Also known as Type II safety cans, these have two openings—one for filling, one for pouring. Safety cans are a safer choice than fuel cans for storing flammable liquids. They have a spring-loaded, self-closing lid; pressure-relief cap; flame arrester; and a vacuum-release valve for controlled pouring.

Color-coding typically indicates usage: red for gasoline, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene, and green for other liquids.

Style B have a steel roll bar that protects the spout, handle, and trigger during transport.

Style C have a rotating spout that flips down for pouring and up for storage.

Cans cannot be sold to the listed areas due to product labeling requirements.

Tip cans down for controlled dispensing, then swing them back to their upright position. These cans have a pressure-relief cap with built-in vacuum-release valve for controlled pouring.

Powder-coated steel can is for petroleum-based liquids.

Polyethylene plastic can is for chemicals and corrosives.

Carry and store petroleum-based liquids in these sturdy cans. Color-coding indicates usage: red for gasoline, yellow for diesel, and blue for kerosene.

The spout on Styles A and C automatically closes to prevent spills. Push the button to pour.

Flip the spout on Style B down for pouring and up for storage. Press the trigger to open a vent that allows smooth pouring without spills. Style B fuel cans cannot be sold to California due to local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds), or outside the United States and Canada due to product labeling requirements.

Store leftover hazardous liquids until they can be properly discarded. The spring-loaded, self-closing cap on these cans automatically vents to relieve excess vapor pressure, and a flame arrester protects against outside ignition.

Plastic cans are for aggressive chemicals and corrosives.

316 stainless steel cans are for liquids such as acetone, alcohol, ether, toluene, and xylene.

Galvanized steel cans are for petroleum-based liquids.
