[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll concede the point re: gasoline cans, but otherwise that article was completely asinine.[/quote]

Honestly, if you can't figure out how to use the new gas cans, you should not be allowed near a lawnmower, or any sharp blade.   They are not that complicated.[/quote]

No, they’re absurdly OVERcomplicated. Nozzles. Vent tubes. O-rings. Springs. Valves.  And even when used properly, they still spill gas all over the place. Until they get broken, which happens about the fourth or fifth time you use them. Then you end up taking the spout off altogether and using a big funnel instead. Then you buy a retrofit kit off Amazon, and convert the gas can back to the vented style from the 80’s that never spilled any gas when you poured it.

The nozzles were designed that way because of a govt mandate to capture vapors during pouring gas. But spilling gas, which they invariably always do, releases far more vapor than the nozzle would’ve recovered if it were working properly. Which they almost always fail to do. [/quote]
