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.


There was a vid on utube about drilling a hole where the old vent plug
used to be and using a tire valve that has the plunger removed. You use
the cap on the tire valve to seal off the gas and remove it when you want
to vent the can to pour the gas out.

I have 3 old style plastic gas cans with out the vent. I can live with
that. The problem for me is a new two gallon can I have for the 2 cycle
stuff. That has some kind of nospill spout that I spill out about as much
as I use. It may work beter if I had a big gas tank on the weedeater, but
that small fil hole on the weedeater tank just does not mate with the gas
can.

I think the ones comming up with the ideas do not have to deal with the
problem. Just how many congressmen mow their yard ?




Does anyone sell replacement old style vent caps ?
