hello, any one else find the new gas cans hard to use?
I have been replacing mine with the "
no spill" has cans they ate east to use and really are no spill. you just push the button and when you want it to stop take your thumb off and it stops. highly recommend them. however they are pricy but they are really nice and easy to use.

There is aftermarket parts for them that will make newer can like the older ones. Tube cap vent etc.
The new gas cans were cleverly designed to be both highly frustrating and an extreme fire hazard. Any difficulty you experience is in keeping with government policy.

I doubt everyone buys the GOOD ones like you posted. You’re right though that type are very nice to work with. Professional tree arborist use that type. I will figure the complaints are for the cheaper modern types that you have to catch the edge of the nozzle on a dirt bike tank or lawn mower etc to open the spring loaded valve.
I have been figuring the different type cans that keep coming out are more about the can vendors trying to make new designs constantly more than it is any laws changing.
Calif. won't allow the good ones.

why doesn't that surprise me, they don't want anyone used gas so guess banning gas cans is the next step.
Yes sir they are a pain in the rear.I have an old one and look for the old style and look for them when I go to garage sales

I replaced the spout with old fashioned ones that I found at tractor supply.

Never going to happen. The cops even need gas cans.

So you just need a buddy to send Amazon order to that can forward it to you.
wow! thanks,seems to me that the manufacturers are constantly changing threads and one has a hard time sealing other spouts to your can.
like a light bulb the threads should be small, or medium, or large...that's it!. any small would fit a small!
it's gas, for god sake.
but of course... we have been wrong before.
