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.

I could find nothing else in a plastic can.

Not a single store with a proper vented plastic gas can!!!

So I bought one and cut the end off of the spout, removing the
"press to mess" valve.

It works now - sorta - but is still very slow.

I think a blue or green can - with a vent! - may be in order...
