For those who've never heard of these, they've been out there for a long time and are proven.
I've used them for years with no complaints. |

Just buy good ones.
These are the best commercially available cans. The plastic ones all suck.

I actually like the CARB compliant can (with push button spout) for filling mix gas tools.
 But it's bullshit for anything bigger. Kharn |

Quote HistoryThese nozzles are the best. Their cans suck and split at the seams within a year. (If they ride around in the back of the truck and get used daily) |

For vents, I've always drilled a 1/2" hole and installed a metal tire valve stem with the valve core removed.
I bought a 2.7gal and 5 gal "Tuff Jug" with ripper cap, and it's the best can I've ever used.

For the vent, you need a very specific drill bit or they will leak. I believe it is 31/64" or something similar. I have a few and some vents I can sell if anyone needs them.

Stacking isn't an issue when you pick up a used flammable cabinet for $100. |

A smaller No Spill brand can is awesome for filling small engines. A 5-gallon one can be a little unwieldy, depending on what you’re filling, or if you have strength issues.
For vehicles and the boat, I use 5-gallon VP Racing cans. |

Surprisingly, the new plastic can doesn't spill anything, no drips, leaks, etc. That is a very common complaint I hear about NATO cans. Don’t know if it’s knockoff Chinese cans, or if it’s an inherent design flaw. But that’s a no-go for me. Any spillage not caused by my own screwup is not acceptable. |
