The jegs ones function properly, but the nozzle is meant for diesel/fuel cell/large conical funnels so it won't fit into your evo filler. I ended up buying 4 from Vic Hubbard in Hayward. They have a filler hose as well that is great.

I've struggled with finding the right gas cans and finally figured it out. Initially, I bought the Eagle Type 1 can (i.e. steel with external plastic funnel). They had good reviews and were very safe for transport. Before even using them, I realized they not going to work with a car and sold them on Craigslist.

Next, I bought the Surecan because of its supposed easy to fill nozzle and sturdy construction. Due to a rotor cuff tear, I couldn't lift the 5 gallon cans and pour them. I bought a safety siphon (i.e. the one you shake to siphon) and used with the Surecan. However, the filler cap on a can got stuck and was impossible to open. While SureCan sent me another one, I found it very easy to get stuck. Even when using their nozzle, it had no auto shut off and spilled easily. Simply put, they are a waste of ~ $50.

Finally, I found my combination that works. I use a Midwestern gas can, threw out the stupid nozzle, and replaced it with the yellow EZ-Pour caps. I use the Safety Siphon to to get almost all the gas out of the can (battery pumps I saw all broke easily from reading reviews). Then I use an extended plastic funnel and pour the rest of the little remaining gas out.
