Last year having displaced the extension needed to get the gas in my
car, I removed the cans spout, elevated the can above the gas tank and
siphoned the gas in.

These cans were designed to prevent spills if the can tips over but we
all know you spill more gas when it blurps from the unvented can in
using it.

I've often said that when the government official who mandated these
cans dies and goes to hell that he should have to spend eternity using
these cans.

That's the only reasonable solution I have found.

Do not shop for a 'gas can'. Instead, you want to purchase an
'OSHA-approved metal safety container'. They're exempt from the EPA
and CARB regs. Yeah, you'll pay more, but you'll get a quality can
that actually pours like it should.

I found the one I have confusing at first, but now works fine.

But I'm not doing any farming.

I read that there are no regulations on metal gas cans.
They're probably more expensive, but a metal can might
make more sense on a farm.

It's probably wretched excess, but I have gone over to these things:
http://tinyurl.com/oc5yf8l

The pouring ergonomics aren't great: they need a handle or some purchase
on the bottom for tilting while pouring.

But the rest is really good: durability, pouring, sealing...

Just beware of look-alike imitations that lack things like the
sprayed-in lining.

I too, being as frustrated as all of you, finally purchased from
Amazon a battery powered gas pump for about $15. It is a wand type
device that you stick into the can with the cap off, the top has a
flexible hose that you stick into the receptical (car, power
equipment, etc) and flip the power switch. I usually pump 5 gallons
in 4 minutes. It will even auto stop if it senses the recepticle is
full.

The EZ-Pour spout & vent kits are labeled to fit almost all containers made before 2008, when they changed all the threads. Maybe Ameri-can is reverting to the good stuff.

A lot of web pages mess up if you have scripts disabled. I've seen such
things as text on top of other text, links that don't work, and links
that take you to the wrong place.

This stuff is why I quit using the Firefox NOSCRIPT extension. It seems
like a good idea (block scripts unless you specifically enable them),
but it's more of a problem when a page has scripts from 20 or more
external sources with cryptic names, and there's no way to tell which
one(s) are causing the mess. Unfortunately, too many pages are like this.
