Full listing title: SureCan 5 Gallon Type II Storage Container – Rotating Spout, Self-Venting Design & Spill-Controlled Dispensing – Durable Multi-Purpose Utility Can (Red, SUR5SFG2)
Rated from the listing's specs, no buyer reviews yet
What it's made for: keeping fuel ready before the first storm.
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 II 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.
The seller states, word for word, in the SureCan 5 Gallon Type II Can listing:

Our take
The best thing about the SureCan 5 Gallon Type II Can is 5 gallons of capacity. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 6.3/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. The catch with this Surecan gas can: 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 Diesel Can, Yellow first.
Before you order the SureCan 5 Gallon Type II Can, 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 Scepter 5 Gal Diesel Can, Yellow if you want our higher-rated option (6.5/10).
We rate it 6.3/10 (fair). 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. Storage: away from the house, the furnace and the water heater, in a ventilated spot.
