Gas Can Modification | New Gas Can Fix

UPDATE - Video #3 Feat. YOUR COMMENTS is Live! Watch now: • New Gas Laws | Top C...
Part 2: Explosive Details! Watch now: • Gas Can Modification |...
Spring modified, vent caps added. Link to buy vent caps on Amz: amzn.to/3rfGlx1
Updated info: The ‘filter’ I refer to in this video is actually a flame arrester, a safety device. You can learn more about its intended purpose in my part 2 video, link above.
New gas cans are “ENGINEERED FOR SAFETY” (says the government agencies). But the safety measures built into these cans and spouts are messy, difficult and potentially DANGEROUS to work with. This video shows several EASY and FREE gas can modifications that make a HUGE improvement in usability.
The gas can in this video is the Midwest Can 5 gallon Safe-Flo Line 5 gallon container, with the Quick-Flow Spout, model 5610.

Despite the fact that several people are trying to make others out as bad people for preferring the old style "cans", if people weren't so lazy to put the yellow cap back on the pourer spout, they wouldn't have to worry about the fumes, or whatever. I still gladly have the old style, and even an old round metal gas can like my Grandfather had. I have never had to fuss with "safety" features, and if I have anything to say about it, I won't.

Those cheap plastic nozzles eventually crack and leak. Funnel is better in many situations. Usually lawnmowers is all I use gas directly from the can.

I have a story to tell about those gas cans. So, the world largest manufacturer of these cans is located in NE Oklahoma. I was a sales rep for a mechanical contractor who did work on their chillers. The director of maintenance told me they had to develop a "spout" that was idiot proof (and they knew those spouts are junk) because they had been sued several times. The last lawsuit was the final straw. Here is what happened; some idiot was burning leaves and the guy burning the leaves noticed the fire was going out. So this genius decided to poor gasoline while standing over the leaves and the gas can caught on fire, long story short, he was badly burned. The idiot won the lawsuit, can you believe that? Anyway, after losing 3 three lawsuits, the owner sold the company , the new company developed this spout which is worthless and they know it is worthless however, if the spout is modified in any way shape or form, they can not be sued and win. There are many more details but you get the point. So you can thank stupid idiots who are litigious for causing those companies for a spout that is next to impossible to work.

Another good idea is to drill a hole on the top opposite the spout so that it doesn't have to fill with air as your pouring and make that repetitive sloshing effect since the can will fill woth air as you pour. You can then plug it with a golf tee to reseal it when not pouring

I can't believe one needs to _install_ a vent on the new gas cans. My old plastic one has a built-in vent. What were they thinking? Is leaving out the vent supposed to save the planet?

Regarding the white filter/flame arrester, I found it much easier and quicker (once I got the hang of it) to simply push it into the new unused gas can, shake it around to reverse the direction and then pull it out backwards. On mine it had the one way features that made pulling it straight out hard. If you're careful, you can even use the little forming tab at the bottom to grab onto. I may or may not have recently upgraded a dozen cans with new caps, air vents, and good funnels.

I bought a diesel can with this same nozzle design and hated it. However, rather than removing the spring, I removed the red safety tab. Having the spring loaded nozzle shut off is very handy because I can invert the can without any fuel coming out, then set it down on the fuel filler neck and the weight of the can opens the valve on the nozzle. Works great on my Kubota 3901. I can use two hands to hold a full can without having to mess with the red safety tab.

[@MikeFyxdt]

Fritz - really good comments! In my second video I actually replaced the spring, but shortened it to make it easier to depress. Much better now! Here's the link if you'd like to watch...Video 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqC8qZeonadpgtU

I did the same as you on my gas and diesel cans. even have a kubota lol. I put a valve stem in the top rear of the handle as a vent and then poke a hole in the filter then grab and rip it out with a looong heavy duty needle nose pliers. Viola, usable gas or diesel can. I have a 12v fuel pump I bought for pumping extra gas out of a boat. I am going to get an adapter for my ridged 18v battery then a voltage reducer and wire it all up and then leave the can on the floor and pump the fuel into the tractor.

Then I retrieved the spout & pieces & made the happy discovery that without that frustrating red piece, I now had a simple spring-loaded spout! I plan to do the same thing to my other one...minus whipping it at the wall. 😏 I guess companies that utilize this particular "safety" feature never considered the issues they created for older folks, people with disabilities & arthritis. Some of us don't have people we can ask to help us, either...and for something as stupid as getting gas out of a can! It takes quite a bit of pressure to depress that little red button. Did. Past tense, I should say! 😁

[@paulm2734]

Mike, I believe what you removed from inside the can was not a filter but a flame arrestor. That's why they advertise those cans as having a "Flame Shield Safety System". Having worked in the oilfield I am familiar with equipment built to tolerances such that vapor fires self extinguish when they are forced between gaps in panels in equipment that are built to specific tolerances. I think that device that you removed is likely such a contraption. The idea being that if there was a fuel/air mixture outside of the can that found an ignition source and flashed back to the can it would self-extinguish when it hit that screen, and not ignite the gasoline inside. While I agree the newer gas cans are in general a pain in the a**, you probably should have left that in place. I am able to fill mine just fine by filling them a little slower so the gas has time to filter through the holes in the flame arrestor and doesn't trigger the auto shutoff on the gas pump. Just my two cents.

[@MikeFyxdt]

@Paul M - Yes, since making the video I've learned the purpose of the 'filter' is, as you state, a flame arrestor. I plan to do another video bringing this to light. That being acknowledged, I feel that this safety feature is appropriate to a small group of people using gas cans to add fuel to an existing fire, but is a hinderance to the majority of people simply trying to dispense fuel. In my follow up video I'll try to explain the safety concerns/reasoning, and then let people make up their mind whether to do this modification. Maybe a later version of this 'safety system' won't inhibit the day-to-day practicality of the container as much as the current design!

[@krbkrbkrbkrbkrb]

@@MikeFyxdt Once upon a time, the safety screens were metal screens installed in the spout itself so you had the advantages of the safety feature but it wasn't in the way when filling the can. Now the cans are entirely molded plastic and you can't make a plastic screen that will fit into a spout so they stick them in the can.

So when you’re taking the filter out of the can. Once you have pliers on the filter twist the pliers, so it brings the filter inward then pull out a few times. There is a little lip it sits into that once you get it out of it’ll come right out.

Michael, the filter (flame arrester) on my can was friction-fit with plastic barbs that resisted being pulled straight out. I suppose twisting the pliers could pull the barbs inward and help removal. Just be careful not to distort the can itself!

Actually there is validity to this. If you mix gasoline with a rather large number of home, commercial and industrial chemicals you get toxins that are far far more dangerous.

Don't do this, but it is an example of how dangerous carrying gasoline WITH other material can be.
