Better Fill Ups
Maker Brad Ouderkirk was fed up with spilling fuel on himself, his equipment, and his lawn (it happens to the best of us). So he created a Made in the USA gas can that eliminates spills as a better way to fill up.
SureCan dispenses fuel from the bottom, which makes it safer and more convenient to store and pour fuel. The durable container is not only easier to use, it also prevents any heavy lifting—and the flexible spout means no more awkward angles trying to fill a tank.
Brad didn’t stop at changing the dispensing location, he included a trigger release system to give you more control and an added measure of safety. Plus, he made the fill cap and spout child-proof, and the inner layer helps remove the smell of fuel. His redesign smartens up the filling up.

10/11/2017 10:56 AM@Dee Thank you, We do make them in Yellow for Diesel Fuel! It comes in the 5 Gallon Capacity only.

10/11/2017 10:59 AM@Dee I should clarify, we sadly don't offer the Yellow diesel can here at The Grommet, but that is available from SureCan directly if you're a diesel fuel user!

10/11/2017 11:07 AMDon't you still have to lift the can for filling anything above ground level? My heavy lifting days are over.
Trent – Special Guest
10/11/2017 11:20 AM@Tootie Thank you for your comments, yes you do have to lift the SureCan up but the great thing about SureCan is you can rest it on most of the machines you are filling and rotate the spout down into the tank. This way you are not holding the weight of the can. All gas cans require you to lift them, SureCan makes it less awkward and lot easier to do.

10/11/2017 11:14 AMIt sounds great, but the concern is the additional leakage areas (bottom articulated filler hose and upper release trigger) compared to a basic fuel container with only a filler cap and a breather cap, both gasketed screw-on fittings, simpler in design.
What is the non-leakage warranty on these containers?
Thanks!

10/11/2017 11:24 AM@Michel Thank you for your comments! This is a valid concern, we have built SureCan with all the best materials and automotive standards. The seals and gaskets in the SureCan's valve and spout areas are the same material you would find in your car, lawnmower, or any other gas powered machines fuel tank. It has been tested and rated by the EPA and other testing facilities to last a long time without leaking.
If something does happen we do have a 1 year warranty that covers all manufacturer defects and we do have replacement parts available for purchase as well, you can replace the part and not the whole can.

10/11/2017 11:16 AMI bought one of these cans a few months ago - absolutely LOVE it! Bought it for our lawn equipment but have had to use it helping friends when they ran out of gas in their cars - the fold down spout went into their tanks with ease! (funny thing - just saw a guy this morning on the side of the road with one of those "other" gas cans pouring gas onto a makeshift cardboard funnel 'cause his can would work on his car - got gas all over himself)

10/11/2017 11:25 AM@Jeffrey Thank you very much for your great feedback! That is an occurrence we all know to well and gratefully you have a SureCan to come to the rescue!
Thank you for your support!

10/11/2017 11:22 AMDoes this can have an auto-stop once the tank is full that you are filling?
Trent – Special Guest
10/11/2017 11:27 AM@joann Thank you for your question. SureCan does not have an automatic shutoff or auto-stop once the tank is full. With SureCan you are in full control of the flow of fuel and you can easily see into the tank you are filling, this way you know when to stop.

10/11/2017 12:01 PMI have the 5 gallon and it's the best fuel "can" I've owned and I'm 69. My son is jealous.
It's made from very heavy materials and is air (vapor) proof.
Trent – Special Guest
10/11/2017 12:34 PM@Richard Thank you very much for the feedback and for your support! It is great to hear that SureCan helps you and is working great for you!

10/11/2017 12:04 PMDo you have a product that will accommodate kerosene? I would want to use it to store kerosene for periodic decanting into a smaller can used in a printing shop.
Trent – Special Guest
10/11/2017 12:35 PM@Daniel Thank you for your question, we do have a Kerosene specific (Blue) SureCan! This will work great for your needs!
Mike – Grommet Team
10/11/2017 12:35 PM@Daniel We don't carry that particular style on The Grommet, but SureCan does offer a 5 gallon blue kerosene can on their direct website. I hope this helps!

10/11/2017 12:28 PM@Trent, this is genius! I JUST spilled gas (AGAIN!) putting into my son's motorcycle... then I see this. Bought one. Well done!
Trent – Special Guest
10/11/2017 12:37 PM@Mitch That is great to hear you just bought one, thank you for the support! SureCan is great for Motorcycles, note: you can set it on the handlebars and rotate the spout into the tank, now you don't have to hold the weight of the can it just sits on the handlebars
