Bought a new 2 gallon gas can as my old government designed
can had a cut, leaky seal. New can looks same as the old
can but they added child type safety cap to spout where you
have to squeeze and twist. Took a pair of pliers for me to
open. Fortunately I found what tabs to cut off to defeat it
in the future. These cans spill more gas than the old ones.
Now this.
Damn the EPA.

If the above isn't sold in your state, this one probably is:

Same product, just molded in a different color.
I have an old 2.5 gallon plastic gas can that originally had a flexible
rubber spout. Over time, the seal on the inside of the spout wore down,
and the thing leaked when I tried to pour with it. The "water spout"
above fixed the problem.
They're available at Tractor Supply (no financial interest, other than
that I bought one there). They come with 2 caps, one _might_ fit the can
you currently have.
I had looked around for spouts but none were there. Might have bought
one but they are nearly price if a new can. Hardware store mentioned
some of the metal cans but they were pricey.
