We have begun to copy their laws and restrictions, don't bother.

Another 20 miles and you're in Maine, but it looks like we may not
have them anymore, either. My can is listed with the discontinued and
obsolete containers.

Apparently the EPA has issued new regs that require EVERYONE to match the
California requirements as of Jan 1, 2009.

I found a automotive place that had some of the older Blitz ones in
stock, but in the wrong size. They also warn you against storing it with
the neck installed, despite the cap on the end.

Actually, the new plastic Blitz cans have a thumb operated valve that
looks like it could be pretty good. It beats the ones where you have to
push the nozzle against the filler neck, which would be useless with a
small tool like a weed whacker. You don't have to store the can with the
filler off (or worse, inside). The only downside I saw is that it has a
couple of plastic interlocks to make it hard to unscrew the cap, or to
activate the valve. I suspect both can be defeated easily. The cap
interlock is easy to cut off for sure.
