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 Scepter^TM. 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.
