VP Racing 3839 Press 'N Pour Gas Can Red, 5.5 Gallon - 1 Pack

What It Is

The VP Racing 3839 Press 'N Pour Gas Can is a 5.5-gallon portable fuel container designed for refueling lawn mowers, tractors, and other outdoor power equipment. It replaces traditional spout cans with a no-spill, hands-free dispensing system.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Fuel type: Accepts gasoline, diesel, or ethanol blends up to E85. Not for kerosene or mixed fuels.
• Connection: Uses a standard 2-inch threaded opening—works with most mower fuel tanks that accept a standard gas can nozzle.
• Mower brands: Universal fit for any gas-powered mower, zero-turn, or tractor (e.g., John Deere, Husqvarna, Toro, Craftsman). No OEM-specific adapter needed.
• Size check: 5.5-gallon capacity fits larger mowers with tanks over 3 gallons; for small push mowers (1–2 gallon tanks), consider a 2.5-gallon version.
• Before buying: Measure your mower’s fuel tank opening (must be ≥1.5 inches) and ensure you have clearance to tip the can at a 45-degree angle for pouring.

Key Things to Know

• No-spill design: Press the nozzle tip against the tank opening to start flow; release to stop instantly. No trigger or valve to fumble.
• Venting issue: The can has a built-in vent, but some users report slow flow with cold fuel or full tanks—tip slightly more or vent manually.
• Durability: Heavy-duty HDPE plastic with a metal handle. The nozzle is plastic and can crack if dropped on concrete; handle with care.
• No CARB/EPA compliance sticker: This model is not approved for sale in California or other states with strict vapor-emission laws. Check local regulations before ordering.

Should You Buy It

If you regularly refuel a large mower or tractor and hate spills, this can is a solid, affordable upgrade over traditional spout cans. It’s best for home users with 5+ gallon tanks who want one-handed, drip-free pouring. Skip it if you need a CARB-compliant model or only fill small push mowers.
