Eagle makes one, but with one opening, i don't want the glug glug of not having a vent.
I have this can except in 2 (maybe 2 1/2) gallon. Works great and I prefer it over the one with the funnel.
If your keep gas in an attached garage it really needs to be in a metal gas can. BTW - the safety part of it means more than metal.
There is also a screen on the fill which will prevent flames.
The 'screen' you mention is a
Flame Arrestor, it prevents a flame from entering the Gas Can.
If you were filling a lawn-mower and accidently got gas on the hot muffler and started a fire.
It gives you a few seconds to react.
Also, the Justrite are
self venting.
This means on a hot Summer day, as the Gas Can is building pressure (just sitting there), the 'cap' will raise just enough to release the pressure.
