I use one of the VP off road cans for large capacity stuff.

The No Spill is the one I bought recently. It works great. I don’t know how durable it will be over the long term. I had used the farm store nozzles to convert a few cans but will prob just go with the No Spill again next time.

I bought a pk of yellow vents on eBay and installed them in the epa compliant cans I had. No problem pouring now.

I use wheel valve stems for vents on my plastic gas cans. I'm always looking for gas cans at garage and estate sales. I have about 20, but always look for better ones.

I buy 5 gal cans at auctions and yard sales for a couple of bucks a piece. Some have nozzles some don’t. Old school nozzles are much better than the “new ones” made today. $15 a nozzle for a $5 can ticks me off but I guess it’s still cheaper than paying $25-$35 for a “new gas can” at any store.

I'm apparently really hard on these spill compliant cans. I bought a No-Spill for filling the mower this summer. I believed Jill about the automatic stop and promptly overflowed the tank on the first fill. Then a month later the nozzle started leaking out of the green button. The Scepter I had before made it a year before the nozzle wouldn't seal after using it.

Have to go to some trouble to get non-ethanol gas here, so use a number of different cans to haul it. I like the VP cans a lot, and have a few older 5gal simple cap/pour cans that are good. BUT - a few have assorted guv reg "safety" features and they are abominable. I have defeated most of those with aftermarket caps/spouts.

On that note..
Doe anyone sell classic gas can nozzles so you can throw that flimsy plastic epa compliant trash in the garbage where it belongs??


Yes they do. I convert every gas can that I buy. Fahq Kommiefornia and their rules. I have only one can that I kept intact that I use for 2-cycle mix only, and that one is only in it's originalfactory form because I can open and close the schnozzle with my thumb.

These are the best you will find and still be "compliant." They're really kinda handy, albeit slower than the old school.


Just discovered these on Amazon and may have to give them a try!

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Get mad every time I have to buy a new can for $20, and then have to spend almost as much to get a workable nozzle to replace the EPA compliant junk that came with the can. I have one 5 gallon plastic fuel jug that is 30 years old. Heavy plastic. Direct flow nozzle. No gimmicks. Shows no sign of giving up. Better than any five jugs on the shelf today. Wish I had bought a truck load of them...

On one older plastic can with a self-venting nozzle, I just used an awl to punch a hole in the top to vent. I stick a golf tee in the hole to seal it.

The newest can nozzles are indeed worthless. I bought one for my boat with a push button that's so strong I almost need a C-clamp to hold the damn thing down. A three-pack of Amazon replacements got ordered immediately.

last year I bought two can at Canadian tire with normal spouts and vents. This year when I go back for another hunt I am going to buy about 8 more..

I find plenty of older gas cans along back roads and intersections where either Dillon, Chad or Kyle feels the need to “git on it” at every stop sign.

Also pick up one or 4 occasionally at yard sales.
