I want to know why they changed gas cans in the first place. I spill FAR more gas with these stupid EPA compliant cans than I ever did with an old school can. The vapors heat up and swell the can until it spews in the summer...so what was the benefit of changing them?
Fuck the EPA |

Just buy the fuxxored new civvie cans and un-fuxxor them. It really isn't that difficult.
Or fill from a siphon. That's what I do, whenever possible. |

Fuck the EPA I found aftermarket nozzle kits at Tractor Supply Store that do away with the bullshit, they are only for pre-ban cans., or so they say. They work great, about $12 a kit. One kit fixed two of my cans so it was a steal.

spouts are fine, one set needed a thicker gasket so I just added rtv to it. Another set the gaskets are the right thickness but not as wide so they seal fine but fall out of the spout when not in use.

You don't have to build your own spout. Just perform a little surgery to fix the one they come with. Then just add a vent to the body of the can. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lcnwdIYEfI |

You can spot the differences in seconds, things like spot welds etc... |

LC Gas Jug
I use these. I recommend the white ones so you can see the fuel level. You have to buy the spout hose separately but its only $6 and doesnt have that carb bullshit on it. Just a straight up thick plastic gas jug and pour spout. |

I bought an original USMC 5 gallon jerry can on eBay. It cost $60 including shipping. I also bought 2 of those "NATO" 10 liter cans that look like miniature jerry cans. They came with lock-on spouts, and cost $49.95 delivered.
Very happy with all of them. |

Do you need the square kind?
I like the safety cans for work, the ones with the snap on funnel and the spring top lid. They are rugged, easy to use, and you won't get shit for having on in your truck.

I have 8 jerry cans and have zero use for any type of spout adapter.
Get a Super Siphon or two. Why hold up a 5 gallon can while it drains? Give the super siphon a few shakes, walk away and come back to an empty can. |

Super Syphon is the way to go.
