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.
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 Scepter 5 Gal Gas Can in Red is about 5 gallons of capacity, and it doesn't pretend to be more. No buyer reviews yet, so this Scepter gas can has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Scepter: 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 you order the Scepter 5 Gal Gas Can in Red, 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.

Pick the Justrite Type II Gasoline Safety Can if you want our higher-rated option (6.8/10); stay with the Scepter 5 Gal Gas Can in Red for more capacity (5 gal) and a spill-controlled spout.
We rate it 6.7/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Only if your manual agrees. A listing that names a long list of compatible machines is the seller's claim, not proof of fit: match the part number in your operator manual before you order.
Its listing states 5 gallons of capacity. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your exact machine is worth confirming first.
Size: it holds 5 gallons. Buy what you will burn in a month or two; gas doesn't keep forever. Local rules: spout designs vary by state; check the listing if you are in California or another state with its own can rules.
