similar to the one shown ...

Oh it probably is child proof, but definitely not spill proof and since there is no venting mechanism, the consumer must hold the gasping, dripping, product for several minutes to fill any tank larger than 2 gallons as it spews a few ounces of...

This is my first gas can rating ever. I've purchased three of these Ameri-Cans and they seem to work better than other more expensive cans I've had. No gas can seems to be completely leak proof at the spout but I've found that with these you need to make sure that the rubber gasket is in the rig...

Worst design possible..gets a RubGoldburg Top Ten Award.
Our Bureaucrats in Washington mandated these safety features. Optimistically they all have 3 Hands and enjoy these features. Over a 100 years of a normal pour spout was hazardous to our health!!!! Try this one, gas spilled all over.
