Default Spill-proof gas cans

The world of car and motorcycle racing uses vented "fast fill" plastic jugs.

Never saw any vented cans, at the sprint car races, just five gallon
square or round ones with a big opening. They sell them at the closest
auto parts store, which is not a racing shop. They don't need a vent.
The fill rate is determined by the pump on the methanol truck. They
empty fast enough. Of course most sprint car races are four miles
long, occasionally ten, and there is no such thing as a pit stop. That
is why they call them sprint cars.
