Default The government ruined the gas can...

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the problem, but it seems to me that a hole
drilled into the plastic gas can near where the former vent was located
and plugged with a 1/4 inch long #8 sheet metal screw would solve the
problem.


I have one of the cans with the vent (it's about 24 years old), but the
cap on the vent has split and I am unable to find a replacement for the
cap. Anyone have a good idea for a substitute?
