Replace the old pain in the rump fuel can spouts with EZ Pour spout kits. Like most people, I can't stand the new style "safety" spouts. They are the blight of lawnmower owners everywhere. I show you how to retrofit those pain in the rump gas can spouts with an actual normal spout you can get at Tractor Supply Co. The can I fix in this video is for a diesel tractor, but you get the idea.

Two years ago I took this man’s advice. went TSC and converted about 8 gas and kerosene jugs, and haven’t looked back. No more spills, no more wrestling with the safety trigger, no more over flows; just clean no mess reliable fuel exchange every time. The spout conversion kits sold at Tractor Supply are good quality and easy to install. If your tired of this portion of the EPA’S encroachment in you life, this is a simple remedy. DO IT. You will be pleased with yourself.

[@vikto07081980]

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.

[@3DPDK]

Another example of the California influence on the rest of the country. Most of these plastic jugs are manufactured in China and are designed to comply with California standards. The spout vent is supposed to draw up gas fumes escaping the tank into the jug just like a California type gas nozzle at the pump. These "eco-friendly" innovations are the cause for more spills and wasted gas than any other method of transferring fuel. It's a shame that now you have to pay extra to recreate the trusty ol' tin Jerry Jug and goose neck spout

[@joesmoe71]

I wish southern California would just secede from the union already so they can be as "special" as they want and the rest of us can watch them implode like another Venezuela. BTW don't be surprised if they make buying this kits illegal once people start finding out about them.

It was such a pain in the ass to press the spout in just the right position to push the outer sleeve back to allow the gas to flow. In addition, there is no vent, so the bottle collapsed with every chug of gas. I have searched for the old style spouts for years. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome find!

The reason normal people get mad is they can't believe they're actually that many people out there who can't figure out how to use a simple gas can. It's like we've got to dumb down the gas can so the Jerry's kids out there can use them without spilling gas. seriously how hard can these automatic nozzles be for those special people to operate. You pick up The Jug press a button, put the nozzle into the tank, the weight of the can will automatically open the nozzl and the gas pours out automatically. Then when you're done you lift the can out of the tank it automatically stops pouring gas.... wow how hard was that LOL I wouldn't be surprised if half the people complaining about these gas cans can even tie their own shoes.

[@ReadyUpGo]

I only accidentally came across your video. Thank You!! I have several such cans and have needed a smart solution. The variety of nonsensical designs for spouts proves that some engineers have too much time on their hands and can be assigned projects for which they have NO field experience.

Nice video. Just got my 5 gal gas tank from Lowes. I know what you mean by the "strut" like springs.... yep, it's def not right. I think I have a solution to all those who haven't thrown or destroyed the original nozzle out just yet. There's a simple solution which is to simply remove the spring. It's so easy that you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it in the 1st place. Once the spring is removed.... the plunger slides in & out easily. After the nozzle is improved, just make sure the slide part is located at the top side, not on the under-side or it will def leak. Ok, you probably want to know how to remove the spring without breaking the damn thing. Simply activate the slider & push the slider in...... while holding the slider so it doesn't close ... remove the O-Ring from the other side that prevents leakage... this releases the slider from the nozzle. Then you're ok to remove the "strut" spring. Put back together along with the O-Ring on the plunger side & you have a working nozzle with a functioning locking stopper.

[@ArnoldsDesign]

Thank you for your ideas. Another vent will also increase fuel flow.

I agree these spouts aren't designed to fill up mowers, tractors , etc. It takes two hands and a good aim. But, I discovered the one I have is convenient to put gas in the car. With the old design, I would have to use a funnel, but with these I just turn it upside down and press it into the fill tube , it doesn't open until it's inserted, and it hasn't spilled a drop. For anything else, it's a pain.

It’s about time someone countered the stupidity of safety gas cans. You have no idea how much gas I’ve spilt just fighting with gas can safety spouts.

[@ronnetzel356]

Don't like the new gas can design either, thanks for the info, great video.

[@johno6861]

I could invent a new spout and if I had enough money to bribe my representative they would mandate it.

[@jonathanreed8876]

THANK-you! The 'safety' valve requires pressure to open it along the tank rim. My Tecumseh gas tank split at the seam as a result!

[@ArnoldsDesign]

I'm glad it helps you out. The safely ones are frustrating.

[@Charliemmafan]

Nice video thanks for making it, I hate all the new spouts as well and can't hardly even use any of them either it's insane!

[@kawboy216]

you should remind everyone to flush the can after you drill the vent hole so any plastic that fell inside won't get put into your motor.

[@ArnoldsDesign]

Good idea, but one thing I forgot to mention in the video is that these spouts have a fine metal screen at the base, so chips probably won't be issue after all.

[@kawboy216]

Awesome! I actually ordered one of these right after watching your video! Thanks!

[@prestonwheeler959]

kawboy216 that's what a full filter is for

[@kawboy216]

Preston Wheeler ohhhh you mean a fuel filter. That may be true but I'd still prefer to not pump​ plastic shards through my fuel lines if I can avoid it. To each their own

[@ericmcgregor5665]

You should flush

[@tomgardner9069]

First, the EPA can kiss it. Second, thanks for posting this. I'm gonna go buy their stocks now. Third, why on earth do you have over 3000 dislikes on this video?? Are they EPA employees or what? (rolls eyes)

[@texasbell2481]

I wonder about the dislikes also. Very handy info!

[@poetentate]

I absolutely HATE those new gas cans. I've never spilled so much gas until I had to start buying those dumb things. Nice to know where you can get replacements.

[@southernman5839]

I'm going to do mine! Thank you!

[@sandyharris1047]

I did this to all my fuel cans a few years ago. It makes fueling and filling faster. My guess why it was a dumb idea was to not allow vapors to escape, BIG DEAL!!!

[@lochinvar00465]

As I understand it, the spouts were changed to prevent people from pouring gasoline onto campfires. Some idiots managed to get burned badly and the govt thought it could fix stupid.

[@1320fastback]

I always take the spout off and use a funnel.

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

Me, too

[@applejacks971]

"It's just stupid" - Arnold's Design 2017 EXACTLY!! I throw these new fangled spouts away and just use my funnel. Great video!

[@ArnoldsDesign]

Thanks!

[@nodak81]

If you have an air compressor it works great to blow a bunch of air through the can after drilling. Helps get any bits of plastic out of there.

[@aNuthaRedneck]

I'm thinking you could blow air into the spout while drilling to blow the shards back out rather than into the can. I've done a couple without this idea. It is a very quick process.

[@Rick-yx5ic]

Those ez pour gas nozzles are really good I've come to understand the old way of things is far better than the new ways enjoyed the video

[@SteveStoltz]

And all of this time Ive been tearing the spring loaded crap off in attempt to make it into a normal spout, It never occurred to me that someone made a spout that could fix what the government screwed up. lol

[@ArnoldsDesign]

I'm glad it helped.

[@kansasgardener5844]

Just bought a new gas can today. Going to TS tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

[@ArnoldsDesign]

Glad it helped!

[@mguerramd]

A step bit works very well when drilling plastic. You get a clean round hole that’s not oversized.
