Looks to me from the Youtube vids that the new plastic jugs can easily

But I've heard Blitz is gone, so don't know what's up with other jugs.
Saw other Youtube vids and it don't doesn't look like rocket science
to get a can working well. Just an added PITA.
Steel NATO cans might be rusty inside and out, and there's no reason
to think they won't leak when pouring. I've seen a lot of metal cans
that leaked where the nozzle is connected to the can. Gasketing has
to be right.

I have several of the Blitz ventless gas cans, and they work fine.

1. The cans are no longer childproof.

2. I cannot help wondering how well the rubber part of the tire valves

3. He complains about having to turn the can vertical to get the last
drop of gas out, but ISTR that the th4e same was true for the old "Jerry

amount of gas he is storing there.
