Gas cans suck

[camelcluch]

Not sure what happened but gas can suck now. How did we mess up a simple design that worked? All I want to do is pour gas with out a mess. Seems so simple.
I’m done.

Eagle Steel Safety Gas Can 5 gal - Ace Hardware

Eagle cans are constructed of 24-gauge hot dipped galvanized steel, are the only deep drawn seamless can made, have a double interlock no-weld bottom seam, a baked on powder coat finish with a trilingual label, have a spring closing lid with neoprene gasket that vents at 5 psi internal pressure...

Only can I buy for personal use or my construction company. Much better than the VP cans, and OSHA approved

Sure Can works very well.

I use a race can with the dual handle and vent, it works great. The opening is large enough that I can dump an emission compliant can into it with spilling a drop or when hunting I use 15gal car wash soap containers. Shake siphon fuel into race can and then into my machine.

Thanks. I’ll look at some of these options but it’s dumb that something that used to work and be easy is now a ridiculous chore.

Original GI cans work great. The 2nd gen version sucks. You have to look, but you can find the original GI version.

Lawyers. Every design generates a lawsuit so we keep getting new designs and new companies that manufacture them and hire more attorneys to cover their butts.

Agree. I spill more with these CARB cans than I ever did before. Where is the environmental plus in that?

These are a game changer. Has made every newer plastic can I have work like they are supposed to!

^ the gas can conversion kits on Amazon work well

 

[MuleyFever]

Ive converted all my cans with the kits so now they work like they should.

Don't you know we are saving the planet?

 

[camelcluch]

I’m spilling over priced gas everywhere. That saves the planet?

Actually changed a long time ago. Solution is buy colored cans for grain that they sell at local farm and fleet or Menards. Look a lot like vp cans.
other option is to buy replacement spouts that work like they should.

Thanks! I had done the vent conversion but not the nozzle

Make a trip to Canada, Buy a real toilet while you are there too.

You are 100% correct. Shows what happens when the govt gets involved in stuff.

Amaxon sells spouts, caps, vent kits. Buy a couple. Put the vents in and gas wont spill as much cause it will pour.

Lawyers. Every design generates a lawsuit so we keep getting new designs and new companies that manufacture them and hire more attorneys to cover their butts.

And EVERY SINGLE NEW DESIGN IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS!!! Causes leaks, spills, and over fills. Every one of them.

I bought a couple of those and don't like them much. The lack of the second handle on the bottom makes them more difficult to use than I was hoping.

I had a can or two like @Steve300xcw posted above when I was a kid and those worked real well.

I went to using a 3/8 ID fuel line and siphon gas into my vehicles.
I live in the country and only stations around are cenex and their gas is horrible so I fill cans.
