Pick 2 up from last sale. Make sure you tested and able slide nozzle back in store prior bringing it home with gas in it. Bad design and difficult to pour gas while holding super strong spring back and downward position.

Never store gas in any plastic cans if there is a chance temps will exceed 140 F. (like the car trunk or pickup w/ a cap. Gas can migrate thru the plastic.

All current generation gas cans are screwed up with the CARB compliant valve on the nozzle. If you don't want to have to fight with that valve, pull the nozzle apart, pry out the valve and spring, wash the remaining pieces in hot detergent solution and dry, then put a liberal coating of silicone caulking or epoxy on the inner piece then slide the outer piece down into position where it makes a good seal. Presto, you have an old fashion regular nozzle.

I prefer this gas can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008Y4FSTM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2T3VBEWX28M5C&coliid=IFN07GH87M80Q

At $97.50 shipped, it's expensive but imo, worth it.
