WHY DOES A FIVE GALLON GAS CAN COST $20?
WHY DOES IT TAKE THREE ARMS TO USE AND YET I STILL SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE?
WHAT THE F*** IS THIS RIDICULOUS ENGINEERING OBAMANATION OF A CONTRAPTION AND WHY CAN'T I HAVE A NORMAL GAS CAN WITH A NORMAL SPOUT?!?!?!?!
Prepping for a bad storm, I picked up another four five gallon gas cans to top off for my generator and low and behold, WTF are these nightmares? I spilled gas all over myself, all over the generator and all because some environmentalist dickhead managed to convince someone that gas fumes were killing the planet so, low and behold, here's what we're stuck with.
I blame Obama.
President Trump, I implore you! Do you want to win strong in 2020! Give us normal gas cans again!!!
Been using the easy pour spouts for several years now, install the vent by drilling a 1/2” hole, screw on the flex spout, and you’ve got an “old style” gas can. Well worth the $10 cost!
You can get 5gallon jerry cans made for water. You paint them red.
These gas cans exemplify liberalism.
Invent a problem where there was never one before, demand it be solved, mandate a solution that actually makes things worse. Pat yourselves on the back.
Liberals.
There are aftermarket straight spouts.
Lowe’s and Tractor Supply also carry EZ-Pour products.

Somebody probably sells EZ gas can caps and funnels.
Hi there, my suggestion is buy a propane LPG generator, you probably have a gas bottle for your BBQ, very fuel efficient, run much quieter, clean and no spillage issues. Get the big gas bottle and will last for long time. Cheers
Yep. Thats what I have to do.
Im paid dollar for a spout that does not work.
siphon it
Those are beautiful.
In a normal world, they'd be $20.
There's probably thousands of them littering the desert sands of Tunisia, corroding away.
At least you can vent, since these can no longer have one...
I have no problem relating to you on this. Only Liberals could screw something up so badly.
I used to buy 5 gallon Blitz Gas containers at Wal-mart for 5 bucks. Before the changeover. Hang on to them if you got em because they are worth their weight in gold.
Speaking of which how many people know that Blitz was put out of business because someone used one of the cans to pour gas on a bonfire. When they got hurt then they sued Blitz because the container had no warning not to do that. And they won.
Perfect example of why government is NOT the answer to 95% of problems. And the 5% is only whats allowed in our COTUS.
I too have spilled far more gas with these brain farts than with the simple, old-style spouts. I got EZ Pour spouts, but the spout flange is thin and weak, can pull through cap. More marginally made stuff ;(
I miss the old metal flex spouts like I miss Grandpas America.
Its for the chilrun
and retarded libs
That’s a nice suggestion, but not really applicable to my JD 318 beast, Stihl trimmer/blower/chainsaw, etc, etc
and cheers back at ya ;-)
It would be funny to see an old style gas can pictured with the parody graphic of items that the media name as “assault guns” You know the one that shows a pistol and it is labeled assault weapon. Include an old style gas can in that mix!
