It has no vent - it takes forever to dispense (gurgle gurgle gurgle)
You are required to push the nozzle down to open. Because
of the mechanics you can't drain it (5 gallon model... about 1 gal
left). The seal is a cheap rubber gasket with a grove that rolls
over and self destructs if you twist the nozzle - leak leak leak.
If there is ever a revolution, we really do need to kill all the
lawyers.
(went back to find a simple "old school" can... couldn't find one)
No-Spill. No leaking. Instead of pushing the nozzle, you push a knob
with your thumb for better control, up to 3 gallons a minute. It even
has a translucent strip so you can see how much gas you have.
Hey, cut that out.
Only mindless rants about how things have changed are acceptable here.
I sort of like the new cans too. Sure, I had to learn a new way to
operate the thing, but I didn't break anything in the process.
So, I've got 2 gas cans from before the new laws, and one after.
I don't have many problems operating any of them.
your CARB can must be relatively new. It will become harder to use over
time, as the mechanism binds.
