File complaint with Consumer Product Safety Commission. Risk of fire burns death etcNo Spill fuel jugs suck.
Only thing worse, is their lack of customer service.

I am going to go that route also. I jus bought a piece of junk safety can because that's all i could find. Except the expensive metal can. I am going to take the horrible plastic can i bought back and just give it to them and buy a metal one.Rules and mandates by people who may have never mowed their own grass or fueled up a chainsaw--Worried about a spill--New stuff has caused a lot more gas to hit the ground--I went to a local safety supply place and bought a metal safety can with spout--pull and pour--simple. Cost more but no regrets--David
It looks like the can in the first post is an older one. I have the newer No-Spill cans and they work great and are very durable so far. People that are complaining about them spilling, are not using them properly. You can't use them like a normal gas can, believe me, I tried. You have to insert the spout in the tank, at least as far as the notch on the spout, and push the button. When the gas level reaches the spout it shuts off, at which point you can top it off if you need or want to. If you are trying to eye ball the level, like you used to, you will spill it. It is simple: insert spout, push button, have faith. Watch the No Spill Jill video.
If you like your can, you can keep your can!If you go back and look, I stated that it would spill if you didnt burb the can, I never blamed the spilling on the spout. I learned how to use it, and most the time it spilled was my fault.
That said it never was 100 percent reliable and even if I did everything right, it would still fail to shut off like it should once in a while and spill fuel. Also the size of the spout prevents it being used as designed on all saws. You cannot get the spout in some small saws with small tank openings.
My biggest complaint is shown in the picture. The damn thing broke, just setting on a shelf, all by itself.
After all the positive comments about this brand/style of can I just posted this knowing that if others had problems with these they would come on a add to the thread. It seems I was right and am not the only one who had problems with these.
If you like yours and it fits what you need then great..
Really this is a option? No thanks I don't want to have to hoist a 5 gallon can just to fill a chainsaw. That clamp on spout looks like a leak waiting to happen anyway.
I have a older model of that jug I think I got it around 2005, mine got a small split under the handle at first.
a few years later the spout give out
I liked mine it was a good jug ....I've seen a few of the newer models with cap broke

Can to left was from the 80's They both swell up in the sun and need burped
Problem is they keep coming up with safety this and safety that to save stupid people from themselves.
