Tear it apart. Rig/disable the button.
Pop a vent line in the tank and place check valve. Cap with rubber cap.

Careful, the threads for the can are fine so easily cross threaded and leaks.

Other than these things it holds gas as stated. POS

If you did all this to a No-Spill like in the OP, no wonder you don't like it. Try one for filling saws as it was designed.
 
Needed a 2nd 50:1 can for in the field.
Guy at Lowe's said everyone loves these new fangled no leak spouts.
Any experience ?View attachment 1227007View attachment 1227007
They work great for small engines. No good for vehicles.
I use them for unmixed gas exclusively. Having a unique can just for unmixed fuel greatly reduces the chance of straight gassing a 2 stroke. And now my wife no longer pours mix into the lawnmower.

Works great for filling small tanks.
The plastic "can" is tough, too - I accidentally drove my tractor over the back of it and while gas did come out around the seal, the tank didn't crack and bounced mostly back into shape.
 
this particular nozzle sucks, I have one. the diameter is too small, and they take forever to pour out 5 gallons into my boat or zero turn. ok to fill a chainsaw though.

Those are for old school 2.5-gal metal cans, WITH A SEPARATE VENT. They flow plenty fast with a vent.

You want fast, get an original not chi-com, GI Jerry can.
 
Husquvarna combican for me all the was. The older rounded corners type has lasted me well, recently bought a new updated combi can either a few advantages over the old one but looks like husqvarna done their research and it does work well.
 
The 5 gallon jug has the rear handle which makes holding while pouring a breeze. The smaller jugs suck.
I also added a metal valve stem so I can discharge 5 gallons quick into a tractor, or put the valve cover back on and do a controlled pour into my weedwacker. This is the way.

I like when polyethylene "cans" crack all to hell because you let them see sunlight for an hour too long, then dump gas everywhere. Almost as good as when squirrels eat them in the barn, dumping gas everywhere. F$ck plastic cans.

You can tell its a quality well-conceived and engineered product when the fancy spill-proof safety valve has its own tethered cap on the end of the spout which has to be manually removed for use and replaced afterwards :angry:

But I suppose why not, we're already fooling around finding the right angle to hold everything so you squeeze/press/whatever the valve and comfortably hold it open long enough to fill something & see when to stop, so whats an extra cap or two to play with in the scope of things... maybe version 2 will come with its own bluetooth app to make the user experience better :D
