That looks cool. I just ordered one.

I still hate the gubment. Gas can does not have to cost 70 bucks to work. They are bankrupting the country with these hidden costs.

Just recieved my Eagle U2.

Review: pretty stout can. A little awkward to strap down due to it’s shape. But not bad. It would be nice if it were possible to “lock back” the handle in the open position, as one must hold the spring loaded handle back to open the valve.

Nice design other than that. I imagine that the EPA SS will not allow a lock back design however. Mudder Trucker regulators have never worked a day with their hands, and don’t need fuel cans anyway.

One further complaint:

You cannot lock back the spring loaded fill aperture. You have to hold the can with one hand to keep it from sliding around. With another hand you hold the fill nozzle. With your third hand you hold open the spring loaded cap.

So again, the safety idiots mandate something that works, but does not quite work right.
