"The White House is trying to make gas cans fill great again.
In a July 24 letter, the EPA has asked gas can manufacturers to redesign their much-maligned products to fix a long-standing problem: "People hate 'em," said Florida-based eBay gas can reseller Steven Watt, 63. "It's all about the spout."
bought a Tesla, problem solved.
LOL! The lame stream will report as right wing MAGA extremist threat of more violence with gas bombs. Probably demand background checks.
R-12! Yeah!!!
P.S. Replacement spouts are available. Or mod your own. 😊👍
I bought a couple conversion kits off of Amazon a couple months ago and they work great. I was spilling more gas with the new tanks then I ever did with the old.
The problem with the plastic cans is that the new spouts rot when exposed to the heat and the fuel vapors. And they break when you attempt to open them afterwards.
Unworkable junk. Many different complex designs all made to be unworkable junk.
I use funnels or the battery powered tank insert pumps.
Ditto on the non explosive refrigerant....iso butane...wonder what refrigerators do in a house fire...kaboom?

They are all supposed to be air tight, that is what the simple cap did. Those vapors escaping are your “light ends” which help with ignition. Store gas out of the sun in a cool place.
Not a problem for most people. I spent many eight hour days measuring thousands of bbls of gasoline flowing into a ships tank through an open ullage. I never had any health problems from that. I got most of my health problems from safe and effective.
The surprise is no one has designed and patented better choices of gas tank and spout assemblies up to now.
Maybe there is no one configuration suitable for all.
After-market spouts have been available for years.
Mostly you just have to run a drill down the spout and break off the latch mechanisn. Same for the shower heads.
There was a lot less fumage from the old flexible spouts than from the funnels that are often substituted for the new trick spouts that appear to be designed to be discarded in exasperation.
As long as Democrats believe that men can cut off their peckers and “become” chicks, they will NEVER have the majority support of men in the US, PERIOD end of story. They can go to wrestling events and football games pretending to care about what men like but as long as they support the trans insanity ideology they will never have the full support of men, that simple
Vevor sells a steel jerry can with flexible metal spout. Will probably last me for the rest of my life.
Now hurry up & get rid of the stupid start/stop BS. No one wants their motor to shut off every time you stop the car.
“bought a Tesla, problem solved.”
I was waiting for that one! This is mainly about lawnmower gas, but they do make electric mowers.
I always buy the replacement spout kits that come with a breather that you install. They work great. The original “push” spouts are garbage. They cause spills rather than preventing them.
