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!!

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.

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.

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.

I got one of those, but it is pink. The wife won it at some girly thing. IMO the problem beside the separate spout is a gas can needs a side handle, especially one that is that tall. It doesn't get used.

They had the single hole ones for a while, now they sell them with vents here.

They work great, just like the old ones.

Must be a US thing having no vents?

ez-pour
I buy new cans when on sale

toss the spout they come with and add one of these

1/2 inch drill bit and pop in the vent plug , they sell replacement parts and gaskets also

since they also fit water cans you can buy them in any state

Throw the spout away, use a funnel, ..
Problem I see is every gas can maker uses a different thread on the cans, and the "new" replaceable spouts cost the same as a new can, on sale,.

One funnel fits all cans, smile
