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.
Yeah exactly. Private Industry is changing the threads and sizes etc to force public to buy a newer design they rip you off with. The rule is same. The more expensive smaller push button type work well for chainsaws and even mowers but they are NOT 5 gallons. The whole reason it ever happened was to reduce fuel fumes in garages and in areas where not so smart people have open flames in water heaters etc. houses blow up but oh well silly is silly does.
Just remember the people constantly changing the red gas cans are the private companies that want you to constantly need newer types.
Barnacles has great advice as well as one can buy and modify your cans. There are aftermarket spouts that will still reduce fumes and work better.
