I had to buy 3 of the new style gas cans that don't have the vent hole. What conversion kit do you guys use? I saw EZ Pour 10050 Replacement Spout Kit on Amazon. Is that what I need? Thanks

Save your money
Just gut the springs and flappy thing out of the existing spout
I took a needle nose set of pliers and went to work on them

No vent hole, but I REALLY like these for the money. They are well made and the funnel can be used attached for lawn mower and other power tools. You must remove it to pour gas into a vehicle. But they work very well. Lowes building supply is the only place I've found them locally. I bought the 1st one there and liked it well enough to order 2 more from Amazon. Picked up another for $10 at an estate sale. https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-UI-50-...92&sr=8-2&keywords=eagle+gas+canThere is no funky safety device, just a spring loaded cap that is easily held open by the handle when in use.

I drilled some out and made a vent hole...bought some little thingmajiggers that pop in and have a cap. Some cans they work great, but others they cause too much flow through the nonsense and don't very well. The NO SPILL gas cans work good, but they're not giving those away. Trump should mandate all gas cans go back to the simple variety and I'm sure he'd even swing some libtards over. Go the extra mile and get rid of all ethanol gas while he's at it. The masses would cheer. You can ad your own vents with things like these, but like I said, has mixed results depending on the can. https://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Blitz...p;sr=8-20&keywords=gas+can+vent+caps

I gut them[as above], then drill/tap a small hole on upper at back and use a drywall screw there.

Try these, available on this site or others. I bought a set of 4 20 L (5 gal) , and also 2 10L (2.5 gal) , and 2 5L (1 gal) ones along with spouts and gaskets and couldn't be happier. Likely I'll never have to buy another gas can.............especially cheap s**t plastic ones. https://deutscheoptik.com/5-liter-jerry-can.htmlGood luck, Geno

I just pour gasoline all over myself with those safety things. I was looking for some way to sabotage the mess. I also found out they will not pour into a car, despite their claims. I did find a good gas can at a estate sale, complete with some old gasoline, so bought it, the spouts seem the same.
I was really disappointed with Trump when he supported E15. I do not have anything that will run on it,

The new spill proof cans spill a lot more gas than the old ones did. What a sick joke they are.

Use a valve stem with the valve removed for the vent.

I use tire valve stems and caps for vents Gas eats them pretty quick. The above post gas can vents are actually cheaper and purpose built. I found a couple of the old style spouts on a dusty shelf in a local Ace hardware.

I mainly use VP racing fuel jugs, you can get 6 gallons in them.

In my best James Bond voice. "Gas is siphoned, not poured." I bought a couple of these little siphon shaker hoses and will never try to pour gas again. Place gas can above your entry point, shake until you see gas coming out. Then you can walk away. On some vehicles with a hinge flap in the gas tank I slipped on about a 1 foot piece of flex conduit over the plastic hose part. It keeps the spring flap from trapping your hose. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shaker-Siphon/16915713

They were great. These look like they should do as well.

If you want a slower pour like for a weed eater, just get one of their regular spout kits. Their website has an application chart for the plastic and metal cans going back years. I love them and feel like I'm flipping the "bird" at the Nanny State every time I make a good can out of one of their crappy ones. I needed a few extra cans for my generator as well as lawn equipment. That's why I hit the estate sales and started buying the older pyramid style cans the idiots in DC forced the industry to stop making. These kits make it all possible.
