This report is about a Garage Boss brand 5 gallon fuel container with "Press N Pour" spout. The button in the spout which controls the flow of gasoline is not properly sealed and, when pouring, gasoline spills out around the button in an uncontrolled manner. This gasoline can go anywhere and is a serious fire hazard. You can research this problem with this product and find that it is not uncommon. I reported via the Garage Boss corporate web site on two occasions and have not received a reply.

Purchased two 2-gallon plastic fuel containers from Walmart on Aug 5 at the Airway Heights, WA store. Containers made by Specter Corp. Both containers leak fuel when trying to pour. A rubber gasket is provided which came placed between the spout and the cap. When tightened in this position the gasket slips out of place coming out between the spout and cap. Tried putting the gasket between the spout and container but will not stay in place. Found that placing the gasket between the cap and spout there is a ridge on the spout with a small notch where a gasket could fit but the gasket provided is 2-3 time thicker than the notch so will not fit. The leak is not a small leak but a fair size stream which creates very quickly a large fire hazard. Product needs to be recalled immediately as a extreme safety hazard.

NY City restaurant owner was injured and sustained property damage to his restaurant as the result of a defective product. The defective product was a Sievert Mapp Gas cannister containing UN 1077 Propylene Gas. The gas cannister was defective because it had a gas leak which resulted in a fireball when the restaurant owner attempted to use it. The restaurant owner was using the Mapp Gas cannister with a corresponding Mapp Gas torch. The torch was being used to repair a pipe in the kitchen. As soon as he turned on the torch the leaked gas burst into a fireball. This scene was captured on the restaurant's security camera. The video has been preserved. The restaurant owner suffered a burn to his finger and damage to the restaurant's property.

I was using my credit card to pay for gas in the morning, I swiped it and started to pump gas and realized that gasoline sprayed all over my car, pants, feet, and shoes from the hose. The attendent ran out and turned off the pump. About an entire gallon of gas sprayed all over me and ruined my clothes and new shoes. I had gasoline all over me for the rest of the day and my foot started to burn during the day.

I put my Harbor Freight transfer fuel pump (63847) in a 5-gallon can of gas to transfer fuel to my car (like I've done many times before) and when I switched it on, gasoline started gushing out through the battery compartment and the on/off switch so I instinctively switched it off. Moments later I realized that could have caused a spark! It should be impossible for the fuel to enter the battery compartment and the on/off switch but it did. This product should be recalled immediately before it injures or kill someone.

I was refueling our garden tractor (riding mower) using a "Flo n’ go Superflo" gasoline transfer pump on a 5-gallon gasoline can. When I pumped the handle of the Flo n’ go Superflo, gasoline leaked out of the Superflo handle and all over the gasoline can & tractor creating an extremely hazardous situation. Fortunately, I was able to clean the spilled gasoline without it igniting so there were no injuries. I contacted the manufacturer's Custom Service and was informed that the unit was past the manufacturer's 1-year warranty and no service or repairs were available. Without maintenance, the product either works OK or leaks badly, creating a serious hazard. http://www.flo-n-go.com/products/product_superflo/

I bought 2 transfer pumps from walmart, the pumps were very poorly made! The hose it self is garbage it doesn't fit well onto the pump it can fall off when your pumping fuel it spills and leaks

The threaded opening of this ExtremePowerUS 14 gallon portable fuel tank became disconnected from the tank despite being a molded portion of the tank. This occurred when attempting to remove the gas cap from the opening. The gas cap to tank fitting had been problematic since buying the tank in December of 2021 through Amazon. This contributed to a spill that fortunately did not result in a fire.
