Default The government ruined the gas can...

This is a good one.

That looked like a good conversion in the video.

The only problem is that Blitz is out of business, and I
haven't seen anyone selling a gas can with that type of
spout any longer.

So unless you can find a discontinued Blitz can with that
spout assembly, the video is useless for currently-sold cans...

Unrelated:
I have an old 2.5 gallon can with a rounded top, vent
opening, and rubber hose pour spout. The gasket inside the
spout has shrunk over the years, so the spout would leak
when pouring.

I found an EZ-pour spout ($10 at Tractor Supply) to be a
perfect replacement. If the kit designed for "gas" (black
spout) isn't sold in your state, the kit for H20 works just
as well.
