Here in Florida, we just escaped Hurricane Dorian. We did not need to start our gas generator, which was probably just as well, as I discovered that both of our plastic 5 gallon containers were leaking. Reading the reviews, I ordered 4 of these cans and they arrived today. They are absolutely fantastic quality, built like a WWII armored tank. Filled them up and no leaks. The fittings and finish are of a quality that one would have expected 50 years ago. The first time you open the filler, it is very stiff, but after that, it opens and closes easily. the cap has a very heavy duty seal and the locking pin is a sensible safety measure. The advertising says that the 3 handles on top are if you wish to carry multiple cans. The reality is that you only carry one, and you use the middle handle. if you need help, 2 persons can use the 2 outer handles. If you spend far less and buy a plastic can, you will be wasting your money and regret it in the medium term. also, I checked out the Chinese metal copies of this can and they are of a lighter gauge metal and have basically cheapened the proper specs that uses.
Absolutely top quality product.
