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.


Hint: the only difference between a gasoline jug and a water jug is the
color. Buy water jugs which still have conventional spouts and use them
for gasoline. Spray paint them red if it makes you feel better about it.
Or just get extra water caps and spouts and change them out for the fuel
spouts.


First of all it shouldn't be glass (which is what I think of when you
call it a jug). Second the color isn't the only difference. Gasoline
cans should have spark arresters IIRC. And one good reason for having
red ones is that you can never again use it for anything else.
