I never had a gas spout break until the "new and improved" modern gas can spouts emerged.

Tractor Supply sells the old style spout for $10. I think it's for "Water".

Those safety things are silly, here in sweden we have obstruction free spouts, just tilt the can and out comes the gas, without any hassle.

I agree 100%. New Gas cans are complicated. I seriously HATE them I have gotten so pissed and thrown the stupid safety cap across my yard a couple times.

Last time I used my gas can I had this exact conversation with my wife. The safety spouts cause more gas spillage than the evaporation they are supposed to prevent.

i cut the "safety" part of the pour spout off my "safety" can, i spilled more fuel down the side of my car trying to get the nozzle in the first time i ever used it than i have ever spilled with an old fashioned can. those things are useless, overpriced junk.

"Let's incorporate a spring into a caustic liquid delivery system!" (Facepalm)

I Like the safety spouts sold in my area. Just takes 3 seconds with bolt-cutters to fix the bs!

Absolutely. I never spilled gas until I bought a new can with the new lid.

VP Racing Fuels gas cans are the only way to go.

You are going to sell a ton of these. I hate the new gas cans. I use them for a lot of things.

I feel your pain. I'm not sure who the laws are protecting anymore.

I have one of those cans and i agree. Now if i were an octopus, i might feel differently.

Three reasons behind the state of gas can spouts 1) Child proofing. In response to a case of children playing with or near fuel cans, and cause a spill that was ignited; the law was enacted to require child proof lids. 2) Environmental concerns over the harmful effects of "Vapors" mandated that the lids/spouts be self closing i.e. default to a closed position. 3) Idiot proofing! This is the one that really gets me. The nozzles are inordinately complex and difficult to use simply put to make it neigh impossible to "lock" open and pour fuel. Why? To prevent idiots form pouring gasoline onto an open fire. I some highly publicized cases where that actually met with what most would consider the likely outcome, explosion, the persons sued the can manufacturers claiming, "the manufacturers did not make it impossible to do so, therefore they were liable." Just look at the case of Blitz USA. Maybe the comedian Bill Engvall was right and we should label the "idiots" and not the products they use!

I apologize on behalf of California. Its so hard to not come up with new ideas and impose on them on the whole united states when you're from Berkeley and think you know everything despite history and science proving you wrong at every turn.

I skip the cheesy red cans for the same reason. Go to your local off-road motorcycle shop and peruse the cans they have. No safety spouts on any of them and most have long clear tubing for a spout and a screw on cap on the end of the tube.

"safety can" designed by envirowackos who never have to use them.

I am another one of the handicapped guys with only 2 arms who has spilled more gas in the past few years than previous 65. My solution is not as elegant as yours, but it works. Tie some string around the the bottom of the can to the top as a loop tight enough hold the handle down. Now it pours like a gas can should and I can control it. The latest solution is just remove the whole spout and cap and use a funnel. Charm. This spring I noticed the plastic gas can stored in a well ventilated garden shed blew up like a beach ball. Now I keep the cap loose because there is no vent to allow excess pressure out. Brand new shed with decking type floor 6" over ground and spaces between. Ridge vent in roof. It is built just like one would build a home. It was not even warm inside. Metal Eagle brand gas are still sold on Amazon, $50 USD for 5 gallon size. Mine is 40 years old or more.

I bought two of these pumps and, so far, I have used one of them to fill the tank on my 30 hp tractor, which is located directly behind the operator's seat. I couldn't imagine holding the can that high from the ground or having to climb up on the seat to fill the tank. I probably would have gotten diesel fuel everywhere. This pump worked fantastic! It emptied a 5-gallon can in just minutes while I rested the tank on one of the rear tires while standing on the ground. Thanks for bringing this to the public!

I can't believe this video exists!! Ha!! Forwarded this to my wife!! I can't tell you how many gas cans I've kicked or thrown!! She thinks I was crazy!! Thought I was a baby!! Ha!! 1 victory for men!!!

