One of the last things I remeber about living in California is buying a one gallon gas can with a “lawyer spout” to use for my mower. The spout had a push/pull anti siphon function that made it impossible to use without putting it all the way into the tank on my Toro mower to press it against the bottom. When I did, I couldn’t see the level of the fuel and it over flowed and spilled all over the place. There is no way it could have been used to put gas into my ‘85 El Camino if I ever needed to.

So true. The "lawyer spout" is the reason I went to flexible funnels.
