Customer Reviews

Practical and good quality
Newly formulated gas has ethanol added to it and one side effect is that ethanol attracts water. My old plastic gas can let air in and the result was a lot of water in the container. So in addition to keeping gas vapors out of the air which supposedly helps with smog, the Blitz can keeps mositure from entering the can.

Regarding the can itself, it's very nice. Solid metal and will last forever with reasonable care. Nice that's it made in the US, too. Blitz also sells a varity of replacement parts and different spouts which is appreciated. I just wish Blitz made a 2-gallon metal can as well.

Solid can, lousy spout
I really don't like the plastic "spill-proof" spout that comes with this can. There's a rubber gasket that wants to come out and actually *prevent* the valve from closing, which completely defeats its purpose.

This is a very solid can, so I'm glad I bought it. But do yourself a favor and buy the traditional metal spout for it (Blitz 12040 3/4" Metal Screw On Spout) -- you'll be glad you did.

Blitz Jerry Can
The absolute best design for a gas can. Easy to fill, easy to pour (with a metal spout) and easy to carry. Makes all other gas cans pathetically inferior.
