Fuel cans from hell

Posted on 12/21/2014 8:20:29 AM PST by rey

What is wrong with environmental wackos that they think the laws of physics do not apply to them?

The screwy new fuel cans that have no vent are impossible to use. Supposedly the vent will release something undesirable into the air but as that vent is only open when the can is I cannot imagine having a vent is worse than having the can open. Without a vent, the can sort of glugs splashing fuel about, certainly more harmful that vapors and more wasteful.

Typical moronic ideas based on desires and not reality.

Thanks. The sad part is ... it probably took dozens of highly paid bureaucrats to think up and promulgate this idiot regulation ... none of whom use dump cans to refuel outdoor power equipment, boats, etc.

I had already Mickey Moused a by-pass for the nozzle but I would never have thought of a tire valve for the vent. I’m heading out to the garage now to install one. Thanks for the tip!

The new cans cost twice as much and cause fuel spills.

I can take the spout off on mine but the problem with not seeing how full the tank is is there.
