Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased a model 5600 (5 gal.). I'm not sure if it has the same spout as this #6600. If it does, I would not recommend the gas can (apologies if this review is irrelevant). It is a self-closing spout with a spring (the nozzle must be twisted then depressed to dispense gas). The spring is stiff and difficult to press down. There is a little plastic lip that is intended to hook on the edge of the gas hole which is too small and therefore constantly slips off (shutting off the gas dispensing). Given the angle of the spount, I can't dispense all the gas into my car. Finally, the gas comes out very slowly when it does come out. It is a frustrating experience to wrestle with this can while trying to dispense gas into my car.
I've been shopping around the area and simply can't find a plastic gas can without some inconvenient "leak proof" dispenser system. Why is it so hard to find an old fashioned gas can that works? I can only conclude that there is some conspiracy out there -- probably a new EPA regulation (well intentioned, no doubt, but unfortunately resulting in products that don't work). Please, I can screw a simple threaded cap on all by myself. I would have given the product a 1-star, but my guess is that it's not Midwest Can's fault.
To their credit, Midwest Can customer service is very responsive. They are sending me a replacement cap for "gas storage," i.e. a simple threaded cap. I'll just buy a funnel to get gas into my car.
