“Bottom Nozzle Can” Makes Refueling Easier
“No more spilling gas or dealing with difficult-to-use caps required by the EPA to prevent harmful environmental emissions,” says Kevin Jackson, director of marketing for the Utah-based company.
“The SureCan is made of six layers of HDPE for durability. The first layer is EVOH which creates a barrier so you don’t smell the gas and it protects hydrocarbons from leaking through,” he says, adding it also has a spring-loaded flip lid seal cap to make filling the can with fuel easier.
Designed by a cabinet maker who was frustrated with spilling gas when filling his ATV, the biggest challenge was creating a valve with a perfect seal for the flexible, rotating UV-protected nylon spout. SureCan also features a thumb release trigger to control the flow.
Instead of holding a heavy can while pouring, SureCan can be set down on a mower or tractor as the fuel is being dispensed. The flexible nozzle rotates down more than 180 degrees.
The U.S.-made can was named a top product by television’s Shark Tank.
“Our biggest market has been lawn care professionals, but it’s great for anyone,” Jackson says, including homeowners, outdoorsmen and farmers. It also meets OSHA and MSHA standards for use at industrial, construction and mining sites.
The 5-gal. $60 SureCan comes in three colors for gas, diesel and kerosene. The company also offers 2-gal. gas cans ($50) and clear utility cans ($60) with 8-in. spigots handy for everything from water to DEF.
SureCan is available at big box stores or through the business’ website.
