...and the new ones, too. EZ-Pour Replacement Spout and Vent Kit ![[Linked Image]](http://i.ebayimg.com/t/EZ-Pour-Replacement-Spout-Kit-Prevents-Costly-Messy-Spills-/00/s/MzAwWDE1MQ==/$T2eC16N,!yEE9s5jE,jcBQ04Fw2WIQ~~60_35.JPG) This comes with 2 caps that will fit a bunch of different cans. It also inclues a couple replacement vents. One of the caps fits many popular LATE MODEL cans with those crap EPA monstrosities. If you replace one of those, one of the vent caps will work if you drill a hole in the can and just pop it in. I bought a kit locally for $10.50. I see them online for a little less but you have to pay shipping so it's a wash pricewise. You're welcome.

Since it will replace the EPA approved spouts, I wonder how long it will be on the market. You KNOW the feds will be trying to shut them down in short order.

Web site said this is replacment part for pre 2009 cans. Of course they fit the new cans just fine it seems. So we may be safe from a shut down by the feds. Ace stores, Fleet farm, tractor supply are some of the stores that are supposed to carry them.

You just made my day! The first time my FIL saw one of the new type cans, he said "Those things must have been invented by an engineer that gets paid by the hour, not by the job!" This from a retired nuclear power plant design engineer.  Ed

I need to grab a few of these. I have seven or eight of the red gas cans with those dumbassed safety spouts on them, laying around not getting used. I gave up on the pieces of shyte, and started using the racing gas cans. Much better!! These spouts will get my old gas fans back in rotation.

A friend of mine uses tire valves for vets, drill hole - pull valve through hole - remove core and replace cap.

Sweet! I've got about 7-8 plastic gas cans and at least half of them can't be used due to broken spouts. This'll get me back in business.

I've had about half a mind to buy some sheet metal and make myself up a couple of fuel cans...
Paint them red, is there any reason I couldn't use them?

Since it will replace the EPA approved spouts, I wonder how long it will be on the market. You KNOW the feds will be trying to shut them down in short order. The new "EPA approved" spouts are proof that the Feds don't care one whit about the environment or the health of people. I've never seen fueling contraptions which made more of a mess. With the old stuff you had to be careful; with the new, being careful isn't good enough, you also have to be very coordinated. Having young, strong, pain-free hands would probably be useful as well. Even so, the new ones just about guarantee that fuel will be spilled/spattered, sprayed. (And, do they realize that spouts which stick up are much more prone to getting broken/knocked off that are those which can be stuck inside the container?)

I'm not sure the brand or where but I picked up a set of two from Canada through either eBay or Amazon last Summer on a similar quest. That fixed a couple 5 gallon cans to go with my other 6 or 8 cans varying from 1 gallon incrementally to about three 5 gallon gas cans plus a couple for kerosene.  Will not be needing any of those PIA monstrosities anytime soon. A friend of mine has one of the new ones and it takes the 2 of us to work it!

I have several of the old Eagle metal cans in 1, 2-1/2 and 5 gallon size. From way back in the 70's when I played in NW logging. And I bought a bunch of spare caps and spouts back then, best thing I ever did was to keep the cans. That little push button vent in the cap is one of man's best inventions.
Plastic gas cans are a poor excuse.
I don't spill a drop with the old Eagle cans, can't say this about the plastic cans.

Not to mention - I was wrestling a can around 1 morning, when it had been in the sun for about an hour after I filled it, and managed to push the spout down far enough to give myself an instantaneous (and impromptu) gas bath!
Better for the environment my RRA!
