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.

So that's why they all switched to the Blitz manufactured cans. The ones
I've gotten have all had a plastic extension that came with the can, but
in most cases it's useless.

A lot of the various fuel fills seem to encourage spilling gas, and some
of encourage spilling it on the person filling the tank! The new push
lock devices don't help, especially when filling 10 gallon tanks with a 5
gallon can. (Oh, and a word of caution: They don't handle being upside
down very well.)
