They're a substantial source of air polution. Really. Spilling an
ounce of gasoline while filling your lawnmower generates as much
unburned hydrocarbons as burning the fuel in the tank mowing the lawn.
Unburned hydrocarbons are a major contributor to smog.

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.

Do agoogle search for

"plastic fuel jugs"

include the quote marks. You'll find a ton of VENTED fuel jugs as
described. You will NOT find these at any regular auto parts store as
they are illegal for general use. They are racing specific, and I
promise you they are vented.

Wrong on both counts. They came from a regular general purpose parts
store. and they are unvented. They have a real big opening and don't
need a vent to empty fast. The closest vendor of gas to where I live.
has racing gas, for about five bucks a gallon. There are lots of
racers around these parts.

Happens I have the sprint car and the unvented jugs. Close to five
gallons burned in a four mile race. Its a rolling start, [there is no
clutch], and that uses extra fuel.

REPLACEMENT vents for when yours won't snap closed any longer.

What are you talking about. I have the unvented jugs in my possession.
Look at a picture of something else? Whatever for? You are the
loadmouth who knows little, not me. One more time: I own some
unvented jugs. From a general auto store, not a racing specialist. We
do have those as well.

ONE LAST TIME. I POSSESS UNVENTED FUEL JUGS. PARDON ME, BUT I DON'T
BELIEVE A THING YOU SAY.

I like the spill-proof gas cans. I fill my inflatable outboard (internal
gas tank) when it runs out of fuel--pitching up and down in mid-bay or
channel. The spout fits right in the tank and I don't spill a drop even tho
the boat is bouncing up and down, etc.

You have to see this modern mess to believe it.

The "spill Proof" safety gas can.

No vent! So it's safe!

Actually, it vents through the spout.

S L O W L Y, as you might expect.

I went looking to buy a gas can and this is all I can find locally.
