in ways we hardly notice...

"The whole trend began in (wait for it) California. Regulations began in
2000, with the idea of preventing spillage. The notion spread and was picked

A fix- pick up old faded gas cans from roadside and yard sales. Find a
WATER SPOUT to fit the can if the cap and/or spout is bad. Problem
solved.
