Winter may be right around the corner, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be fueling up. As a matter of fact, here in Ohio we will be fueling up quite a bit! Our snow blowers and 4×4 side by sides are ready for us to put the leaf blowers away and get busy! We do checks on each of these things each year before winter hits because we don’t want to be left out in the cold with a faulty product. Another thing we check is to make sure we always have fuel on hand at all times to get these things going! It would be a shame if we were snowed in with no way to plow ourselves out!
One thing that I have always disliked is pouring fuel from the gas can. It can make a big mess and leave waste product. It might sound silly to get excited about a fuel can, but I was pretty happy to hear about the SmartControl™ containers made by ScepterTM. They are an easy-to-use fuel can system that was crafted with a unique push spout, designed for fast fills without spills.
ABOUT SmartControl™
“The innovative spout design of the SmartControl system makes it easier than ever to fuel equipment like portable generators, lawn mowers and leaf blowers,” says Daniel Marshall, vice president of marketing and business development with Scepter. “Whether filling the snow blower or the snow mobile, the SmartControl system makes fueling easier, faster and cleaner.
“This isn’t anything like your grandfather’s old clunky, leaky metal gas can. The SmartControl fuel container is ideal for homeowner use, because it’s simple to use and store. This container is so reliable that landscapers, builders and other professionals can depend on the container day after day for workplace situations requiring continual refueling without spilling a drop.”
Available in one-, two- and five-gallon sizes, the SmartControl line includes containers for gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Recipient of the “Best in Class” Award at the 2018 National Hardware Show, SmartControl containers are constructed of durable and safe high-density polyethylene.
SmartControl Features
“One of the most exciting features of the SmartControl line is the ease of use,” says Marshall. “The spout provides a clean, fast, and hassle-free pour to fill everything from pressure washers to leaf blowers. With a single motion, the user simply presses the lever up to unlock the child safety feature with the palm of the hand, and then squeezes the large button. This first squeeze is done when upright to vent the container. Then, place the nozzle over the tank and simply squeeze again to pour just the right amount of fuel.”
The SmartControl container helps save gas for where it’s needed by eliminating messy spills. The user-controlled flow makes it easier to direct the amount of fuel being dispensed, and because the container stores with the spout on, hands always stay clean.
Smart Control: Safety First
The rugged SmartControl containers are Made in America and designed to substantially exceed ASTM and CPSC minimum standards. Each product includes a child safety lock and flame mitigation device for added protection.
With operations throughout North America, Scepter has manufactured containers for the consumer, marine and military markets for almost 70 years. SmartControl and other Scepter products are available at major retailers and home improvement centers throughout the country. Visit www.scepter.com for more information.

We need this! My hubby has been looking for something that makes it easier to put gas in our lawn mower!
Liz Mays says
Now that is definitely going to be handy for all of our landscaping machines. Spillage is almost inevitable when using the usual containers.
Lisa Thompson says
Where have these been all my life? I can’t even tell you the number of times I’ve ended up covered in gas to a gas can’s inability to function like it should!!!
Jeanette says
This should have come out years ago! I spilled so much gas when I would mow the lawn! Perfect invention!
Amy says
This is so neat to have around! I know we could use these for the different fuels we use around here!

Rachel says
It is shocking to think of how long it took for people to create a nozzle that is easier to use! I hate spilling everywhere.
Allison Cooper says
This seems like a must-have! We are currently in the process of moving from the city to the suburbs, so my husband is learning all of these need things lately!

I have this old gas can so I should probably look into this. Makes life easier to have a better one

Yes!! I hate having to pour gas from the gas can. And we’ll be using a lot filling up our snow blower too. Need to get us one of these!

My husband needs this because with all our lawn equipment there is always something to fill up. This would help him keep the yard under control in less time so it is win/win.
