It's been a long time since I've bought a gas can. I need some new
ones and all I could easily find are vent-less. Do these pour and seal
well? I need cans to store generator gasoline for up to six months; so
I need something that seals well. Will they work in this application?

The ventless can I have seals very well, but pours rather poorly (pardon
the pun). As long as the can is full to minimize condensation you should
have no problem storing gasoline for 6 months.

As a child, my parents thought I was an idiot-savant.
Now, however, it is rather clear that I'm simply an idiot.

You need to look somewhere else other than Walmart and the big box
stores.

They work OK. Not as well as conventional cans but OK. They seal as
well as any other gas can.

So? Buy one and poke an air hole in it.

The one my wife bought me (after she gave away my perfectly good 'regular'
plastic can to a stranger who claimed to be stranded) leaks, and I have to
apply so much pressure to open the valve that I'm always worried I'll damage
the plastic gas tank I'm filling.

Just get a standard plastic can. It's not that hard to open the caps

You might take a look he

It might not hurt to put some StaBil in your gas for long term storage.
That stuff works as advertised.

This would allow gas fumes to escape and collect in whatever storage
area the can was in. That's bad, you get on the news that way. Properly
vented cans have sealable vents to keep closed when you're not actually
pouring.

I bought a Flo N Go nozzle and ventless can together and this
combination works great, no spills and easy to use.

So? Get your chainsaw out and whittle a stick to poke in the hole when
you aren't pouring gas.

I have found that I can not put the spout in
the can after filling. and have to leave the spout sticking out of the
can. The can will not seal without the spout inserted. that is the
part that forms the "gasket".

Uhm, "Don't fill it all the way up"?
