I’ve just about had it with liberalism...why cant a person buy a simple gas can.... that doesn’t take 3 hands to run... all that is needed is a spout and away to let air in to pour..... so simple!!

bad government results from too much government.

The manufacturer is trying to keep from getting sued to death. And I'm with you - I hate those things.

Get these. They work great, they are metal. I have been using them for about 3 years now with no problems. They are pricy but pay once and cry once.

I bought good five-gallon cans, threw away the garbage spouts, drilled holes and inserted air valves and screwed on new, regular, old-fashioned spouts. All the parts to convert a piece of crap, CARB-compliant can to a regular gas can are readily available.


Eh...wot?

Come on it’s good for the environment If you ignore how much you spill using those worthless spouts. I just take mine off to fill my mower they are worthless junk.

This. ^^^^^

Drill a 7/16 hole in the top rear of the plastic can and pull in a tire valve stem with the core removed. grin Got 7 or 8 of them.

This is the only gas can I'll buy anymore. There still out there. It will dump five gallons in a minute or less no splashing.

here's a guy on youtube. It's titled gas can rant.
I can relate to his and your frustration.

They are designed to prevent fumes from escaping and ruining the planet. Every time I use one, I spill a pint on the ground because the stupid release mechanism is so hard to use. I can't believe somebody can't come up with a design that's easy to use.

Tractor Supply sells replacement "water" spouts that fit gas cans - right next to the gas cans. I bought the yellow plastic vents on Amazon that fit in a 1/2" drilled hole. All my gas cans are now easy to use.
