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.
I bought one of the new cans and was never able to get it working, so I went with the funnel to fill my snow blower from it. So much for safety and gas fume prevention.
I concur. After having had one for over a year now, I have to admit that I kind of like the thing. I still keep an old (1983 or so) Blitz can around for oil/gas mix, but the No-Spill gets the nod for the 4-stroke fuel.

Does this mean that all lawyers are left wing morons that they are willing to pursue these lawsuits? Where is the push back? Will no lawyer work PRO BONO on the side of sanity?
Which is why one of the most valuable things I inherited from my mother’s estate was her gas can...
And if left outside in the heat too long—when most people mow their grass (excepting users of Mexican ‘bagpipers’)—these plastic jugs swell to the point of bursting.
Like ‘low flow’ toilets that must be flushed more than once, using more water, but maybe deadly.
Thanks federal government, as usual—for nothing!
Products like that are from big, government-linked businesses using government as a tool to prevent competition. Products like that are suitable for all of the political elite and regulators who aren’t even technically inclined enough to make a good gas can.
Have drill, will hole.
Talking about budget problems, I once (for fun) suggested to a liberal that we law of mathematics, and he wholeheartedly agreed. The law of physics is not important to liberals.
>>With the ventless cans, it’s an easy fix to tilt the spout into the tank, start the gas flowing, then punch a hole in the bottom of the can with your knife.<<
You know, given the true economic value of the ventless cans (approximately zero), eventually one might be able to buy them in bulk and use them in exactly the way you described.
That’s awesome Car !! Thanks !
I am glad I have a few old style ones made of plastic. I am beyond EPA reach on this
we REPEAL THE law of mathematics
Yeah, I’ve got a couple of those CARB cans. Work great
+1 on the nospill brand. I’ve got about 6 of them.
(The young lady in the videos looks very qualified... Far be it from me to notice...)
Great post! I’m heading down to the barn right now to fix a gas can!
Here’s a much better, fully-vented alternative that holds 6.5 gallons, is absolutely spill-proof, and you can cheaply make the nozzle of your choice from the plumbing supply area at Lowe’s:

Fascinating, so interesting I watched the video 3 times!
Oh, and “No-Spill Jill” is interesting too!
;-)
Yeah, they are not cheap.
All the CARB cans are expensive but I figured if I’m laying out the cash anyway, I’ll go with the no-spill.
Also the spouts are replaceable as they sell all the repair parts for them.
The ones with the slide valves on the spouts are total garbage.
I miss my old Malco “Gasser” in galvanized steel.
(grin)

Only modification I did was to cut the stupid “ratchet” off the spout collar.