Not to knock the cool little electric pump, and with all due respect, if you are using the first safety can the way you demonstrated, you are using it wrong. The little nub that you were using to push in the valve is suppose to be place against the lip of the tank you are pouring into, and the weight of the can with gas is suppose to push in the valve. You should only have to balance the can and press the valve lock release. So far, that is my favorite type of safety valve. That being said, I also don't like the safety cans. Thanks for the video!

Exactly....we have all spilled more fuel since their “improvements”. They are absolutely ridiculous

in case someone hasn't pointed it out, all those can's with "claw" on the nozzle are not meant to be used with hands. You jam the nozzle in the tank, catch claw on the lip of the tank, then either push and/or let the weight of the can push the "claw" back. the can will drain and when the fuel reaches the can, the can will vapor lock and stop pouring. When you lift the can the spring closes the valve. Theoretically flawless, but the realities of loose caps, sticky seals, binding springs, and flexible gas can bodies can screw the whole process up. and, of course, they can never flow as fast as an equivalently sized nozzle in a vented can.

I used the first type once and it shot gas out of the nozzle about two feet in the air. I'm glad my face wasn't directly over it. The can was under pressure like any gas can would be that has a tight lid. So, not only are they a pain to use they are dangerous!

The pin is suppose to be pushed against whatever your pouring it into you catch the lip of where your pouring in to with the pin of the gas lid

I have one and it is great. I even bought one for the mowing team at Waterman Conservation Center, which has a lot of trails for hikers and has nature programs. Now any of the volunteers with a little education can take care of all their gas needs.

Hey Cody, just go to your nearest motorcycle store (motocross) or amazon and look for a VP racing 5 gal fuel jug. No more STUPID filler necks. They are simply the best gas jug on the market.

I can not stand those things !!!!

First thing that crosses my mind is shock/spark from an electrical device. Wonder if there are any hand pumps?

I agree, it’s a puzzle trying to pour your gas

Meanwhile in Australia: Take off lid Extend spout Pour Good ol' "land of the free".

"EZ Pour" on Amazon! Universal old style gas can spout!

Those cans are air tight which make them dangerous. I have several 5 gallon gas cans, all less than 2 yrs old. One was in my garage half full. I heard a bang in the garage but couldn't figure out what happened. Two days later I found bloated gas cans and the one that was half full had built up enough pressure to fire the safety device out with enough force to punch a hole in some plastic siding.

First time I encountered one of these I had ran out of gas and walked to a gas station. Got back to my car and couldn't figure out how to make the damn thing work, ended up spilling a couple gallons of gas and then just having my car towed to the station. Ridiculous.

Use the justrite metal gas cans. They are indestructible. And super neat. No fumes get out. You can put the spout in the tank then pull the lever to open it. Super high quality

That's cool, thanks for sharing. Nice quality video.... great lighting, good shots and awesome sound.

I have the same gas can and every time I fill my lawn mower I overflow it. EVERYTIME!

The way you fumble with those other spouts is just like one of those as seen on tv commercials. Lol

I feel you on this. I do a lot of landscaping and yard work and these cans are the only ones sold anymore. The problem u often have is when I try to fill a lawnmower, weed wacker, whatever, the spout will get jammed and the tank will overflow before I can get the spout out of it. So annoying

now i have to ask: who is Brian ?

Tell me about it !!! This is obviously the work of a college graduate. The knuckle heads who create these things need to be beaten severely about the head and shoulders. I got blasted in the face with gas when I placed the nozzle in the lawnmower tank and then released the valve. Pressure accumulates in the can and has no way to vent. All other cans I own have a vent. I guess this is what we refer to as " PROGRESS".

Agree! Agree! Agree! - Despise those stupid gas cans.

Love that pump. I'll have to order a couple soon. On that second 'safety spout' you showed, I take a needle nose plier, and remove the safety interlock plastic thing. It makes it easy to operate, and the valve still closes when you release the trigger.

"We must protect these idiots from themselves, here son, design a gas can that's virtually impossible to use without spilling a couple gallons down your pants and all over your boots, eliminate the vent to maximize the amount of time for spilling to occur, add a cheap-a$$ plastic valve mechanism that doesn't work right to make it as difficult to use as possible, we'll call it a "safe" gas can and force people to use it by taking all the sensible gas cans off the market." Sheer brilliance...

