Improperly trimmed green lock ring causes leaks.
Improperly trimmed green plastic lock ring prevents the nozzle from seating properly and causes leaking around the base of the nozzle. This is a quality assurance problem and a serious safety hazard. The fix is simple enough. And not all cans will have this problem.
You should return the can if it has this problem. But it is possible to fix in the field if you are confident in your capabilities.

Hi RSailor - Customer satisfaction is very important to Scepter. We apologize for your experience. The green tabs on the child lock ring beneath the unlocking tab are designed there so that it makes it easier for the consumer to unlock the child lock. These tabs make the unlocking tab easier to flex with the thumb/finger in order to disengage the child lock and easily open the container for the standard adult. We STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST using this can with any modifications. Please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-387-6018 or email customerservice@scepter.com so that we can resolve this for you. We are here to help!

Hi - We apologize for your experience. Customer satisfaction is very important to Scepter. Similar to medication packaging, gas/diesel cans must also adhere to strict child resistance packaging laws. All fuel containers sold in the United States must come equipped with a child-safety lock and adhere to environmental regulations (EPA). This product should only be used with the spout it came with at the time of purchase. This can is designed to be used with your palm. Step 1; Vent the fuel can by slowly unscrewing the cap, allow all the pressure to escape. Once vented re-tighten cap. You may find that placing the fuel can flat on the ground and actuating the spout once or twice prior to use may allow the green pad to slide easier during operation. Step 2: Flip up dark lever on back of spout with your palm. Step 3: With the dark green lever still flipped up, push the entire light green pad forward. It will be stiff as that is part of the child resistant feature. You may find that placing the fuel can flat on the ground and actuating the spout once or twice prior to use may allow the green pad to slide easier during operation. Step 4: Tilt can and pour. The spout has a channel for venting when pouring. The “screen” you see in the neck of the fuel can is actually a safety device called a flame mitigation device (FMD). Its inclusion in fuel containers is part of a 2020 U.S. law to improve overall safety. It does not make it safe to mix Gas and Fire, which remains extremely dangerous, but helps to protect the consumer against situations of potential misuse. Do not ever remove or modify the FMD. We understand that filling the containers now requires the user to learn to rest the pump in the center of the FMD, on the steps, to fill at full speed. You can also choose simply to take your time filling the container. We have posted both fill and pour instructions online at https://www.scepter.com/safety/instructional-videos/ which should help. Please contact our Customer Care team at 1-800-387-6018 if we can be of any further assistance. We are here to help!

Please contact our customer care team at 1-855-857-3252 or email customerservice@scepter.com so we can resolve this for you. .

Needs strainer removed
The can is great once you get gas in it. Could not pump gas into it due to the strainer, pump kept clicking off.
Removed strainer with a screwdriver, pried it out.

Hello - The screen (strainer) you describe is a flame mitigation device (FMD) for consumer protection. Their inclusion in fuel containers is about to become law. Unfortunately there are people who misuse fuel and can end up severely injured. Our goal is the safety of our customers, so we’ve added one ahead of the pending regulations. We understand that filling the containers can take a bit longer, but this does add an extra layer of protection for consumers who don’t handle fuel responsibly. The FMD should NEVER be removed from the container and if it is removed we recommend that the container be disposed of. Gas and diesel pumps are different. The FMD contains two internal ledges that the pump must rest on when filling depending on your fuel type. Diesel pumps rest on the first ledge, and gasoline pumps must be inserted to reach the second ledge. We have posted both fill and pour instructions online at www.scepter.com/starthere/ which should help. If you require any additional troubleshooting, please contact our customer care team at 1-855-857-3252

Leaks A LOT!
I was really impressed with how much these fuel cans leaked. I opened them up to find wadded up rubber gaskets on three of the 4 I bought and no gasket on the 4th. Shouldn’t have to replace parts on some new, and so simple as a fuel can. I wouldn’t buy these again or recommend them unless it’s your ONLY option.

Just ok.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in a farm, we always need gas and gas containers of various sizes and especially 5 gallon. Whereas this one definitely fits the bill I found the nozzle faulty in design. You have to use both hands to release the gas and fill while keeping stabilized. It was a but more difficult to use for me. Hubby wasn't impressed either. I'm not sure I'd recommend.

Great quality gas can!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with the Scepter 5 gallon smart control gasoline container. It's so easy to fill and pour. I have definitely noticed less spills versus a standard gas can. The nozzle is excellent and easy to control. This is perfect for filling lawn mowers with gasoline and just to have on hand for any gasoline needs. I highly recommend it!

Sturdy can
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 5 gallon gas can took me a few minutes to figure out, even after thoroughly reading the instructions. Removing the cap was slightly difficult, mostly because I find hard to get a good grip near the "teeth" of the spout. Once open, I did have to fill the can a bit more slowly due to the flame mitigation device. I do wish the can had a handle on the side opposite the nozzle, but I am able to prop it against my leg while pouring. The buttons were not difficult for me to push or to hold, but it took me a while to figure out what exactly I needed to do to get the fuel to be dispensed. For a large can like this, I wish it were easier to maneuver. On the other hand, I appreciate the safety features on a can that will have more fuel in it while in storage.

Lots of safety features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fuel tanks lets me control the flow amount of fuel I need and has lots of safety features. It has a flame mitigation in the opening of the can which helps reduce the chance of a fire or explosion. Inside the tank it looks like a white mesh plastic item. To prevent spills it has a press down tab which removes the fuel tanks cap and it has a fuel tank lid at the tip of the nozzle.

Nice Concept
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to get this gas can in hopes that it was going to be one of the best gas cans I have ever owned. Unfortunately this is not the case with this one, the concept is awesome; however, the design is awful. there are so many steps to try to get the gas to pour out and I have yet to find a way to not have it spill. The lever you have to pull and push is so hard to actually move and it doesn't have a vent so the flow is super slow; which makes this can almost impossible to use if you are not superman and have three hands. This gas can is actually more work than the normal gas cans. I honestly would not recommend this gas can, unless you are purchasing one for its looks and not functionality.
