What about these gas can spouts❓

[lone wolf]

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

Best I ever used!

Genuine military surplus NATO cans are the best I've found for bulk storage. Lots of garbage copies out there, beware when buying.

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

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

servo motor cap opener.

I have 1 NATO can and they really dump fuel nicely. being on the florida gulf coast I have a dozen or so 5-gallon cans and a few 2.5's to get thru hurricanes where you can't get fuel afterwards for days to weeks.

I love them. For the larger cans where you are likely to dump an entire can drill two holes in the plastic ears to accept a 16d nail, it saves on the thumbs. Otherwise it allows getting the cans up in place and minimal or 0 spillage. I don’t care what anyone says. Its a good design.

I have the 5 liter no spill can i really like it for filling saws. The auto stop when full dont work anymore. Had it over 10 years now.

F3ck that monstrosity, f3ck it to the grave and beyond. Your Lowes guy will be the 2nd against the wall when then gas-can wars begin, just behind the designers of that spout. Spouts need to be a tube, with a cap, that you remove when you want to pour, with a vent on the tank that you open beforehand, if you want to. After pouring, close them both. Its not hard.

I found an E0 station on the way to the daughter's school- got her to buy 2 6 gal cans and fill them up there on the way home, which she did because she's that cool. My keyboard doesn't have enough graphic characters to describe how much I despise the nozzles on those Lowe's purchased gas cans. If I used the ones available my post would look like 80's vintage 300 baud BBS line noise.

It's just a gas can spout.

I haven't found any of the new spouts that work worth a darn. I replaced all of mine with regular spouts I got at Tractor Supply.

Guess you don't like them.

Well you know you've invested way too much energy in a thread about gas cans when facebook starts showing ads for replacement nozzles...

If only your disdain for Fakebook matched your disdain for a gas can

Bought my first No-Spill can about 10 years ago and I love it ! I now own about 5 No-Spill cans and ain’t interested in any other brands. I used to work at a place where some of the workers had a hard time installing the cap so it wouldn’t leak so it became mostly my job when the cans needed filling.
Yes the 5 gallon cans take quite a while to empty but most things I fill with them are fairly easy to hold the can in the correct position.
I have recommended the No-Spill cans to quite a few other folks and they usually come back and tell me other than the high price they are very well satisfied.

Oh the facebook disdain far exceeds the gas can dislike. On that cesspool because there are a few folks from the old days I like to keep up with. I generally last about a minute on it before the nausea sets in and I go elsewhere. OTOH I can spin up about gas cans for a long time before tiring out

I will say there is a plus to all this silliness; I discovered the sites which sell replacement gas can nozzles, including vents that can be installed where needed. I have a few orphaned gas cans sitting unused because I threw out the stupid nozzles after the absurdity became too great to endure- now I'll be able to use them again
