The Blitz gasoline can - what went wrong - what needs to be fixed

Amen...worst idea ever. I am disabled and have limited arm use. Being able to use this gas can spout is nearly impossible for me. The spout doesn't really work anyway. Tip it up and gas leaks out. It is so cumbersome that I spill gas all over the place. I don't see having to buy an additional spout to be able to use this gas can. I will be returning this overpriced gas can. My best suggestion is to send emails to Blitz telling them how bad this idea was for consumers. Never knew the name of those damned cans and googling it says company is going broke: https://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma...t-of-business/ I've said before that when the people in the EPA who mandated them die and go to hell they should have to spend eternity pouring gas on the hell fires from these cans. |

The article claims Blitz is going out of business because they can no longer afford liability insurance. I guess we can blame America's stupid jury panels for awarding enormous settlements. |

Unfortunately, it is not always a defective products so much as failure to read and follow instructions or using the product for a use not intended. Much too easy to get a big payday for being stupid. |

What exactly was defective about the previous versions of gas cans? Why is it the gas can manufacturer's fault when some numbnutz fills the tank on a hot lawnmower engine? Or pours gasoline on a smoldering brush pile? |

Or pours gasoline on a smoldering brush pile? The spill proof cans are only spill proof when not in use, e.g. you just tip it over. When you go to use them is when you tend to spill. No pressure inlet causes blurping when pouring and having to push the valve to keep it open often leads to spilling. It also might take 5-10 minutes to pour the contents of a 5 gallon can into your car gas tank. |
