Safety Cans

Also known as Type I safety cans, these have a single opening for both filling and 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; and a flame arrester.

Powder-coated steel cans are for petroleum-based liquids. Color-coding typically indicates usage: red for gasoline, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene, and green for other liquids.

Safety Cans with Built-In Spout

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.

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.
