And they have them down at the local True Value. Let's see - the can is
now over $30. God I hate experts.

Those spouts fit cans prior to 2009... have a spark arrestor and a
vent...

I was 10 when an 11-year-old friend got his father's thin metal gallon
gas can from the lawn mower shed to feed a smoldering fire in the
incinerator (a 55-gallon drum). I was horrified, but speaking up
wouldn't have helped.

I felt a certain sense of vindication when the can caught fire. He
thought he could put it out by whirling like a top. Burning gas spewed
out. He threw the can. The fire went out. I decided I loved spark
arrestors.

Nowadays I live next to a fireman. More than once when he was impatient
with a bonfire of brush wood and wooden trash, I've seen him walk up
with a 2-1/2 gallon gas can and pour gas on it. Even if he'd thrown a
paper cup of gas on the coals, where there was no danger of a can
catching fire, that would have been appalling. I guess the fire
department keeps the rescue squad in business.

Uh-oh, what goes in a gas-can spout is a flame arrestor, not a spark
arrestor. I wish I'd learned to use words correctly in school!

Good catch. The video did SAY flame arrestor, not a spark arrestor.
Thanks for the clarification.
