YES, YES, YES!!! One of my biggest pet peeves is "government gas cans." Only the government could screw up something so simple, so badly, while making it next to impossible to work around (but there are ways). I'll guarantee you there has been 10X more spillage as a result of these abominations that were supposed to "eliminate" it.

I bought some old jerry cans so I don't have to deal with the new CARB bullshit. A friend of mine bought Canadian Military SCEPTER cans and they are sweet!

Sorry for your loss mate, was not my intent to awaken memories. The last one we lost had several trips to the vet with no improvement, after her final trip I sat in the car park for at least an hour before I could make the 5 minute drive home.

No worries, it's actually good to remember. Unfortunately, remembrance also carries some pain with it. Nothing anyone can do about that.

Thx,

There actually a website that sells kits to convert your government gas can back to the old school gas cans. I’ll see if I can find it

That was the work-around I mentioned. They sell them at Tractor Supply, too. I have them on about 4 small cans and 2 5-gallon cans. They work great, but my only issue has been with the supplied gasket seal tearing up easily and causing it to leak at the base of the spout when pouring.

Before installing the cap the first time, rub some silicone LUBRICANT on the o-ring and reinstall it. That will keep it from tearing.

Edited:
Wrote sealant instead of lubricant

The only thing better than the SureCan in the gas pump itself. There is a vent hidden under the lever, squeeze the lever opens the flow valve and the vent at the same time. Fill through the big opening.
