I know that the newfangled gas can contraptions are supposed to be safer and reduce spillage and prevent fire dangers... Am I the only one that can't use these without spilling gas all over everything? Even when they work, and you manage to get some gas out of the can, you can count on a few cups leaking all over everything beneath the spout. Tell me how much safer those are.

Does anybody know if TSC sells any replacement spouts? The link I posted was to the high-flow ones. I use those on my diesel cans. They empty the gas can quick.. that way I don't have to hold a gurgling can chest high while it trickles a small stream out for 15 minutes.

I actually can use the new ones and rarely ever spill any.
Doesn't mean I like the contraptions.

Another vote for the 5 gallon race jugs. Nice jugs!

I have old one but use one of the new ones for the weed eater. I just take the nozzle off when I fill the trimmer and don't care if I spill some gas. Liberals can screw up anything and gas cans prove it!

Garage\Estate sales. People here just put unwanted stuff out on the curb. Might find one anytime. One time I found a huge glass jar of water with all these tea-bags in it. Just sittin' in sun. I don't know why..It was really good tea.

Does someone have a source of supply for a couple of 5 gallon cans that don't require 82 trick moves and kissing the Pope's ring to get gas out of?
Thanks Buy one of the goofy ones, modify it to be a normal can and be done with it. I feel your pain man. Idiots who upturn a can of gas over an open flame and the sue the can maker like it's their fault! Soon we won't be able to buy a gas can anymore.

Lots of 5 gallon cans here. Anyone have a link to something around 2.5 gallons? We find them easier to transport in rough terrain. My plastics are starting to get tired.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Get the race Jugs while you can. Still holding 5 old jeep 5 gal cans and love them. EPA will probably ban those soon.

We have one 5 gal. round top metal kerosene (blue) can with an old style pour nozzle that's still in good, usable shape. I bought that thing new back around 1988-1990.
What few old style commercial metal gas cans I've seen at yard sales, resale shops and auctions haven't been used in so long there's rarely ever even a hint of any type of fuel odor with the cap off and haven't looked very trust worthy to me as far as rust build up inside and possible leaky seams.

I bought some nato style ones off cheaper than dirt before they became price gougers or before I noticed they were gouging folks. They work really well. I think both cans and a filler were like $70. They were steel as was the filler spout and the spout had a vent. Have bounced around the desert on the back of my jeep for 4-5 seasons now without spilling a drop.
Deserve's got nuthin to do with it- Willam H Munny

We just use empty 5 gallon hydraulic oil buckets.
They don't tip over, you can empty them quickly and gas thieves usually aren't smart enough to take them out of the back of the pickup.
And they are free.
