Just buy the water spout kits and drill a hole in the handle for the vent.
Seriously, arfcom loves to overcomplicate gas cans. The stupid plastic red ones with the above modification work fine and are way cheaper than metal cans or the VP racing cans |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At the risk of taking all manners of abuse....what's so terrible about gas cans that there are so many options and opinions? Imagine instead of taking a cap off of a spout and pouring gas into a generator, lawnmower, etc like it used to be in the good old days...you had to hold it over the generator with your right hand (with a handle not allowing for a decent pouring position) while operating some contraption with your left hand to get gas to come out. And when the gas does come out it never flows, it glugs and splashes all over the place. Fucking yay. |

Anyone who has used a post ban gas can knows they are aggravating pieces of shit. I’m sure you could be happy standing over a lawnmower or your gas powered real doll slowly sloshing gas into the tank, but I have shit to do and putting gas in the tank used to be a simple, fast operation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 20L NATO metal cans made by Wavian or Valpro AND the flexible metal spout (called a Donkey D@ck?). Recommend red if the public gets to see them. Any other color if the public will not see them. British Atlantic had a great deal recently and I picked up 2ea 4 packs for about $160ea. Normal price is about $80ea. If you are not into the metal cans, then you can get a replacement spout kit on Amazon that comes with a better nozzle and a breather hole deal that you can add to the 5 gal plastic crappy cans. TT This x 87!!! |

How long you been using them? I've been kicking around the idea of buying some since I bought a couple of EU2200's a couple of months ago. I've been using plastic VP Racing jugs for years, but I never store fuel in them, only for transport for dirt bikes. Now I'm looking for metal cans that I can safely store for maybe six months at a time before rotating it out.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Been on a generator out here the last two days and these gas cans are pissing me off. The No-spill 2.5 gal cans are great for small engine stuff like generators and mowers. No-spill makes generic branded ones for Walmart, they're like 17 dollars. They self vent through the nozzle like the jerry cans, and the push button and the angle of the nozzle just makes it easy. ETA A tip on adding vents. The plastic flip open vents are readily available and are better than improvised options. Use a spade wood type drill bit, they cut a smoother hole in the plastic than twist bits. |
