For reasons explained elsewhere, I would love to replace the 'spout' of
about ten Blitz five-gallon plastic portable gasoline containers with a

I called Blitz, who does not sell an alternative gas can spout - nor
would they answer this question.

Do you know what 'threads' these cans use and what 'might' be used to
replace the caps that would still handle the 22psi vapor pressure of
gasoline & remain air & water tight?

* Is the threaded ring separate from the actual spout? If so, simple
to make a plastic disc to take the place of the spout and seal very
well to the top of the container.

IIRC I have bought "Blitz" brand containers in the past, but don't
have any anymore due to having to leave them behind every time I've
moved (for some reason moving and storage companies don't like dealing
with gas cans.) lIRC they came with such a disc, although likely it
has been lost over the years. They probably won't sell you
replacement spouts or discs now though because of the requirement for
the annoying new style nozzles.

I bought an old surplus jerry can while I still could; I hope that I
don't end up having to leave that behind.
