Review: This is the Jerry can that actually pours fast, will last, and doesn't leak (so far) - We needed a quality gas can that would accompany our UTV on our many forays deep into the backcountry. After cheaping out on a no-name Euro-style, pseudo-Jerry gas can (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0DY7BXPZY), I was so disappointed in the construction quality and shortcuts taken that I didn't even try to do a leak test on it. Like most of the cheaper pseudo-Jerry cans, it had a protruding marriage seam where the two halves were welded together - including on the bottom of the can so it wouldn't sit flat on a horizontal surface. Back it went the next day and I ordered this Euro-type mostly NATO spec Wavian can made in Latvia. It cost almost twice as much as the one I sent back, but. It has the recessed marriage seam and definitely has thicker metal, better workmanship, and thicker paint. As they say, you get what you pay for. We filled it up and took it on a full-day shakedown test in Idaho's backcountry mounted on our UTV. The 40-mile round trip on the trailer was 50% stop-and-go traffic and 50% at interstate speeds with lots of winding curves. Next came the 65-mile round trip from the trailhead over rough, rocky, runoff carved backcountry roads. These roads were often off-camber, jilting side-to-side, plenty of bouncing up and down, including crawling over the occasional fallen tree limbs crossing our path, etc. it was like a poor man's version of a shake table experiment. As best as I could tell, the can didn't leak a drop. Note that we did take advantage of the safety pin that holds the lid tightly shut. It works and I highly recommend you use it. What I didn't like: 1. The plastic storage clip for the pour nozzle comes uninstalled and doesn't hold the nozzle well at all. Someone might make some good coin by selling one that will. Make it out of non-ferrous sheet metal please. 👍🏻 2. The accompanying pour spout fell a little short (pun intended). It fit the can fine and didn't leak but I found it too short for some applications. On the positive side, it is self venting and you don't have to Dremel off part of the vent because this Euro can is true to NATO spec and doesn't have the dubious plastic spark arrester in the way. Some reviewers have commented about the detached small diameter plastic pour adapter being ridiculously hard or impossible to insert into the end of the larger plastic pour nozzle. I agree. However, it took 3 minutes on the drill press putting chamfers on the mating ends of the nozzle and adapter to made it tolerable. Yes, they still fit snugly but it was no longer ridiculously difficult to attach and detach the adaptor. See attached pics. I can imagine using the adapter for better control filling smaller tanks like a 4-cycle power washer, a portable Honda generator, a lawn mower, a snow blower, etc. For more gas thirsty applications, we ordered a longer Euro-type spout at additional cost. In my opinion, it should be offered as an option on this Jerry can for those who value the versatility and accessibility the longer length provides (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B081HZGDDD). It too comes with that same useless plastic storage clip. 🙄 Edit 6/5/2025: I was able to get the plastic storage grip to hold slightly better - emphasis on "slightly". I used electrical tape to "fatten up the part of the nozzles that sits in the clip. It's a kludge that won't last long. Perhaps if you can get a large enough piece of heat shrink tubing... See three new pics attached.
Review: The real deal, sort of.... - This is a real, no kidding NATO specification 20 liter “Jerry Can”. It is made from the correct gauge sheet metal. The seams are recessed and continuously welded. The handle is the correct three position handle. Two people can share the load of a full container carried between them; one person can hold two empty cans together with one hand and one person can carry a full can by the center handle. This can has the correct NATO style opening and the correct leak proof lever lock lid with a rubber gasket and locking pin. The interior is coated for rust resistance although you may want to re-seal the interior with fuel tank sealer before using the can, just for extra life of the can. Everything about the CAN is correct and high quality. The can comes with a white plastic filter/spark arrester inserted into the spout of the can and extending into the interior of the can. This is really not necessary and just serves to make filling the can an annoying process. It is easily removed by threading a drywall or similar screw into the plastic sleeve and pulling it out with a pair of Vise Grips or Channel lock pliers. And then there’s the Nozzle that must be included with this “Fuel” can. That detachable nozzle that has a lever lock identical to the one on the lid and is meant to be attached to spout in order to pour fuel from the can. It is 100% Big Brother, Bureaucratic, Government mandated, JUNK. Remove that ridiculous contraption from that otherwise perfect NATO Jerry Can, along with that white plastic “filter” and throw both of those items in the nearest trash can. If you need an attachable pouring spout, buy a standard NATO style flexible nozzle and use that simple, functional, attachment. (see last photo - NOT included with the can) The one that comes with the can is unmitigated junk. So, overall, an excellent product that will likely give many years of service that is accompanied by some superfluous accessories that are easy to dispose of.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank God I found this and a good replacement spout, updated
*by P***L on August 11, 2024*

Thank you to our wonderful government for making it nearly impossible to find a gas can that is actually usable. As you can guess, and quite probably why you are looking at this review now, I was looking for a usable gas can. You can no longer get a cheap plastic gas can that doesn't have a child proof spout which makes it pretty much unusable for lawn equipment, and I wouldn't even use one for my car. This Jerry can saved the day when used in conjunction with a NATO Long-Nose Flexible Jerry Can Spout/Nozzle, Fits Wavian or VALPRO NATO Euro Military Spec Cans (Olive Drab). The Jerry can comes with a Child proof spout, but you can take that spout off and use the replacement spout which is just a plain old flexible spout. I didn't want to spend this much, but this is the way I had to go to get around what our government did in its infinite wisdom. The replacement spout does not fit the plastic spout holder riveted to the Jerry can. But that spout comes with a replacement plastic holder. I have not done this yet, and may not because I find it convenient just leaving them next to each other in the garage, but you can drill out the rivet and then using a small bolt, you can mount the replacement plastic holder onto the can. Note: using the Jerry can and replacement spout, I have not spilled any gas, no leaks, not even a gas smell in the car when bringing a newly filled can back home from the gas station. Not even my old plastic can before the child proof laws were passed worked this well. When I filled my old can, I had to keep it in the trunk or drive with the windows open. The Jerry can is air and liquid tight. However, as the seasons change, I would suggest periodically popping it open to equalize the air pressure inside the can. After using this for a while, I still like this can. However, it really needs a handle on the side or bottom. Trying to hold this at an angle to pour gas into the lawn mower, snow blower, etc., it gets heavy while waiting for the transfer of gas to complete. I find that I often have to stop for a minute or two to reposition my hands. But even with this minor issue, this can still beats the heck out of those new Leak Proof cans when used with the replacement spout I mention above.
