Just in time for the onset of winter chores and sports, ScepterTM has introduced a new, easy-to-use fuel can system. Crafted with a unique push spout, the rugged SmartControl™ containers are designed for fast fills without spills.
“The innovative spout design of theSmartControl 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.
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.
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.
“In any situation where a person uses or stores fuel, extra precautions must be taken,” says Marshall. “Portable fuel containers should never be used on or near a flame, coals, embers, or any other source of ignition. Additionally, children should not use or play with the containers.

Why was Smart Control developed?
SmartControl was developed as a solution to messy, hard-to-use gas containers. Our research showed that older gas cans often leaked and dripped; that's why we spent the time to design our innovative spout that prevents leaks and spills. Plus, it stays on the container all the time, so again, no chance of leaks.
What are the advantages over other fuel cans?
Here are 6 top advantages of why the SmartControl fuel can works better than other fuel cans:

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.
#3 – Clean Operation - 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.
#4 – Rugged and Dependable – Made in the USA of durable and safe high-density polyethylene
#5 – Safe for Handling, Transporting and Storing Fuel – Each product includes a child safety lock and flame mitigation device for added protection. Designed in compliance with safety standards.

What are some good tips for safe fuel can storage?
Safe fuel can storage is very important. The first tip is to keep any fuel can out of reach of children ... and children should not use or play with the containers. Second, in any situation where you're using or storing fuel, special precautions must be taken. Portable fuel containers, including SmartControl, should never be used on or near a flame, coals, embers or any other source of ignition. While SmartControl containers are designed in compliance with safety standards, people should use a good dose of common sense when storing or using any fuel container.
