5 Gal. Smart Control Gas Can

Hello Cheri. Some fuels have a pink tint due to added dyes, and most fuels will leave a residue under certain conditions. The composition of the fuel and how it evaporates or degrades determines the nature and extent of the residue. Hope this information helps.

Hello Kassandra, our gas cans can handle any grade of fuel

Hi Molly - 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. Screw on the black cap of the spout to the neck of the can and press down on the green tab to tighten or loosen it. Every automobile/equipment is different, so it is not a one size fits all situation. The SMARTCONTROL gas 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. Again, 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 Service team at 1-800-387-6018 or email customerservice@scepter.com if we can be of any further assistance. We are here to help!

Hi Michail - Customer satisfaction is very important to Scepter. We apologize for your experience.

Alexandra - Customer satisfaction is very important to Scepter. It is safe to store your gas can either full or half full as long as the gas can had not been modified and is secured in an upright position. Please ensure that you tighten the cap fully outside of the shed first before storing it. This product should only be used with the spout it came with at the time of purchase. There are environmental regulations (EPA) that must be met on all fuel cans sold in the US. These cans are certified by EPA and CARB and sealed for emissions. When it is hot in the summer you can expect the fuel can to balloon a bit as the gases force the can to expand and when the temperature drops the fuel can may contract and the sides pull in a bit. We do recommend regular venting, particularly before each use. Please contact our Customer Care team at 1-800-387-6018 or email customerservice@scepter.com if we can be of any further assistance.
