View DemoAre safety cans OK for outdoor use?
Yes, safety cans can be used outdoors, and many Justrite customers do. However, outdoor use requires specific precautions due to temperature changes, vapor pressure, and transport considerations.
When temperatures are hot, vapor pressure inside a safety can increases. Safety cans are designed with emergency pressure relief, typically rated at 3 to 5 psi, but it is still important to relieve pressure in the vapor space before dispensing to prevent sudden fluid release or splashback. Rapid temperature drops can also create a vacuum inside the can, which in rare cases may lead to implosion. To reduce this risk, keep cans shaded, avoid extreme temperature swings, and maintain fluid levels above half full when possible.
Safety cans should always be stored in well-ventilated areas, never in closed vehicles or passenger compartments, and secured to prevent movement during transport. When transporting fuel for job-related activities, follow U.S. DOT Material of Trade rules, which allow a maximum of eight gallons in safety cans.

Can I transport gasoline in a safety can in my vehicle?
Yes, gasoline can be transported in a safety can when proper precautions are followed. The safety can should be secured to prevent movement, and the vehicle should be well ventilated. A safety can should not be stored in a vehicle and should always be removed before filling or dispensing fuel. Before placing the can back into the vehicle, make sure any fuel residue on the exterior is cleaned off. For maximum safety when transporting gasoline in vehicles, consider using DOT-approved safety cans. https://www.justrite.com/safety-cans-and-containers/dot-safety-cans
What is the difference between Type I and Type II safety cans?
Type I safety cans have a single opening that is used for both filling and dispensing. When filling Type I safety cans, using a funnel is recommended to help reduce spills.
Type II safety cans have separate openings, one for filling and a dedicated spout for dispensing, which allows for more controlled pouring. Justrite Type II safety cans typically include a flexible hose and controlled-pour features such as an AccuFlow manifold with a Safe-Squeeze trigger handle. Choosing a flammable safety can?
