I'll NEVER own another fuel can that claims to be either "no spill" or "ventless." Buy the VP off of Amazon and don't forget the hose. I've been running a red one for about 15yrs and just recently bought a Kawi green one as my non-premix jug.

Scrap the plastic and get a nice metal can.
Like the one Lowes carries the 5 gallon metal can with the removeable heavy plastic spout. I also have a few Vp cans but i prefer the steel..

I like the middle handle. Buddy I ride with all the time has a couple we use all the time. I have the VP style jug linked and prefer his over those just easier to handle.
I have this one and the handle in the middle is very helpful when it is full.Ialso have a VP,but the bike master is the better jug.

Here in The People's Demokratik Republik of Kalifornia, You must use a safety can. You know, the kind that only leaks when you try to store, pour, or transport gasoline? It's because gasoline is very flammable and causes cancer in laboratory rats. Thus, you must use the one that is guaranteed to get gasoline all over you and your surroundings whenever you touch it. You know, for safety.

I'm seriously thinking about the Tuff-Jug. Keep reading reviews of them cracking though.

I have had 2 for years and have never had a problem. Make sure the cap has an air hose inside. Just hold it down till the tank is full, lift off, no mess, no spill.

Is that like the old Link fill? Those were amazing. Everyone in the northeast used them in the nineties before their patent got poached and they stopped making them.

How do you know when it's full? Does it shut off automatically like the risk racing nozzle?

California at its finest. I haven't found any of those anti spill cans to be anti-spill. You can't buy the old school cans without the "safety" features here anymore either. Not because it's illegal, but because nobody carries them. I still have one from back in the day and the spout dry rotted off. . . so I went to Home Depot and fashioned a new hose with some PVC fittings and one of those flexible PVC pieces they sell. Works wonderfully.

I like the VP plastic jugs myself that are posted above when I buy a can now days.

I bought one of the cheap shit plastic ones from Cycle Gear. . . There's a reason Cycle Gear sells it. . . it's because it's the cheapest and lowest quality piece of shit they could offer. I'd pass on the no-name jugs and anything from Cycle Gear if I were you.

I have wasted so much money on those stupid no spill plastic cans. I purchased the metal eagle cans from HD and noticed equipment rental stores sell them in out area. They are expensive for a can, but worth it in every way.

I got tired of the junk out there and bought Scepter Mil-Spec gas cans.
They are made in Canada and you can get the civilian version from dstactical.com
These cans are not carb/epa compliant, however they don't leak and are nearly indestructible.
