Maybe now people can buy gas cans that don't cost an arm and a leg to make one that actually works well. Sticking it up the EPA's collective asses is attractive as well. | ||

I have done the vent cap trick on all my cans. Works great | |||

I highly recommend against adding a vent to your can. Vented cans absolutely destroy the quality of the fuel. You WANT your can to blow up like a balloon when in the sun. Keeping the vapors in the can is good for fuel quality. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

^^^ I'm a little confused. It has a cap on the vent to keep the can sealed except when you are pouring it. __________________________ | |||

Why is this warning in the description? NOTE: This container is solely intended for use with non-fuel or non-kerosene products and must not be used to transport fuel or kerosene. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

So the EPA can't fine them for intentionally selling a product to skirt "fuel container regulation"? This modification simply reverts your fuel container back to the way they were designed to function. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Amazing that Backyard Maine could find not only one but TWO needle nose pliers when he needed them. ____________________ | |||

That’s a great way to get fuel on your shoes.  Those water jugs work for me. I made my own hose and they empty in under a minute.  | |||

I'm glad the video helps people... An easier way is to pick up old cans at garage sales. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I use VP Racing gas cans. The snout fits into the gas inlet for my truck, doesn’t leak and is usable unlike some of the red plastic ones. https://www.amazon.com/VP-Raci...id=1718025637&sr=8-3 I have one red one gallon can for mixed gas for the blower,chainsaw, & weed eater. I put one of those aftermarket snouts and a vent on it. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

+1 to the Wavian gerry cans. Those things are tough. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.
