Default The government ruined the gas can...

I just had to buy one of these new POS cans for the lawn mower.
The old one got the seal pinched and torn and leaked. I've never
spilled more gas since these new cans were mandated.



It's easy to vent them.
Put a gallon or so of gas in them.
Place the can in a place where there are no flammable materials
Stand about 200 yards away.
Load a 50 caliber rifle
Aim at the can.
Pull the trigger and watch the can explode.
Feel the gratification of revenge against the cocksucker who mandated
them.
Your can is now vented, in fact the whole can is a vent.

Have a friend make a can in his welding shop out of steel.

(For those of you who dont know what steel is, it's a durable natural
material that will last 20 to 50 times longer than plastic, and is much
safer for storing flammable materials, because it dont burn. They once
used it for making gas cans and lots of other things, including cars,
many of which will last for decades, unlike plastic which will be in a
garbage dump in a few years).
