A handy gas can is an essential bit of equipment to have in every garage or car. Gas cans are the safer way of transporting highly flammable liquids to various gas-powered vehicles and tools. They can also provide peace of mind while traveling, especially when venturing off the beaten path where refueling stations might not be accessible. If you camp with a gas-powered portable generator or use a gas-powered whole-home generator during power outages, then a good gas can is a necessity.
