The gas can is my number #1 way to show anybody who thinks we need more Government intervention, what you get when you let politicians dabble in something they have no clue about (which seems to be everything, but I digress). I’m not sure there has been a product that has regressed further since it’s inception.

Back in 2019 I bought about a dozen 5 gallon plastic gas cans online and IIRC they were about $12 each. They had the handle on top and side and were self venting. They had the one piece flexible spout with collar and cap. Nothing fancy. I can't believe that these are still not available.

Edited: After looking I still see the Midwest 5 gal red plastic cans available cheap but they all come with the "Quick Flo" nozzle which I guess is what everyone is crabbing about. There are a bunch of hack videos available on Youtube for the nozzle. Here is one that takes the spring out of the nozzle.

    My adapters like those from Amazon are in route as I write this. No more 'gas hands'..... and garage floor.

      Figured you guys would all have battery powered mowers, weed eaters, chain saws, leaf blowers, etc. by now! Get with the program!

        DonM Do you have to add the vent?

        Yes. The vent comes with the kit, and a drill bit for the vent install.

          pike51 Sorry I'm late to this party. VP Racing cans are the way to go. Any color you want and none of that EPA crap that ruined gas cans.

          Read the fine print. These are not made for gasoline.

              Rickochet they only say that as a disclaimer for all the people who will use them for fuel and make a mess with it. I know people who use them for gas for their dirt bikes and never have a problem, and not make a mess. They do work well, and have a large opening to fill through.

                They have to say that legally. I have 4 of them and they work just fine and none of that EPA safety junk.
