Where can I get an old style non CARB compliant 5-gal gasoline can? I pine for the days when 5-gallong gas jugs had a pour spout and a vent. All the gasoline cans I can find in the stores are something called "CARB compliant". They are miserable abominations. I've never spilled so much gasoline in my life! One model has an on/off lever, but you have to use two hands at all times, one to hold the can, the other to keep pressed down on the lever, and the third hand to hold the funnel. The moment you let up on the lever, the handle locks shut, necessitating a manual reset. The other type has only a push-to-open tab which you supposedly press against the lip of the tool you're filling. Forget using funnels with this method. And, since the spout fills the opening of the tool you're filling, you can't see when it's full until you spill it all over the outside of the tool. There must be somewhere I can get the old-style gas cans. What is the reason for these CARB abominations anyway? Any idea where to get the old style 5-gallon gas cans? I modified one of those ****rified cans. I found you can buy a separate nozzle with a nice twist shut off nozzle. Then I drilled a hole in the back end top of the can and put a screw in it when not in use. I just remove the screw, tip the can up and twist the nozzle to pour and twist to shut it off. Has a nice long clear spout with cap too. -- LSMFT I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her. |
