They made the best Gas Containers until the Federal Government mandated those so called no spill things. Now you can’t get the gas to go where you want it to go while trying to get the nozzle to open up. Gas gets spilled all over, and takes 10 minutes to empty one container because they have no vent. On top of that the plastic nozzles crack break and fall apart leaving a container that you can’t possibly poor anything thing out of without half of it going all over.

Oh and the price for such luxury was a tripling in the price of the Gas container.

If you have any old ones then hang onto them. They are worth their weight in Gold.

Go to your nearest dirtbike dealer and buy their good 5 gallon plastic gas cans with the removable spout hose and normal vent. Easily the best solution.

This is one thing I saw coming and I bought up lots of them for my personal use. Have a lifetime supply.

I haven't seen the ventless cans but couldn't you just punch a hole in the top and make your own vent?

There’s a similar can being sold here made by Scepter, a Canadian company. They are so bad, they actually make the Blitz look like a quality product. Stay away from them.
