Like most people, I hate modern gas cans. The new nozzles that are supposed to control spills and emissions are usually so clumsy that they create spills instead.
That said, my 3.5 Johnson will only run for an hour on its internal tank, so I pretty much have to carry extra fuel with me. I skipped over the big box store gas cans and first tried an Eagle MFG. steel can. This wasn’t successful - the paint started flaking off almost immediately and it was hard to tell how much fuel was left. Finally, the first time I tried to refuel at anchor, I spilled a couple ounces of fuel because it was hard to control the flow into the small internal tank - not acceptable. I decided a plastic can was in order.
Next I tried this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W72GBC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cPCbAb52SYBNA. You know what? It works! The auto shut off feature actually functions and refueling while on the water is much easier.
Now I have the Eagle can for mixing batches of uniform size, and I take the No-Spill can out with me.
While I haven’t used this enough to determine how long lived the can will be, my first impression is very positive.
