I'd like to give a shout out to the EPA for those wonderful, mandated

place when you try to use them.

What everyone else does: Unscrew the

a funnel.

I should have. My two gallon can blurped and leaked. That was finished
and I think I'll throw it out. Five gallon can, which you have to push
on rim like others to open would not close and that leaked.


Do a Google search on modifying those abortions. Don't have a link
handy but I found (and followed) one for the 5-gallon plastic ones.

Involves drilling a hole on top of handle (opposite spout) and fishing
through a tubeless tire valve (easier than it sounds) WITHOUT a valve
stem. This serves as a vent - capped loosely with a valve cap so it
doesn't bulge out like the stock ones will in the sun/heat.

Spring loaded nozzle is still a PITA but the gas flows MUCH faster this
way and it's almost as good as the old flex spouts. Then too once you
get a couple gallons out of the 5-gallon container you can pull the
spout off and, depending on the equipment you're filling, just pour it
in since you don't have the "gurgle splash" effect with the new venting
in place.
