The man is seriously mentally deranged..
The garage was adjoining the house and he was storing what,100 gallons
of petrol/gas in there?
I wonder if his insurance company knows?

His gas cans don't leak. You should watch the videos of folks trying to
use those wretched government mandated "safety" cans. I had to modify
my new can because it was virtually unusable and splashed petrol all
over when I tried to dispense fuel. ^_^

It doesn't have to leak to cause a problem. A small fire could turn
into a major explosion.

I wondered the same thing. If you search on ebay for what the comment
describes you can see people selling a little flip open vent that looks
like one from the older style cans. No idea how well it might work.

Looks like a nice field modification. I think I'll give it a try with
one of the small cans.

I used a cork or rubber stopper for the vent and it works well. Because
the new "cans" are really out of balance, I added a fill extension that
adds a little flexibility to the spout, from a piece of hose. I didn't,
but will, take out the lock for the valve. My valve really doesn't seal
very well, but what do you expect from junk from China. A simple cap
was soooooo nice and soooooo easy.

Even the previous iteration of gas jugs are junk - that's when they
went to the ventless jugs. Most spout-to-jug connections leak.
Last night me and my son replaced the rusted/leaking gas tank on my
'97 Lumina, so we transferred the old gas to the new tank.
Poured about 8 gallons total to and from various containers.
Here's what works best, and avoids spillage.
A funnel. I've got rigid funnels and a flex spout funnel. They're
cheap. Get some and avoid the gas can spouts.
Just pour from the jug.
Sure, you get more vapor when pouring, but you won't spill.
Sometimes you have to prop the funnel or have somebody hold it.
And you put easily line a funnel with a clean rag to filter, which we
did because the old tank had a lot of rust particles in it.
The old metal jugs with flex metal spouts nearly always leaked too.
I've still got a 2 1/2 and a 1 gal plastic jug with pop vents, and
they're good.
If I knew what was going to happen with gas jugs, I would have filled
my garage and basement with them and made a fortune selling them on
eBay

Same deal with freon, a couple decade ago.

What's the next item to be banned? Any
fortune tellers out there?

I'm glad I see this. I have a blue can a gas station gave me for free, so I
could fill it with water, when I had a coolant leak. It was a bitch to use.
It's been sitting not being used. Have to look at it close. I was thing I
was going to buy a gas can with a long spout, so I could fill my generator.
Needs to be over two feet long. So I see I'm going to have nothing but
problems figuring out what to do. They put the filler spout in center of
tank, where you can't fill without spilling.

I'm sure the EPA guys will get their chance to mow their lawns.

I like jugs from the blue windshield fluid, for utility water. Heavier jugs,
and seems to last a while.

Blue "gas" cans, I think blue is kerosene. Yellow is diesel.

one day i accidently reversed gas can lid a B&S gas tank lid....

they happened to fit perfectly....

the easiest solution is likely that and a funnel.....

the nice thing about the mowers tank lid is the lid has a little
rubber valve on top so the tank can breathe........

no balloning tanks either way

Fellow at work reversed his gas caps by accident. His mower would run for a
short time and stop. It would crank up and run for another short time and
stop.

At work we asked him to check to see if the mower gas cap vent hole was
stoppped up. The next day he said he had reversed the lids.

Forget the valve stem. Duct tape is just as good. cept that any modifications done will cause the gas attendent to call homeland security.