I'm using metal cans and getting rid of those stupid plastic gas cans.

That pump setup is sweet...! I curse the idiots who came up with the design and mechanics that make up a safety can. The only thing they are good for is getting my blood pressure up, making me cuss, being thrown, kicking around, and dumping all of my gas out on the ground or driveway...! When we have the money I will be ordering some of these to transfer: 1) gas 2) diesel fuel 3) kerosene 4) fresh water, using only containers specified for that use 5) gray water, using only containers specified for that use I can envision this saving a lot of backbreaking labor along with reducing my waste to about zero from having no spillage. Thank you Mr. W for sharing this with us. Be Blessed and have a great day...!

So True! One of the worst examples of stupid government in action. I have been enraged every time I interact with them.

what happened the why yanmar video? I got a notification for it, but it's not available anymore

Get the "NO SPILL" brand. They're great cans and far superior to all others on the market now. They're a bit pricey but worth it instead of the hassle of these idiotic things. I've got them in gas and diesel and they're great. (And you don't need batteries for a transfer pump)

I live in California. Those new Gas Cans SUCK! You are absolutely spot on about spilling more gas now than ever. Knuckleheads run our state into the ground. Anyway, I really enjoyed your no nonsense delivery of the information about them. Thank You , Weav in Sutter Creek, CA

I don't particularly like the safety cans. However, I have learned to use them. The secret is that you don't activate the valve yourself. You put the spout into the gas tank. There is alway a hook on the spout designed to catch the rim of the tank. Use the weight of the can to push down on the valve. This lets the gas flow into the tank. The spout is designed to stop filling when the level in the tank reaches it. By lifting up on the can, the valve closes, sealing the can.

eagle safety cans are the best in my opinion.

I just got mine on your recommendation, and it's slick. I love it. I'm sick of holding up 5-6 gallons of gas while filling something or watching a funnel, and always having it overfill. The auto stop when full worked like a charm. Thanks!

i have many of these cans and hate them too. major Canadian auto parts retailer in Ontario is now selling the old style again with flexible pour spout and small secondary capped hole at the back to allow air in. i use one user - friendly can to pour gas out of and others just to store gas. when i need more i take both pour spouts off completely and pour directly from one can to the other. gas for lawn mower is kept in smaller 2 gal can with vented flexible spout. small enough for wife to use without spilling. great videos, cody. keep em coming.

We have very similar ones here in Australia, but we don't have those silly safeties on the doodle, you just open the lid and pull the doodle out, pull the parts apart and put lid ring back around the doodle and tighten it back on, there's also a small breather hole on the other side of the can, you can undo it or leave it threaded on, I often hold the 20L (5 US gallon if you use the stupid imperial system) can from the rear handle and use my thumb over the breather hole to control how fast the petrol or diesel exits the doodle on the can. The best way to no spill any diesel or petrol is to get the can to the height you need, bend the doodle into or close enough to the filler of the machine you're filling and then begin lifting the can up and tilting toward the machine, and using your thumb over the breather hole as I mentioned before, to control the flow of the fuel.

I bought this pump for use with a poorly designed landscape sprayer that I use for my business and it has made filling up several times a week a joy! Before I had to finagle a funnel underneath my house reel and pull back the safety sheath on the gas can. Everyone it would overflow. Now, I stick the hose in, let it fill and I'm done. So much better!

I just watched your video when you got stuck with your truck and you were talking about getting out of trouble and the way you talk about GOD and living under HIS care. This is so true. GOD BLESS YOU, You are walking on a good path never stop

The Stihl fuel spout has really changed my jerry can use. No more spillage, no more overfills, on any machinery

Should have kept my grandfathers metal gas cans. Been looking for replacement spouts for the ones I have that have the lock/unlock feature. Second time I've had to replace it. Hate them. The mechanism just fails and springs sticking out.

Here I thought the purpose of the safety can was to ensure you spill a bunch of gas so that you buy more. California gets taxes off the gas, so if you spill gas that's more taxes for them.

