I had one of those on my boat for the outboard, a 2 1/2 gallon. When I was
preparing to leave my boat in Mazatlan for this summer, I emptied the can
into a cruiser's truck gas tank. I didn't want to leave a full can on the
boat. The press-to-fit fitting on the end of the filler tube wouldn't
trigger in the truck's fill pipe so I had to hold it back by hand. What a
mess! I wound up spilling about a gallon of the 2 1/2 gallons on the ground.
There was no other way to do it. 'Spill Proof' is really 'Spill Guaranteed'!
This can had been purchased in California. It's easy to see where to word
'Californicate' came from.

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.
