Remember when fuel cans were simple? Pop the cap off the end, tip it
and fuel went into your mower. I recently had to buy a couple of
replacements. The ones with the push-lock device, short spout and
lever actuated valve (WalMart specials).

What the hell are they good for? The spout is too short to reach most
mower or auto gas ports, without attaching a hose. The lever is
pretty much inoperable without an attached hose.

Longer spout?

Bitch bitch bitch.

Now I'll go back to building something.

Ran out of gas, in a parking lot after 10pm one night, had to walk three
miles in the rain along a busy street with no sidewalk to an open gas
station. That's the only type can they had ... three miles back, in the
rain, only to have to perform surgery on the can, in the dark, for
another 30 minutes, with a multi-tool (thank buddha I keep one in the
truck), in the dark, in order to ultimately get about half of the
contents into the truck's gas tank, in the dark ... the rest on the ground.

*******s ...
