So, do the very knowledgeable folks here have a favorite type/brand of

Seems the new plastic ones with the vent in the spout (crap) are
everywhere. They work about as well as the 1.5 gal toilets that
sometimes toss a turd some 4" in the air.

I do have an Eagle type II that works pretty well, the type I is a pain
to use or fill.

I absolutely refuse to pay $40-$60 for a bleedin' 1-gallon gas can,
TYVM.

I've had one of these for 25 years now and they're just wonderful with
the separately-vented 1-gallon cans. I _very_ seldom lose a drop,
except when filling it from the assinine Blitz gas cans.
