Full listing title: Scepter 5G Gas Can with Spill Proof SmartControl Spout, Diesel Only, Yellow
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, labelled for diesel. 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, labelled for diesel, so not for your snow blower.
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 Diesel Can, Yellow 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 Scepter 5 Gal Gas Can in Red first.
Before the Scepter 5 Gal Diesel Can, Yellow ships, 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.
