New Gas can - rehash

I know , it is buried in the forum somewhere, but to lazy to look!

I really tried to use the new anti-venting nozzles for gas cans. Just a bad idea or poor design.
Poor flow control, gas leaking past air valve onto fingers and equipment, and just hard to use. I converted cans to old fashion nozzle with an air vent.
Filling a generator at 2 am from a 5 gal during a thunder storm with gas dripping on my hand and 'air burps' causing over flows in the generator fill was just too much BS for such a stupid law. Give me old fashion stainless cans with real gaskets and true safety standards.
I tried 5 spouts and all worked well. The plastic cans will still need to be vented in hot weather but that has always been true.

Last estate sale I was at, I snarfed up a couple of lots of old gas cans...without the modern nozzles.
I think I got 6 of them for $7.50. A couple of metal ones, a few plastic ones, and a 5-gallon jerry can.

I spill more with the new safety cans than I ever did with the old simple cans. I have switched to SureCans. They are nice, but they are expensive.

VP race fuel can. Generic ones are less $$ but I've had the top leak. They even have orange.

I like my 2 1/2 gal size.
