In the 80s, a Missouri farmer knew there had to be a better way to pour gas into his equipment. He invented the first gas can with a push button valve. On/off by just pressing a button. You could say that farmer was way ahead of his time as now all cans require the use of a valve. We’ve refined a few things about our patented No-Spill® gas cans along the way, but we still have the simple and easy push button control people have used and loved for years.

In early 2017 we designed and installed a Flame Mitigation Device (FMD). This is an important safety breakthrough—adding another layer of safety to gas can use.
