regular vent....I HATE the new type....Tried a couple of searches including
E-Bay but only found CARB compliant cans..Thanks for any help....

Try the oldest hardware stores in your town.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
