I have given the correct information for anyone who wishes to buy a
vented fuel jug.

I will continue to use what I have and will buy them where I got the
ones I have, the unvented ones. They sell them at the closest parts
house. I heard right on this group that there are some unsatisfactory
vented ones out there, and you, or anyone else. are welcome to
recommend them if you wish. We do have vented cans, from WalMart, for
the gas for the lawn mower. No problems of the kind reported by one
poster.

I notice your personal web site is just chock full of pictures of you and your
sprint car

I have no website. I simply have little interest. Maybe one would come
in handy at times, but it always seemed more trouble than It is worth.

I guess it's only natural that someone who constantly mentions "his
sprint car" at every opportunity, all over usenet,

How do you figure? That is simply a lie. I go whole months without
even thinking of the cars.

would have pages and pages of photos of this magnificent vehicle.

Why bother? It's just an ordinary sprinter. Throughly obsolete at this
point.

Wouldn't do anything for me if I did have the pix. I lost interest in
racing it more than a decade ago. Why do you care enough about my car
to carry on about it? A lack of interest I could understand, but I
only made a casual reference in passing. I was trying to discuss fuel
jugs.

As for fuel, I would like to know how to refuel my boat from a can.
The fill openings are on the outside of the boat, below the gunnels,
and very hard to reach from inside the boat.. You need a small crane
to support the jug. Fortunately, I mostly fill it at the gas station,
while the boat is on the trailer. As it is, I guess I could use a
strange and very long funnel.
