"One of the first things on the agenda is to go back to normal gas cans."

Amen, brother! Those gas can regulations COULD NOT have been drafted by anyone who has ever used a gas can. People who use a gas can regularly will invariably modify the new ones. Why? Because they don't work and spill and create more fumes than the old ones ever did.

Now people throw away the EPA spout and use a funnel or an aftermarket replacement spout, and add a vent hole by punching a hole or using a fancy aftermarket vent kit. There is no better symbol of a clueless oppressive bureaucracy than the new style gas can.

then after the gas cans, get gas stations to sell non-ethanol gas.

I add a valve stem on the opposite end of the spout. Remove the valve core and just use the cap to open it when pouring.

I have no financial interest in these. I do have several and they work great.

Don’t need any such ‘kit’.

Empty the can. Wash it out & rinse it so no fumes remain.

Buy a WING SCREW. Drill a hole the size needed for the WING SCREW. Now you have your vent hole & a stopper.
