Not sure what problem you're having. I find that that version of the
vent free spout is significantly better than the couple versions that
proceeded it. The ability to shutoff the flow without having to rapidly
tip the can back is a big benefit for filling small tanks like on lawn
equipment.

If you want real convenience, just find yourself a portable fuel caddy
with a nozzle and manual pump, such as Northern Tool item# 33631-1101.

Yep

"The Kid" had to buy these for his new place. I've promised to turn up
some adaptors to elimintate that valve assembly for him. haven't seen
his design yet.

You can bypass the valve with a cable tie, why bother machining
something?

I know he wants higher flow rate to fill his tractors and plans a

He should be looking at the larger fuel caddies intended for that kind
of use, instead of the small cans. Take a look on Northerntool.com for
some examples.

Ig...if you know how to shop surplus ;) start looking for old cans at
your usual haunts...they are there.

Garage sales, thrift stores are other sources.

At least I'm not the only one that hates those. That is all they had
when the power went out, but I didn't pay $50. They are a major pain
when they are full and ya have to hold up 31 lbs. with one hand and
hold the button down, especially when the gas is 10 degrees.

I hadn't thought of the tie strap as another pointed out. That's
what's going on it next time I use it. If you put a couple of hose
extenders on it then you can set the 'can' on the edge of the pickup,
which worked pretty well yesterday. Finally got my Toy to run right,
now I have to take the whole dash apart to get the leaves and sand out
of the AC/heater box and duct work and it will be ready for the main
vehicle to die.

Can't see why I didn't think about zip-ties... All my circular saws
have the guards tied back. Sure they are dangerous and ya have to wait
for the skill saw to stop spinning and set it nicely on concrete, but
hey at least the cut is straight and ya don't have to lean on the
miter saw to get the guard to start moving.

BTW, loved you generator video.

All my cans are early Blitzes from before CARB started messing things
up for everyone. The b-in-l has to carry a bunch of fuel when he's
out running his tile washing rig and all he could get was the previous
versions of the "improved" cans. Bought out the store when they
showed him the newest cans. Found out what he was squawking about when
I had to refill one of the 4-wheelers when hunting. The older ones
are bad enough, he showed me what the new ones were like when we hit
wally world one time. Glad I got what I've got.

If CARB is worried about the pollution from handicans, they should be
worried about hydrocarbon emissions from evergreens even more.

So what kind of jail time do you get for swapping a can lid for an old-
style one with a regular hose on it? Probably have different threads
so you'd have to machine one up.

They certainly are easier to use in the smaller sizes. I actually like
the new style on the little 1 gal cans I use for 2 cycle mix and for
fueling my little Honda generator. They are more of a pain on the 5 gal
size, but even there I find that I can wrestle the can into position and
braced, before opening the valve, and then once the spout is in place
turn it on to fill and then easily stop it without having to tip the can
back and spill fuel. I think the more you use it the easier it gets as
you figure out the best technique.

I'm not sure why you need to tie the guard back on the circular saw. I
normally manually swing the guard back before starting the saw and find
I can easily hold the guard lever back with my thumb while running the
saw. This allows me to easily release the guard after the cut at the
same time I release the trigger and then I can readily put the saw down.

That's one thing.

Another is that the button gets very stuck.

I have a metal gas can in the truck at all times, which is very
helpful. I cannot imagine keeping one with this wimpy plastic spout
attached permanently, as it will be very likely to break if the metal
can falls or something falls on the can.

Back in the '80s, when I had my smog license for autos, I cringed when
I did the pure air calibration. NOX was higher environmentally than
the standards called for, and most of that was from the forests and
evil shrubbery.

Karl,
Easy enough to do. What you need is a simple flanged tube that will
replace the plastic unit but uses the factory cap retainer to hold it in
place. Then a flexible spout. I made one up out of a spare jerry can
spout I had. Works fine.

Some years ago I bought a spout for my gas can that really helps in
avoiding gas spills. You put the spout in the tank, press on the spout
so that it moves in a little, and gas comes out. Really helpful for
filling the tank on my backhoe which is about 6 feet up. So I needed a
couple new cans and they came with a "spill proof" spout made by
Briggs and Stratton. The biggest piece of **** I've seen in a long

They didn't continue that older design because the outer sliding sleeve
eventually binds up and won't slide. That type also directs all flow out
the sides of the nozzle so it flows like crap if in a confined fill
neck, or spills everywhere if you try to hold it near the start of the
fill neck so you can see past it to see when it's getting full.

Apparently I'm the only person on the planet who finds the latest design
to mostly work ok. All you have to do is remove the stupid latch lever,
but otherwise the valve works ok and the flow is straight out the nozzle
where it should be. I find it particularly useful when fueling my little
Honda EU2000Is generator, lawnmower, and my 2 cycle stuff like chain
saw, trimmer, etc.

Every version of an enviro gas can is utter ****.

I took some type that has a green lever type valve back to the auto parts
store as it actually spewed gasoline all over the place if you flipped the
can on end to get the last cup of gas out.

THANK YOU!!!!

Well, that sucks. I just tried to find one at Ace, BigR, and DoItBest
(3 of their supposed retailers) but not a one of them carries those
spouts.


I looked at Tractor Supply and they were sold out. If you live in one of
the "banned sale" states you may need to look in areas other than near
the gas cans.

Try the store locater they have. It may point you in the right direction.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

I prefer to fondle 'em in the store, thanks.

Seeing them next to each other and feeling the type of plastic
available can make a real difference in their usability to a person,
KWIM,V? Plus, shipping fees nowadays are significant, probably
doubling, if not tripling, the cost of the spout.

One of these days, I'll see if all my spouts are interchangeable and
go from there. Most of my cans don't have the spring-loaded ecocrap
spouts, anyway. I like easy spouts when possible, leaving them in
place rather than flipping their direction and storing them inside the
can to leak onto my fingers when using.

They are real nice. I have two and they work very well. Not real
flexible in the cold just like most plastics.

I asked what the difference was between the "gas" and the "water" spouts
was. Color only, same plastic.
