Hello Larry C -Our apologies and we regret that you have had difficulty with the fuel can. This product is designed to be used with your palm. The video "How To Operate Your SmartControl Fuel Container" can be found at the following link and should help https://www.scepter.com/safety/instructional-videos/ To operate, VENT the fuel can first, then there are two steps to using this spout. Step 1. UNLOCK: Using your palm, press the small dark green lock tab up to unlock. Step 2: POUR: Place your fingers over the black grip and keeping the lock tab depressed and using your palm, squeeze to slide the large green block forward to release the fuel. The large green block will need to slide all the way forward to achieve maximum flow. For your convenience there is a hook on the underside of the SMART CONTROL spout that can rest on the lip of the receiving tank. Using the hook when pouring helps alleviate much of the weight. Tilt the can up from the bottom using one hand, following the instructions for the spout operation with the other hand. If you have any further questions or are still having difficulty, please reach out to our Customer Care Team at 1.800.387.6018 for assistance. Thank you and we are here to help!

Right nothing's coming out

Hello Mibeau -For best performance and safety, store gasoline in a Scepter 5‑gallon SmartControl can for no more than 6 months. After that, fuel quality can degrade, and the risk of phase separation increases, especially if the can is left open or exposed to heat.

Hello Marski - That is correct - The handle/spout goes into the round opening in the front of the container

Hello - Thank-you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to learn of your frustration with the can. There is a screen in the neck of the containers which is a flame mitigation device (FMD) for consumer protection. Unfortunately, there are people who misuse fuel and can end up severely injured. Our goal is the safety of our customers. We understand that filling the containers can take a bit longer, but this does add an extra layer of protection for consumers who do not handle fuel responsibly. The FMD should never be removed from the container. We have posted both fill and pour instructions online at https://www.scepter.com/safety/instructional-videos/ which should help. If you require any additional troubleshooting, please contact our customer care team at 1.800.387.6018.

Hello, Diggitd, please note that we do not share measurements to customers, as they are considered confidential and proprietary to Scepter.
