As everyone knows gas can technology has been moving away from usefulness and into a rubric cube safety devices making the pouring of gas near on impossible. The old go to plastic 5 gallon lost its vent hole for an elaborate spout system which constantly fails. This Eagle is as close to old school as you can get these days. Large stable base, doesn't fall over at the gas pump. Long metal spout reaches the device you want to fill. The spring vent cap a little difficult at the pump but doable.
