Paying ~ $7.00 /gal in Canada for Diesel. I'd also change that Idiotic Nozzle for a flexible one

I'm still using cans I bought over 30 years ago. They even have flexible nozzles. (Very useful for pouring into my motorcycle's fuel tank, as I can put the nozzle into the tank before I even start to tilt the can - no spillage on the bike's 45 year old paint! A rigid spout like this simply won't work.)

I much prefer the Leviton Edge series. The Leviton Edge are sleeker and better designed by having the levers on the side instead of adding more bulk to the back.

Woody? Woody Harrelson?

Once the dril bit gets heated up after contieous drills the tube ll get stuck in the machine🙆‍♂️

Why did they ruin gas cans?

Terrible experience. Just another government crap

I'll forgive the US air farce hat, because this was a great video!!!

Good video.

I've had to do this. And in some cases just take off the spout and pour gas using a funnel. The vent cap is easy to do. But it you don't have them, a drilled hole with a golf tee to close does the trick too.

31/64" The idiotic measure of Imperial! And they say that Metric is senseless.

Much better! I’ll be for those little capped vents on Amazon.

EZ-Pour Spout Kit for Old Gas Cans

Good job. Freedom!!!

You are the man and I'm going to subscribe

I too share your sentiments about these cans , only I left the spring in and only removed the red locking tab. I kind of like resting the can on the rim of the gas tank to be filled and push down, but that’s just me thanx

some grease on the drill bit should help collect shavings, and maybe drilling upward, with the can being held upside down

Better solution: buy replacement spouts with screw on caps (for old cans, of course) and metal vents that resemble valve stems.

I went to tractor supply and picked up a kit that has a replacement nozzle and a vent that you can install on one of those impossible to use without spilling gas cans. Works great. Of course the caveat is that you’re not supposed to install it on a can manufactured after a certain date. So I didn’t, wink wink nod nod say no more.

Thanks so much!

Will it leak if it falls over without the spring tension, maybe cut the spring smaller

You are a life saver. I usually unscrew my nozzle and use a funnel to fill my mower. Using the nozzle over time I have fatigued and broken the plastic gas tanks in my mowers, which are NOT cheap to replace.

THANK YOU for that one. The vent caps were the magic tip

Thanks government!

Do you know what I think? The current administration developed that can right along with the fuel prices! Their both about as bad as it gets!

Thank you for this video I had no clue you could buy vent caps. I did have one of these new gas cans a few years ago and I think I just threw away the nozzle itself I don't know what happened to the filter inside maybe I yanked it out I'm not sure. Sometimes the government oversteps its boundaries with a gas can.

THANK YOU!!! You're my new hero for showing me how to stick it to the EPA!

I smell a fire…

Love it hate these gas cans excellent cheers 🥂 😊

It seems like more work to wire it that way, I'm surprised that was common back in the day.

Just rip the godawful government approved spout off and replace with a plain one from amazon with a cap...done.

Junk.. they leak and cap breaks easily

Just bought one of these cans and this is all that’s available. Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve never spilled a gas can in my life. This can is not usable. Who comes up with this nonsense.

I would leave the flash back screen in for gasoline, it's actually a good thing and just what metal safety cans have, yes you have to fill the can slowly but the flash screen helps bad things from happening. the rest of the mods are excellent 👌

Somehow spilling gas on your shoe and a hot engine is what passes for safety by the swamp...

i didnt even bother modifying mine, i just made a lid for it and pour the fuel into a funnel when refueling my saws and equipment. im serious when i say whoever passed this bill mustve been a dent head thats never filled up with a can before because they DID NOT need to be "fixed"

Everything the Gov'ment touches turns to shit.

Using the new gas cans the brilliant politicians mandated for us to fill a rocking jet ski from a rocking dock is an absolute pain. I bet I spill more gas (and straight into the water no less) than I would have with the old style cans.

So now my regular receptacle is as thick as a GFCI? Yeah no thanks bud

Whenever someone says they want more government and more government oversight, i remind them of what they did to the gas can!

I can fix it even faster. Remove the nossel throw it away. Throw out the plastic "can". Buy a ww2 era jerry can.

Sir, you have missed one more and biggest problem for me. Their main rubber seal is so thin that if you over tighten the cap or put any weight agains that nozzle, that seal rips and then it will leak 100%. Flimsy thin seal plus thin neck walls for that seal to push against and gets cut easily. Any good solution for that?

The EPA avoidance technique!

Wow it works just like the old kind used to that's now obsolete right that's how screwed up America is. And you think that's bad wait to the computers in the next decade if you haven't noticed in the last 5 years or so it's getting more and more and more difficult more hops to get what you want computers will not ; answer a direct question

New gas cans are made by people who work to breed hatred.

Funny how YT works, from the comments it appears YT has recommended this 2 year old video to a bunch of people.

My experience: I take those new new-fangled caps and nozzles off. I throw the nozzle into the trash and replace it with one of the easy-pour nozzles one can find on eBay or Amazon. I take the cap and cut away the press tab or I just throw it too into the trash and use one of the replacement caps that comes with the easy-pour nozzles. I also use those "air-flow" devices (after drilling a hole) and put one into place. Now I can pour 5 gallons of gas into my auto in a very short period.

With all the FU laws today you probably just committed a misdemeanor.

Great fix video! 👍
