I have never yet seen a "spill proof" spout that you can use to pour gas in a car without spilling EVERYWHERE. Has anyone tried it with their car?

I bought 2 of the cans, and yes they will leak, just like all other plastic nozzles. If I could make a recommendation to B&S;, it would be to produce the can with the old military lock on nozzle like we had in the military. Also, the can is awkward to hold with 1 hand and turning the nozzle with the other so the fuel will flow out, when it has 5 gallons in it.

I tried the "spill-proof" spout once. Unless you need to waste some gas or maybe cover your hand with gas, I would recommend removing the spout and using a funnel when pouring the gas. Personnally, I have emptied the top portion of the container into a smaller container which I then use to fill whatever needs filling. Basically, the can is used for storage until it is empty enough to pour directly from. This is yet another example of government intervention "improving" our daily lives.

I've used 1 the two I have and have had nothing but trouble trying to re seal it.

More than a few of the reviewers I had read discussed using the 7/8" hose to put gas into their cars. At least one said the 7/8" will go into his vehicle that takes regular unleaded gas. One reviewer reported that he temporarily got his stuck in the car inlet because there was a small brass lip at the end of the nozzle. His solution was to file the lip off and has not had any issue since doing so. A repeated comment was that in order to empty the can into ones car one would need a funnel to allow more space between the car and the gas can; otherwise, the can may not be tilted high enough without hitting the side of the car.

Unless you have a raging pack of monkeys in your car rampaging through cargo, I don't see why not. I didn't experience any fumes (although you might contest that from this answer) and it was very spill-resistant for me.

Not well at all. We had one for a while several years ago and loved it! but it broke (they do seem to be a bit delicate.) Then my husband finally replaced it recently and the new one is a total pain - if you pour in a very slow trickle you can avoid dumping most of your liquid on the counter but I have yet to manage without some spillage. I think they must have made the spout smaller.

Yes. I threw mine in the trash and got a Contigo autoseal. It doesn't leak at all and I'm much happier with it.

Yes, there fore you can not use the "old" style spout. You will have to buy the "new" style. This is a very good quality can. We use it to carry Gas for our small generator when traveling in our Travel trailer. We carry it in our Tahoe, absolutely no gas odor.

I was curious so I watched it. It was so complicated it looked like a parody commercial on Saturday Night Live.When I decide which one to buy I'll be sure an old tried and true spout can be installed on it. After watching that video I can't imagine going through all those gyrations just to pour gas. Just buy a decent funnel.

Not spill-proof. The lid is hinged...doesn't screw down. Take it to parties only if your wife is in the passenger seat holding it. I actually don't like it. Go on eBay and get a Pfaltzgraff Insulated Thermal Carafe (not mfd anymore I don't think). Glass interior, like the old thermos bottles, screw-down lid...you might have a chance of taking it to a party...try to find one nib.

I bought it for gas conrainer like this (http://www.amleo.com/spill-proof-self-venting-gas-can-5-gal-red/p/EC5/) and it doesn't fit. They didn't takeit back. It was waste of money.

Definitely spill resistant. Very good at not spiliing. Plug it into your car it works great. Your laptop/desktop will not have enough power. If you buy an AC adapter make sure output is at least 1 amp. I bought a 500 milliamp (.5 amp) and it wasn't enough power.

No. It is spill proof by being weighted in the bottom and the funnel like shape of the spitoon prevents spillage. Mine sits perfect on top of the cup holder in my truck

Not sure what you would use but it does not come with anything to close the drinking hole. I would add that I haven't had a problem with it spilling in the car.

I've used this to transfer fuel and it worked well. However, make sure the tubes are inserted firmly because the pressure can cause the exhaust tube to fall off and thus cause fluid to spill all over. In my case, it was gasoline..not fun!

Have to say, no I haven't found a non-spill cap. I ended up buying a couple of 5 gallon water jugs with a spigot. Even then the spigot's break, or one of mine did. Good luck in finding something that works for the 5 gallon jug.

I personally would NOT put any gas storage container in the trunk of a car on a hot day, except for very short periods, of time 10-15 minutes tops, and only for emergency purposes. This is a good can, but the "no spill" feature I think is related more to the transferring of liquid from one container to another, not from one place to another - atleast that's what I use it for.

Depends on your car of course. The bottom does mine, but it's not stable. Especially if you have it filled all the way. I don't recommend it. And it is not a complete seal - it does drip/leak of you tip it or turn it sideways. Still love it, though.

Yes you can, and I do mean pour all contents (3,4,5) gallons in your auto's gas tank. I've done it twice and without a spill. You may need to adjust the spout towards the end to pour all of your gas from can into gas tank.
