Eagle 5 Gallon Type I Yellow Safety Gas Can for Diesel with Flame Arrester, Self-Closing Lid, and F-15 Funnel, Made in the USA, Galvanized Steel Flammable Storage Can, UI50FSY

What It Is

The Eagle UI50FSY is a 5-gallon Type I safety gas can designed for storing and pouring diesel fuel. It includes a flame arrester, self-closing lid, and F-15 funnel, and is made in the USA from galvanized steel. It’s intended for use with diesel-powered lawn mowers, tractors, and other outdoor power equipment.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Fuel type: Diesel only. Do not use for gasoline, kerosene, or mixed fuels—the flame arrester and materials are diesel-specific.
• Container size: 5 gallons (18.9 liters). Ensure your equipment’s fuel tank capacity and fill neck can accept the F-15 funnel (2.5-inch opening).
• Regulations: Complies with OSHA, NFPA, and EPA requirements for workplace safety. Not for consumer use in all states (check local laws).
• Build: Galvanized steel; heavier than plastic cans. Confirm your storage area can support the weight (approx. 40 lbs full) and that the self-closing lid fits under shelves or in vehicle trunks.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty, leak-proof construction. The flame arrester prevents external ignition but reduces pour speed—expect slower fueling than standard cans.
• Installation: No assembly required. The F-15 funnel attaches directly to the can spout; ensure a tight seal to avoid spills.
• Gotchas: The self-closing lid can be stiff initially; practice opening before first use. The galvanized steel may dent if dropped. Not compatible with gas or ethanol blends.
• Maintenance: Clean the flame arrester periodically with compressed air or solvent to prevent clogging from diesel residue.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a durable, compliant diesel storage can for commercial or heavy-use residential mowing. It’s ideal for operators who prioritize safety and longevity over pour speed, and who need a made-in-USA option. Skip it if you only store gasoline or want a lighter, cheaper plastic can.