Your video titles and thumb nails are amazing, I laugh every time I see them!

Batteries on top of gasoline? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

The jerrycan is one of the best designs the germans ever came up with (it's up there with the jet engine). There's a reason why the allies copied it during WWII.

thank you for this!! Stop trying to save me from myself, it's against everything I've ever been raised to know.

The pump works great! Step 1 unscrew the nonsensical cap and spout from your can(s). Use plain old caps to close the cans when not using the pump. You are all set. Have some fresh batteries handy if you transfer a lot of fuel such as for a large riding mower during growing season.

Thank god I live in Germany, where you still can spill the gasoline all over your equipment, without interacting with all those security shittenings. :D

When I lived in Michigan, I had a 5 gal. metal can with a vent. It was hard to hold it and pour gas into the filler in the middle of the lawn mower without spilling gas so I took a cap and installed a hose in a hole in the cap so the hose went to the bottom of the can as well as about 2 feet out of the cap. I put the modified cap on the can, inserted the hose into the mower gas tank, and then attached an air pump to the vent. When I pumped the air pump the gas came up the hose into the fuel tank as I pumped. When the tank was full, I removed the air hose and the fuel stopped flowing. No batteries to mess with. No leaks either.

The safety cans are the worst. They came from an unelected board in California called the carb board that was so concerned with people spilling gas and cans that leak vapor that they made it required that everyone spill gas all over them selves every time they use one of these damn things. I actually bought 30 year old Canadian surplus scepter MFC gas cans since they are grand fathered. Paid 4 x the new price I would have paid for a brand new one in any hardware store in canada. The fine for bringing new ones into the country is absolutely crazy. Like 500$ fine per can. Makes me so angry.

I am going to order one for the guys who mow at our church. Most are a little older and I've had them call me while I was 1800 miles away traveling on business asking if I could come fill the mower for them. This will be a huge help.

Gas lobby designed the safety nozzle to spill the most gas making you buy more. Genius.

It looks neat, I can see the merit in it cutting off too. In the UK our jerry cans come with a nozzle that you screw on and then pour, no sophisticated safety valves or nonsense like that.

Ha! Agree 100%. I've never spilled more than a few drops of gas with a standard gas can. Using these new ones I end up with more gas on the ground than where it should be.

Totally agree! I have a little transfer pump that runs off a cordless drill. Just brilliant. The spindle is the drill bit. I love it.

I like the concept. Especially for the woman in the house. I personally use a NATO Jerry cans with a shaker siphon, no batteries required.

The no-spill cans with the circle style button work great. They have a 1.25g, 2.5g, and a 5g option in red, blue, yellow and clear for water and such. These cans are cheapest on amazon or Tractor supply type store not your local power equipment place. This is all I see on landscape trailers or working with Tree companies.

I purchased one after you showed it last spring and it is great especially if you have any machines you regularly fill up. I use it to fill up a boat and jetski at a lake house. While the pump is working I can go back for more cans when needed or do minor other things while it’s pumping. In the past I used a large funnel which worked okay but a lot more labor was involved.

You are so right about those stupid cans, I have also had problems with those new eco spouts. If you have a full can on a hot day, the pressure build up in the can causes the gas blow out of the spout like a release of a pressurized tank. The only way avoid that in the summer is to fill a 5 gal to about 3/4 full. The premmis of this type of can was to eliminate spillage and evaporation. Ridiculous.

The EPA issued some regulations about gas vapors that caused these horrible "safety" features. I gutted all the springs and stuff, and then created a vent in the can using a large screw and flat washer. I can empty 5 gallons of fuel into my tractor in about 3 minutes.

I'm sorry but you're using those spouts incorrectly. For the first one, you just push the black part in but not down. when you put the spout in the tank or whatever you are putting gas in, you push the black part down with the edge of the tank and the spout opens and the gas starts flowing. I will admit they don't pour very fast but when you lift the can away, the black part snaps back in place and seals the spout. it took me a while to figure them out but they actually work pretty well. That being said, the pump is still a better idea. Particularly considering it's battery powered and can work anywhere.

I always keep an eye out for the metal Eagle cans at yard sales and flea markets. The old ones always have the old flexible metal spouts.

