My girl got this and a 1 1/4 filler for me.. thing spills all over the place, unless I tip it to a certain angle. either way, look for something better. I'm going to look for something to seal this spout.

I have used this "BLITZ" style can (with the screw on cap/nozzle) for many years with the same results -- leaks, fuel spills, seepage around the cap, etc...
A few months ago, I purchased a NATO style Jerry Can made by Wedco from an Army Surplus store. These cans have a superior cam-over locking system on the fuel cap -- best of all THEY DON'T LEAK like the Blitz can. The cap and nozzle on the NATO style can make a positive seal. You can lay the can on its side, upside down, whatever -- and it won't leak. The only work of caution with the NATO style can is to make sure you get a filler nozzle that is vented -- there are some nozzles out there (galvanized steel with a flexible steel spout) that are not vented and take forever to empty with lots of "glug, glug, glug)". Wedco makes a vented spout designed for this style of can -- do youself a favor, spend a few extra bucks and get proper filler nozzle.

I had been plotting to get storage for two 5-gallon NATO cans for some time. The main reason for needing them was a trip I was to take into an area where I would run out of gas before coming to another gas station. I needed enough reserve to get back out without walking.
These cans are classic - I have used mine several times when walking out of a remote location was the only alternative.
