Midwest Can Company 5610 5 Gallon Gas Can Fuel Container Jugs w/Spout (2 Pack)

What It Is

This is a two-pack of 5-gallon gas containers designed for refueling lawn mowers, tractors, and other outdoor power equipment. The Midwest Can Company 5610 includes a spill-proof spout with an automatic shut-off and a vented handle for controlled pouring.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Universal fit – works with any gas-powered mower, zero-turn, or tractor that takes standard unleaded fuel. No specific brand or model restrictions.
• Check spout diameter – the included spout fits most mower fuel tank openings, but if your tank has a narrow or recessed filler neck, test fitment before use (some older mowers may require an adapter).
• CARB/EPA compliant – meets California Air Resources Board and EPA standards for sealed fuel storage. If you’re in a non-CARB state, the spout’s safety lock and flow restrictor may feel slower than older cans.
• Not for diesel or mixed fuels – designed for gasoline only; the spout’s automatic shut-off may not work reliably with thicker fuels.

Key Things to Know

• Spout performance – the auto-shutoff nozzle stops flow when the tank is full, reducing spills, but some users find the flow rate slow (about 1 gallon per minute). For faster filling, you can remove the internal restrictor (voids warranty).
• No assembly required – cans come pre-assembled with spouts attached. Just remove the seal and pour.
• Durability – high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction resists dents and corrosion, but the spout’s plastic locking mechanism can break if forced or dropped.
• Storage note – 5-gallon cans are heavy when full (~40 lbs). Consider a smaller size if you have difficulty lifting.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a reliable, CARB-compliant gas can for multiple mowers or frequent refueling, and you don’t mind the slower pour speed. Skip it if you prefer a faster-flowing spout or need a lighter, single 2.5-gallon can for easier handling.
