Spillproof gas cans are becoming increasingly popular, as they allow the transport of fuel from the pump to your lawnmower or vehicle without the danger of spilling or leaking gas into the environment. Spillproof gas cans can be turned upside down or left on their side without any gas escaping from the cans. Unlike traditional cans, they are self-venting and self-sealing, with a flow rate of up to 3 gallons per minute. Using a no spill gas can is also easier than the old style of screwtop cans.
