Handling fuel on the job site, or in your shop, should not be taken lightly. Business owners and operators must be aware of the safety regulations that come into play. Transport Canada, the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), and the Canadian Safety Association (CSA) all cover flammable fuel storage and transport regulations.
TYPE I SAFETY CANS
Type I gas cans differ from Type II cans in that they use the same one opening for filling and dispensing from the container. Type I gas cans are FM Approved and ULC Certified and meet the same specifications as Type II gas cans to achieve Transport Canada or CCOHS approval. Type I safety cans are available for the storage of flammables (red), Kerosine (blue), Diesel Fuel (yellow) and combustible oils (green). Type I flammable liquid cans are generally less expensive than Type II cans.
Type I safety cans do not have a fill opening to aid in venting when pouring. Most Type I containers don’t have an attached spout and you should use a funnel for safer filling.

TYPE II SAFETY CANS
Type II safety cans provide ease-of-use as well as safety features, that make them the right choice for storing flammable liquids. Type II gas cans feature separate fill and dispensing openings for safety and convenience. The fill opening doubles as a vent when pouring to help reduce splash back as air returns to the gas can through the fill spout.
Both CCOHS and Transport Canada regulations mandate the use of FM Approved and ULC Certified flammable liquid safety cans for the storing or transporting combustible materials.
