Eagle Gas Cans
Anyone here have/use them? Are they worth the $$$? I'm sick and tired of these shitty plastic cans leaking and letting fumes escape.

I had one like that a few years ago (might have been a different manufacturer). Worked as advertised, but honestly, save your money and buy yourself an extra sandwich from subway and stick with the plastic one and replace it every few years.

Those are the best ones with pop off valves. These new plastic ones that don't let themselves vent suck ass. They look like they're about to explode during the day and then during night they implode on themselves. All it does is destroy the plastic and you're forced to buy another one. FUCK YOU STILL ASS LAWS! GASOLINE EVAPORATES! YOU CAN'T STOP IT. |

I find that I replace a gas can every 2nd or 3rd year, but they usually only hold gas for a day or two at a time.

We have to use safety cans at work. They are great cans and last forever.
Won't easily tip over either like most plastic cans. |

I've been using the same plastic can for 5+ years now. It swells up every so often but not to the point where it's unusable.

I have 2 old 5 gallon versions (minus the yellow funnel thing) that work great. No fumes and no tipping over.

I use the VP plastic containers.
You can get a five gallon set up for about the same price as that eagle one gallon. I have both round and square, but going forward I would stick to square ones only.
