It isn't a secret: The new style gas cans are terrible fragile contraptions that have caused many a spills and are responsible for numerous new curse words being created to help describe them. But there is hope. This is my solution to this entirely unnecessary problem.
If you're wondering who is responsible for all of the gasoline spills and time spent waiting you have endured at the hands of these containers, you have the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act to thank for this. I seriously doubt these have prevented any such tragedies (and most likely have caused some), but that's up to your legislators to decide. Trust them. They know what's best for you.

So far so good. I’ve filled it twice and it’s great getting 13 gallons at one shot kzbin.infoUgkx-vlHjazTv30m_UAq9Ht-fuPo2jBx7tTx . It pumps out by using gravity so the bottom of the tank needs to be above the vessel you're filling. Not a drop spilled filling the generator three times. Let’s see where we’re at after 20 fills.he slightly larger Panfish floats kzbin.infoUgkx_rJB7cli5f1ofPVGgn80S7Yj4vqwq0gU recommend they work just fine. The smaller size lets me carry more in my tackle box, and the 3 color choices are nice for different lighting conditions, backgrounds, etc. They aren't the most durable things in the world. But, as cheap as they are, it's not heartbreaking to lose one or have to replace a worn one. The price on these fluctuates wildly, from about $9 to almost $16. So, time your buy accordingly.

While this method does work, it's far easier and a bit cheaper to buy a 10 pack of actual gas can vents off your favorite online seller, drill a 1/2" hole, and push one in. Voila, same vent as most cans came with 10 years ago. As a bonus, it only sticks out 3-4mm instead of hanging out to snag on stuff like a tire valve or drain petcock. :)

Good job in not recommending the air valve stem method. I have tried that and it absolutely degrades in short time. I live in hot south texas and when the temperature rose enough and the valve's rubber degraded enough, the pressure within the can simply pushed the valve out. I had no idea how long it had been sitting without the valve and gasoline fumes leaking into my garage, I'm just glad I found it before anything bad happened.

Hi, just got onto your channel. Like it very much. One way, at least for the foreseeable future, to get good old style gas cans, is to keep your eyes open on the interstate, as you pass through suburban areas. Empty gas cans seem to have the tendency of jumping out of landscape trailers quite frequently near the burbs. Particularly the 5 gallon size. The wind just blows them out of the trailer, it seems. Also, they can be had in antique and collectible shops.

A valve for this purpose would have to be ridiculously large to be sensitive enough to the tiny changes in pressure, hence why it's impractical and not used. Pressure changes are in the hundredths of inches (millimeters) water column pressure.

+mattmopar440 I tend to agree with you. There has actually been one company go out of business after being sued for their cans rupturing when they get hot enough, and opening one of these things up when fully pressurized is an easy way to get gasoline sprayed all over. I know of one person who went to the ER for that. The old style vents that leak slightly once the can is overpressurized worked great to keep things safe. Unfortunately they are now required to never vent under any circumstances. That's what happens you have something designed by bureaucrats instead of engineers I guess...

FYI Pipes and their associated fittings are sized by nominal inside diameter with a standard wall thickness of 1/16" for non-threaded (I.e. copper pipe intended for "sweating") fittings and 1/8" for threaded; versus tubing sized by nominal outside diameter. E.g. 7/8" copper tubing and 3/4" copper pipe are cross-sectionally the same, save for being different alloys.

For the most pat I have purchased wide mouth funner and forgo try to use the pour spout by unscrewing it off the gas to pour the liquid out. Sue I have to hold the can so air can enter the can while the gas is being pours out. That's what one had to do while using the metal cans of yesteryear that typical didn't have a vent. Except for the cans that had separate pour and fill openings, whee you loosened the fill cap a bit when pouring. Generally the gallon metal cans you had to live with the glug.glug pooer

No gas cans can be legally sold with the spout you speak of. Any that are sold with that spout are not rated for gasoline and I don't want to put gas in a jug designed for water - if it splits that's a big problem. The liability repercussions mean that gasoline containers are built FAR better than 'race jugs' and the like. The kits they sell everywhere in stores come with a plastic cap that leaks and easily pops open under pressure. Useless and/or hazardous. I have seen some very nice add-on vent products for sale in various places on the internet which is a more refined version of what I show here. I haven't tried them but some of them look fairly legit.

