What about these gas can spouts❓

Just bought one of these "utility" jugs. I'm impressed, solid quality, made in USA, and surprisingly cheap. Comes with a spout, vent, looks like a viton O-ring seal. Still prefer my NATO cans but these are more commonly available and cheaper. Not a bad option.

My favorite part is the single one-star review saying "not for fuel use." Gave me a chuckle, utter and complete imbecile.

Those utility jugs are not for transport of fuel. I know of racers being fined for transporting fuel to the track in them.

I love it how the land of the free has such strict control over a gas can.

I like those jugs. They come in white, yellow blue and red.
I wish they would have engineered the lower hand hold better.

edit:
I think I may get muh wife to stitch up some kinda mesh or nylon strap and velcro sock or halter with a loop handle at the bottom.

So much all of this. Also, I'm 5' tall, which means any of the "have to hold a tab down" cans are totally unusable for me if I'm trying to fill anything off the ground. Unless I want a gas bath.

In that size range I like Trangia fuel bottles. Best spout design, really easy to pour from.

So - you just back off the cap, and it pours like a civilized child? Damn, I think I'm in love. I'm getting really tired of gas showers.

Back off the lock nut on top of the cap, then it pours when you press the cap down, opening a plunger.

Give it a little burp with both nozzles pointed away from you, to your left and right, or you might get a fuel shower after all.

I've been using that design for a LONG time now.

You don't even need to pay attention. It's designed sort of like a gas nozzle at the gas station. You insert nozzle into the tank, hold the button, and since the vent hole is in the nozzle, once the gas level reaches the fill nozzle, the vent is closed and the fuel stops flowing. Let go of the button and remove the nozzle. Done.

Longevity has been great. I've not had one fail yet. I have 4 or 5 of them now. Useless for filling vehicles or large tanks, but anything small engine they're best thing since sliced bread.

Good to hear, I bought a 5gal and a 2.5gal for my son for Christmas. His cans have rags for covers so anything will be an improvement.

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. 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.

Don't sugar-coat your response. Tell us how you really feel...

Really? 20 years ago we hauled gas, alky, and nitro to the track those jugs. Thr old Chaparell goose sides worked just pefect for them. Wow, what's next? And SFI for fuel jugs, glad I quit.

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

This is the style my wife bought when she brought two of the 5g home full with the leaking valve assy. In addition to leaking it was a major PITB to get the threaded ring to engage and down to seal the top - by hand. So yesterday after I removed the leaky valve and emptied the jug I inspected the rim on the jug. There is excess plastic around most of the rim which I could probably call a 'flashing' from the injection molding. Using a sharp pocket knife I trimmed this excess away. Not only did the threaded ring easily engage the threads on the jug without going crooked, at easily screwed all the way down for the O-Ring for a non-leaking seal to the jug with very little cinching twist.

I still don't like not having a flex spout but both of these jugs seal better than my other jugs now. I doubt many people will spend the time to do this....

I like these no spill cans, for both gas and diesel.

Had the old spring loaded one you turn, hated that one with a passion.
When it broke, was better than when new