Saved at last! I own a lawn business. My son and I have been lementing our safety can since we bought it. filling small machines all day with this stupid "Safety Spout"

great product but costly, I may suggest that you go to TSC and buy a replacement nozzle for your can it replaces the original with an old fashoned nozzel like they used to make and costs less than $10.

Man, I TOTALLY agree. Spilled some gas from my 5 gallon today. Nothing you can do about it either. Rediculous.

Totally agree with you on this point, however, I've found it's easier on the first one to get the spout to where I'm pouring, then use one hand to press the button, then push the can towards the spout until the flow starts. Love your channel. Keep up the great work!

Just bought a 1 gallon with the same nozzle for my 2 stroke gas. I just tore all the “safeties” off to make the thing safer and more manageable.

The “3 handed” can is by far the easiest spout to use. It’s actually only one hand needed. Push the safety latch till it clicks then put spout in whatever your filling. Push the spout into the hole to start flowing fuel. It will re lock when removed

we use 1 specifically for diesel and it's been very handy. When I have the misfortune to run out of old gas cans I will be buying another. Great vid

couldn't agree more. I spill so much every winter trying to refill the snow blower. I use old gloves then switch back to my newer ones just so they don't smell like gas afterwards.

Everybody rags on those safety cans, but no one (including Wranglerstar) knows how to use them!!! You are supposed to use the lip of the tank hole to push the can open. In other words, you unlock it (which usually involves twisting or pushing something on the nozzle), lift the can up to your machine and push the nozzle of the can against the lip of the hole of the thing you are filling. They all have the little plastic hook at the end that catches the lip. It actually is REALLY nice when you do it right and makes it so you never spill gas. You DON'T need three hands!! When you are done you just let up a bit and it snaps shut while the nozzle is still in the tank of the machine.

I hate those "safe" nozzles too. I do lawn care, so i'm pouring gas every day. I just remove the whole cap and pour straight from the can itself...

I couldn't agree more! I despise those nonsensical spouts.

Kerosene is widely used here in Japan to heat homes with small space heaters, those little electric pumps are sold at all the home centers for not much cash.

I'm Franks wife and he can't stand the new safety cans ! Or should we say it's a has mat nightmare with the amount of all the spillage. May I suggest that you have one of your transfer pumps as a give away some time. My husband is 75 and I'm thinking of getting him one for his 76th Birthday. I think he will love me lot's for it lol. You and your family have a great day and good luck with the tree's.

I have found that a little simple ingenuity is all that is needed to overcome these less than Ideal tanks. I personally take the little bottles that the lucas oil gas treatment comes in, and trim then to fit the opening on the tank and use them. It has worked great for me and although I have to rebuild it periodically, its a simple solution to a simple problem. All that being said, I'm proud of Cody for finding a solution that works for him and his family in this electronic pump.

I have a couple of cans with the black trigger on them. Try using it when it's winter cold and that trigger lock is real stiff. I was looking at it one day and two minutes with a needle nose pliers disabled the trigger lock. Now it's still a valve, but a simple push with the thumb turns the flow on. I actually like it now. Still, this looks like a great product that fills a need.

I'd like the EPA to come to my house and demonstrate my 5-gallon "spill-proof" gas can's spill-proof capability because this can is anything but spill-proof.

"I know it sounds gimmicky, but it's not!!"..... We, .....your very loyal subscribers, want you to get some rest and sunshine... I agree the safety nonsense is ridiculous, but that contraption is just as crazy. The first time your using that that set up in the snow and the batteries die an inevitable death, quickened by the cold, your either gonna have to go find some batteries,... or twist it off and throw it in the snow! My money is on the snow. We love ya man, keep up the good work

Love it! It'd be nice if after done the pump could somehow empty the hose holding the red button for a second or some smart combination of buttons while you hold the hose up to eliminate air pockets of course. Thanks for the video!

Thats funny. Me and my neighbor was just talking about those safety cans tonight. I said how the hell can they be safe? I end up with more on my hands, gloves and whatever I'm filling than I did with the old gas cans.
