This gas can fiasco is proof of the incompetence of the left.
I bet you MORE gas got spilled with this new POS that over years and years of regular gas cans.
With these new useless cans we definitely would not have won WW2. (21 million were manufactured)
I’m a refugee from Commisfornia, the effed up gas, cans go back decades.
You can always make a vent. It never was an issue.
It’s not just the vent, it’s the retarded CARB “safety” spout. The “C” actually stands for California, the parent of this abortion. I’m sure the “R” is for RETARD.
I was fortunate enough to have had saved all my older gas cans with the non-retarded spouts.
And you and I treated ’em like GOLD, too.
Yes sir!
That stupid rule made a lot of money for the companies who manufactured new spouts and vents to install on those worthless cuntainers. I bought at least three sets and know of others who purchased the adapters and they work flawlessly.
These stupid cans are easy to fix. Put a funnel in your gas tank, pull spout out of the can, pour into funnel.
Advice needed Phil! I bought a half dozen old, rusty jerry cans from a kid who salvages old barns. The rust isn’t that deep, the metal is sound, but I need to know how to clean them up, particularly the insides. What would you recommend for a treatment?
I’ve been able to get new rubber gaskets online, and I found several new metal pour spouts at a mil-surplus store. Cleaned up and painted, these will be good for decades to come.
On motorcycle groups there are frequent discussions about motorcycles that have been sitting too long with old gas and tanks that are therefore rusted and need to be cleaned up. Try vtxoa.com
A lot of guys use vinegar in bike tanks to get rid of rust, then baking soda to neutralize the acetic acid. Never tried it so I have no experience with it.
I have used Evaporust on rusted metal and it works awesome. You do however have to remove the heavy scale and keep the afflicted areas submerged in the solution. Phil has a large barrel of the stuff in his garage – if he can find it….. 🙂
I used to put a section of 3/8 chain in motorcycle gas tanks with some auto transmission fluid. The it would be rotated in various directions for a half hour, rinse and repeat until there is no rust in the fluid. This would brake any surface scale rust loose. Final rinse with 99% alcohol, blow dry, and then treat it with Kreem Tank sealant.
Don’t frget that the stoopid 2.5 GPM flow restrictors (Which I ALWAYS removed !) in showerheads and the like are also “eased on down the road”.
Yes. This. And the husband removes the shower head flow restrictors at every hotel we stay in. We bad, but fuck them. We need a decent shower.
I do too! You should see the crap that flows out when you put the faucet or shower head together and run the water! That restrictor inhibits crap in the line to get out too.
For Diesel Fuel, I use the Mil-Spec “Scepter” Brand 5-Gal./20-Liter Cans. They are thick, Roto-Molded Polyethylene, Won’t Rust or Dent, Seal Tightly, and with the correct (Vented) Nozzle, Empty in about 30 Seconds. Made in Canada, sometimes can be found Surplus, but still Expensive.
For Gasoline, I use NFPA Type II ‘Safety Cans’. 1, 2.5, 5-Gallon Sizes, Integral Flexible Steel Nozzle, Lever Valve that controls Flow and Venting, automatic sealing when let go of. The have Screened Openings, won’t Melt in a Fire, just sit there and Flare the Vapor. Because they are Required in certain Industrial Environments, I doubt that they are “illegal” in Komiefornistan.
