What Makes a Good Gas Can for Camping?

Let’s start with the basics. If you’re camping with gas powered engines, like generators, chainsaws, ATV's and UTV's, or motorcyles, you need a gas can that actuall works. It should include features that are:

Safe and easy to use
Spill-proof
Durable
Versatile

Traditional gas cans are often messy, frustrating, and even dangerous when tipped or spilled. Many campers are familiar with the awkward angle pour, the gas drips, or the unintentional spills that can make your hands and gear smell like gas all day.

SureCan solves all of these gas can problems with its patented rotating spout and thumb-trigger flow control. SureCan lets you pour gas exactly where when and where you want it with no tipping, no spilling, and no mess!

How SureCan Makes Camping Experience Better

Here’s how SureCan makes your next camping or off-grid trip smoother, safer, and more enjoyable:

1. Spill-Free Refueling for Generators and Powersports Machines

Powering your campsite has never been easier. Instead of trying to lift and aim a bulky gas can into a small opening, SureCan’s downward-facing spout and thumb-trigger flow control lets you refuel with precision, even in tight spots.

This is especially helpful when refueling:

Portable generators
Vehicles
Portable gas heaters
ATVs and UTVs
Chainsaws

2. No Lifting and Tipping Required

Forget lifting, holding and tipping your heavy gas cans above your generator or risking back strain. SureCan’s design allows you to keep the can upright position while dispensing fuel. That means safer, faster refueling, even for campers with limited mobility.

3. Safe Storage for Long Trips

SureCan cans are made in the USA with high-grade materials and are built to with stand rugged outdoor conditions. They are sealed tightly to prevent spills or leaks or fuel smells around your campsite. The caps and integrated spout eliminate spills during transport, so you can focus on the fun, not the mess.

Don’t Forget the Water: SureCan Utility Cans

Water is just as important as power. That’s why SureCan also created a Utility SureCan with Spigot for water storage and usage. Using the same thoughtful design as our fuel cans. The Utility SureCan with Spigot incorporates a rotating spout and lockable thumb button so you can wash up and use it hands-free.

Why Bring a Utility Water Can Camping?

Access to clean water anytime
No spills in your vehicle or tent
Easy to pour into cooking pots, hydration packs, or water bottles

Whether you're dry camping in the desert, setting up a remote base camp, or prepping for emergencies, having your own reliable water source is essential. Just like the fuel cans, SureCan’s Utility Water Cans features the rotating spout and thumb-trigger system, making it the cleanest, simplest way to access drinking water in the outdoors.
