Eagle 1417 Faucet Safety Can, 5 Gallon Capacity, 12-1/2" Width x 13-1/2" Depth, Red

What It Is

The Eagle 1417 Faucet Safety Can is a 5-gallon Type I safety can designed for storing and dispensing flammable liquids like gasoline for lawn mowers, trimmers, and other outdoor power equipment. It features a self-closing faucet for controlled, spill-free pouring, making it suitable for fueling small engines in workshops or garages.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Not a mower part: This is a fuel storage accessory, not a replacement part for any specific mower model or brand. It works with any gas-powered mower, but verify your mower’s fuel tank size—5 gallons is heavy (approx. 30 lbs full) and best for refueling multiple machines or larger tanks.
• Check nozzle fit: The faucet spout diameter is 3/4-inch. Ensure it matches your mower’s fuel tank opening (most are 1-2 inches) or use a funnel. No OEM or aftermarket mower-specific compatibility needed.
• Measure your space: Dimensions are 12.5" wide x 13.5" deep x 18" high (with handle). Confirm your storage shelf or cart can accommodate this footprint.
• Regulatory note: UL/ULC listed for flammable liquids (Class I, II, III). Not for diesel or kerosene unless specified.

Key Things to Know

• Safety features: Self-closing faucet and flame arrester prevent flashback. The can is made of 24-gauge steel with a powder coat finish—durable but heavy when full.
• No installation required: Ready to use out of the box; fill with gas, close cap, and use the lever-operated faucet. No tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The faucet can drip if not fully closed—check the O-ring seal periodically. Also, the red color is standard for gasoline, but some local codes may require yellow for diesel.
• Price point: At $382.52, this is a premium industrial-grade can. Cheaper plastic alternatives exist (e.g., No-Spill 5-gal for ~$35) but lack the same fire safety ratings.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a heavy-duty, safety-rated can for frequent gas storage in a workshop or commercial setting and value fire protection over cost. For occasional home use or smaller mowers, a cheaper plastic can with a flexible spout is more practical.
