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!!!
So true...
Had to buy one of these monstrosities the other day. Couldnt figure out how it worked as it came with no instructions. Had to watch a YouTube video. Once I figured it out, I have to confess ... I like it. Precise pouring and didnt spill a single drop. Much better than the previous plunger type spouts.
Metal nato gas cans with a rubber spout. Just get extra gaskets.
You can make a nice funnel by cutting off the top third of a 1 gallon milk/water jug.
“Does anyone know where you can buy a real toilet legally?”
The last ones we bought were from a house/building salvage place. They had a lot of the trim and wood flooring that is unavailable now.
Yup. They are safer for the environment because they don't spill or leak fumes. Your IQ must be below the 8th grade level determined by the government to be the minimum age to operate such a device.
I have said the same thing about wishing to talk to the person who invented and even more so the boss who approved the invention in regards to automobiles. Seems they like to take something that functions just fine and fu-k it all up.
I use the can,,,but take the cap off and USE a funnel.
Wish they would quit trying to help.
Score!
When I fuel up the zero-turn I use a wide-mouth funnel and leave the spout off of the can. Otherwise the thing would burndown from the spillage when it starts.
Check military surplus stores for the 5 gallon jerk cans and spout.
I think I’d rather walk my mower to the gas station and back.
Yes, it’s capitalism.
Every item on a Walmart needs to earn its profit. High volume items get the best shelf space. Lesser desired products are on the lowest shelf.
At my local Walmart in Georgia, the gas cans are shown in a remote corner of the store and way in back.
Gas cans take up lots of space on the shelf and people need to buy them only on a blue moon.
Every old gas can my husband finds at a yard sale gets brought home. We have 20 or so. That’ll be $500. Please

By cutting off less, one can make a small-watercraft bailer too.
Liberal 'elites' NEVER use gas cans so they can design them to feed their big fat 'environmental' egos... at the expense of people who use gas cans...
