Scepter FSCD552 Fuel Container with Spill Proof SmartControl Spout, Yellow Diesel Can, 5 Gallon

After owning more than a dozen different types of fuel cans over the years, I recently purchased one of these for my diesel fuel. I was pleasantly surprised by the functionality and practicality of the design. Let me quickly run down why I love this fuel can so much.Ergonomic handle locations: While this may seem like a small thing, it's not something that every fuel can achieves. The combination of the top handle and back handle, make it easy to tip and pour this can even when completely full. It is well balanced so when you are placing pressure on the spout release to fill your machine you can comfortably hold it on the back handle.Spout locking mechanism: There are many different methods that fuel can manufacturer use to lock their spouts in place for transport. This is by far my favorite. No knuckle, busting or hard twisting to open the fuel can for refilling. Just press down the release with your thumb and easily twist it off.Fuel dispensing button: The green button on top of the spout for dispensing your fuel is also well-designed. there's a locking switch on top that prevents you from pressing it accidentally, and it's easy to engage and hold down while fuel fills your machine. Again, I've seen versions of this on many others that didn't work anywhere near well.Cons: The only criticism I have with the can is that fuel often gets trapped in the spout, and when you remove the cap from the end something always spills out. It's not a lot of fuel and I'm not sure how they would prevent that, but I really hate getting diesel fuel on my hands every time I take the cap off the end. I'm not deducting a star from my rating for this annoyance though. This is something I feel is a problem with fuel cans.Summary: After owning this fuel can for several months, I went ahead and bought another for kerosene and plan to buy another for gasoline this summer. It is become my favorite design for a fuel can by a longshot.

This is a excellent product

Easy to handle with top and back handles. Easy to pour but you do need two hands. Has never spilled on me.Always a couple drops left in the spout, putting the cap back on always gets a tiny bit on your fingers.

Had trouble using at first but after I used it a couple of times and got use to it works as advertised.

Excellent

I may have to reach out to support to find out the proper method of filling this can. The diesel nozzle at the gas station does not fit in the can causing diesel to be spilled all over. I would recommend avoiding this can for diesel. I did purchase the yellow can designed for diesel.

The media could not be loaded. I have had great luck with this jug. No leaks. Pours out fast like old style jugs. Large pour button. Screen to keep out debris.

Hard to push in to release the fuel. Would not recommend