Joe Scheller He's actually correct. Depending on whether you agree this new safety fill is better or just interfering with fillups and spilling some fuel, there is a clever vent channel in the filler neck. The idea is when the green lock is turned to allow fillups, pressing the fill tube into the opening of a gas tank pushes the fill tube back to open the interior valve. When fuel pours out, air flows into the front of the fill tube vent that feeds air back into the container, providing an automatic vent. If only a portion of the gas can is used, pulling out the fill tube should allow the spring loaded tube to extend and shut off the internal fill value to stop fuel flow. Should is the key word unless the filler assembly gets buildup and doesn't work, spilling fuel. The trick here is to use a little WD40 to lube the filler and green lock pieces.

Saves spills in storage that burn people to death, freethinker. Show us how you tie knots in seatbelts. More from the ridged, inflexible, and entrenched in the good old Archie Bunker days.... 7:39 😢

I don't think you understand the history, politics, and unintended consequences of these government mandated containers. They do not prevent burn injuries nor do they have anything to do with seatbelts - not sure why you threw that logical fallacy (strawman) in there but it's clear evidence of someone who knows they have no valid argument. These containers often rupture in storage due to the high pressures, force high pressure streams of gasoline out of the spout when opened, regularly spill when in normal use, and even a 4 year old child can figure out how to open the spout. All they do is create hazards and frustrate people. Those who are ergonomic engineers know that the easiest way to make people injure themselves is to design something that frustrates the user. Congrats. Mission accomplished. Everyone who has ever actually used one of these has suffered frustration. It is YOUR thinking that is rigid and inflexible. Have you ever considered that not everything you're told has scientific, data based, statistical evidence to support it? That there is a social agenda behind nearly every law often not based in truth? Nope. I can tell that you have never even considered it.

When it’s cold, these cans can’t be used by weak and/or arthritic hands. So, I just don’t give a flying turd. I take the whole top of the can off, and just pour it into the tank. Sure, I spill some. Maybe even a lot. And I care about the environment. But I hate governmental stupidity even more.

Removing the entire spout and pouring into a funnel is a time tested and historically common approach. The problem I have with that is many of my vehicles and small equipment cannot accept any reasonable funnel and make this work properly so a spout is more practical for me. If not for you then go for it! Spillage isn't the primary reason these stupid government mandated spouts exist anyway, it is child burns they are trying to prevent. How about not letting your kids play with your gas cans? Nah, makes too much sense.

Covered in the video. They don't last long in a gasoline vapor environment as the quality ones are made from EPDM rubber which rapidly degrades in gasoline. The cheap ones are even worse.

My favorite solution is to elevate the gas can and siphon the fuel into your tank, using a 5/8" inside diameter hose section. It's much faster than even a vented can. Try not to get gas in your mouth, though. lol

+knurlgnar24 I'm interested in a solar system for my houses. I would like to start with my first house. I've been reading on the different types of batteries to use. I've watched your video and wanted to know what size converter I would need. The house is over 2500 sq ft. (Over) I have 2 front load washing machines. 2 dryers. Central air and heat. A well , an extra large kitchen with 2 Electric stoves. ( large stoves ) . numerous lights , 2 hot water heaters. ( extra large ) , 3 freezers, 3 iceboxes. And outside lights and garage. Whew! How big or how many converters will I need?? What's the best in your opinion along with the batteries. I've been looking at these. , ( www.sunxtender.com/ ) I'm probably going to re-wire the whole house anyway.
