E-Bay but only found CARB compliant cans..Thanks for any help....

I've spilled more gas with those new-fangled contraptions than I ever
did with a can & funnel.

I gave up pouring Kerosene a few yrs ago when I was filling a heater
for my neighbor. He had one of these-

Shop around- prices go from $10-30 for essentially the same thing.

No dripping, no lifting. Batteries in mine are 2 yrs old- and hang in
an unheated and un-air-conditioned garage.

Your premise may be wrong...that there is one.

Being a scientist, I naturally wanted to see how those cans worked.

I took the spout apart to it's component parts.
In re-assembling it, some parts would not re-assemble, but I did find
that the spout worked better.

Nothing--they're working to regulation/requirement not of their doing.

Nothing, it wasn't their idea.

It's for the children. We can't be killing the environment.
All the chemical vapors, what will happen!

Now, if I can only find what bodily orifice of a child to
put the spout in..... ear, maybe?

Saw 2 in a flea market today. The 5 gal was $24.95 and the 2 gal was
$18.95. Were in somewhat reasonable shape but with old metal cans you
never can tell.

No wonder I have to modify everything I buy.

How safe is it if it takes twice or three times as long to pour out the
contents and evaporate even more fuel while doing it?

Hack saw, fixed mine.

As of 1/1/09, there is a $500 fine *per container* for anyone selling
non CARB compliant fuel containers. Stores may sell existing stocks
of pre 2009 containers without penalty, so if you want to replace any
containers, you better do so soon. It's hell when the whole USA has
to follow screwed up California rules.
