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!!!
If I’m not mistaken, only these new fangled gas cans will fit the gas spouts in the new cars........
“the gas cans are shown in a remote corner of the store and way in back”
Same here haha. They tend to move the camping stuff to the back now and move the blankets out front..
That’s what I use, works great.
I buy the jerry cans from sportsmansguide.com
Are they coated on the inside, are they steel, do they have a spout? GI Cans do have these items. Cost about 35 dollars. But are worth the price.
IIRC, they are not internally coated, but were a lot cheaper than the real Jerry cans. They sell the nozzle kit separately and I bought two of those four my four cans.
Two of the cans have seen fairly rough service for nearly ten years without any problems. I do suggest getting spare gaskets off Amazon.
I guess when we take our nearly annual trip to Banff we’ll have to do some shopping.....
