do new sealed gas cans keep regular pump gas mix longer

[sean donato]

I use e free gas but have been hung with ethanol gas more than once.I have found that if the ethanol and water have joined and you remove it the remaing gas with out the ethanol is next to use less as a fuel.
During my life as a fishing resort operator trapper cut skid etc the most use less gas can on the earth is the 4. something gallon Jerry can.It is tippy has no air vent a gigantic hole to pour gas out of all around a poor design but it looks and works well for hanging on the back of a jeep
My dad told me that during the early 1960s they were cutting the right of way for the hydro high line and they had to burn the limbs brush etc.He said that on a frosty -30 f January morning in almost darkness Porky was poking up the coals on the fire he grabbed the Jerry can with gasoline in it and splashed some on the coals and made a little gas trail back about 10 feet he was still pouring with two hands on the Jery can when the flame started at the fire and instantly burned down the back trail shot up to the can and the sh//t hit the can.
My dad said it blew only the bottom back end of the can out but he said it was a solid 150 feet of flame.Porky was totaly stunned and suffered only from a few flames on his leather mitts but he learned not to use gas on a fire.
Porkys new nick name was Porky the pig with nine lives.

Let's see an example of the mystery can. Real nato jerry cans come in standard sizes. Non of then are 4 something gallons. They have a venting method through the spout. They do not vent unless the cap is opened, and gysering can happen if you don't open them correctly and pressure has built up inside of them. This is normal and really only an issue if you over fill the can.

See the red thingy on the gas can nozzle?
It fell off the can when I poured the fuel into the tank & I had to remove the starring wheel, tractor hood, to remove the tank.
My tractor is a diesel with yellow can, so the plastic would break down & clog up everything.
I did the repairs, because the shop wanted $175.00 to haul it in & $175.00 to haul it back, also $90.00 an hour, so at least $700.00 total. So on the next can I will be removing the red thingy.

Our resort opened in 1947 the jerry cans were brought up to Canada by our USA fisherman many of whom had served in WW2 the Korean war and Vietnam.
May God bless their souls.
The cans were standard army issue top heavy narrow tippy with a wide mouth and no air vents
a few had flexible metal pipe spouts but were use less with out the air vent.
USA gallon 128 ozs
Canadian gallon 160 ozs
Jerry can is 5 USA gallons=128x5=640 ozs which works out to 4 Canadian gallons in a Jerry can.

Yeah, those are the blitz style with the thread in nozzles. They suck. Hence why i have the nato version.
