Default Gasoline cans, Blitz, out of business, where to get cap?

A bunch of my Blitz 5-gallon portable gas containers have the lousy spout
broken (cracked around the center so that they now leak).

The company appears to be out of business, even though the gas cans are
only a couple of years old.

The gas cans are fine. Just the spouts are broken. I never use the spout
anyway. I just remove the spout and pour into a funnel.

Since I just use the spout as a gas cap, is there a replacement gas cap
that you know about for the 5 gallon Blitz gas cans?

I always threw the spout away and just use the cap ring. You can make
a round blank out of just about any kind of heavy plastic and the
plumbing department at the hardware store has a rubber ring the right
size to seal it. The rubber ring will hold the disk in the cap ring.

Scott may not have realized it. I've made mistakes before and I'll bet you've made mistakes too. ^_^

I will try that with the two broken spouts that I have. They do seem to
be "stuck" in, so, to remove the centerpiece, I have to "break" something.

If it is a different color, it will pop right out.
