Full listing title: Eagle 5 Gallon Type I Red Safety Gas Can for Gasoline
Rated from the listing's specs, no buyer reviews yet
What it's made for: storing a season's gas safely in the garage.
Two gas cans of the same capacity, closest to it on our rating, each with a dated price.
The capacity the listing states. Five gallons is a lot of gas to keep in the garage for a snow blower: buy what you'll burn in a month or two.
This one holds 5 gallons, per the listing, as a Type I safety can.
Keep no more than you'll burn in a month or two. Gas goes stale while it sits, and stale gas is behind a lot of November no-starts; a stabilizer buys time, not forever.

Our take
The best thing about the Eagle 5 Gallon Type I Safety Gas Can is 5 gallons of capacity. No buyer reviews yet, so this Eagle gas can has to win you over on paper. Our main reservation: a can only helps if you buy no more gas than you will burn in a month or two. We'd pick it if you want fuel on hand before the first storm; otherwise, put it next to the Justrite Type II Gasoline Safety Can first.
Before the Eagle 5 Gallon Type I Safety Gas Can goes in your cart, check what you'll store: 5 gallons should be what you burn in a month or two, so gas doesn't sit and go stale.
It holds 5 gallons. Buy what you will burn in a month or two; gas doesn't keep forever.
Spout designs vary by state; check the listing if you are in California or another state with its own can rules.
Away from the house, the furnace and the water heater, in a ventilated spot.
