NO MORE SAFETY CANS

[dennishoddy]

Probably have a dozen of the red plastic gas gans from 1 gal, 2.5 gal and 5 gal. Never paid for one. I find them in the ditches after people put them in the back of their truck and drive 70mph down the highway when they are empty. Most of the nozzles are broken, but Attwoods has the good replacements.

Some may have seen these in the stores. Northern Tool has them. It's plastic but very thick and high quality.
It may seen like a gimmick but I purchase 4 of them for my boat and for that purpose they were great.
The spout rotates and flexes and there is no spill. Any pressure change does not expand and contract the can which leads to a leaky can over time. We sleep on the boat and can't afford a leak. Plus metal on fiberglass is bad. You do need a place or surface to rest the can on for best results.

I have a 5 gal safety can that I dread using. I basically have to fight it in to submission every time I have to fill up my mower.

I sold both of mine. Used to have them in a service truck. Not in a truck anymore so adiose.

Got this little kit on Amazon for around $10. Comes with 3 nozzles and vents. And the drill bit.

I’ve probably spilled gallons of gas with safety cans. Hate the nozzle designs on them.

This should work nicely now.

I’m also going to get one of these just because. I’ve only got one safety spout and it’s on a diesel can, but what a pain in the keister.

I added the little snap in vent adapters to several 5 gal cans several years ago and those work like a charm. I’ve got 6-8 five gal cans that are pretty old and will need to be replaced soon. I might as well have the replacement spouts on hand when I do.

Thanks for posting.
