Gas Can Modifications. Adding a Vent, and Making the Spout Easier to Use. 

Politicians who have never used a gas can deciding how gas cans must be made.

You can go to rural king and purchase the kit with the air intake plus a real free flowing spout. I did this with all my gas cans.

Learn two things from you. 1) Get rid of the spring 2) Add Vent Thanks.

i have that Mid West gas can and i can tell you it's horrible..just try and put 4 gallons of gas in that thing then depress the little button and keep it depressed while trying to hold it steady with one hand as your pouring gas into your lawn mower or snow blower..sounds easy, NOPE,it takes quite a bit of force to keep that spring depressed,gas goes all over the place..mine also has a plastic filter inside the can which makes gas spray out when filling it up..horrible design!

Another example of fixing something that isn't broken. Why didn't they just leave gas canisters alone?

Another guy I watched used a half inch bit cause the one recommended was too tight. Warming was a good idea.

They did this to make Electric vehicles more acceptable.

Thanks problem solved bobs yr uncle.

You need three people to operate these idiotic new spouts. It is much simpler to get a funnel that will stay in place and remove the spout and pour into the funnel.

Why didn’t you use the flat spot on the handle that is intended for the placement of a vent? Its position is perfect, high on the can and it is completely flat. I really don’t understand why you used another location. Also, for about $10 on sale, which they run frequently, Harbor Freight sells a 29-piece drill bit set that includes a 31/64th bit and a 15/32nds bit as well as 26 other sizes plus a sturdy case. These bits are not adequate for drilling metals but work just fine on wood and plastic, Check it out. Finally, the easiest way to dispense gas from one of these 5 gallon containers when filled to capacity, is to buy a cheap siphon pump (on sale for less than $5 on eBay) set the gas container on top of a trash can (if you want to dispense gas into a car) and siphon most of the gas out. Then, when the container is lighter, you can more easily dispense the remaining gas in the container using the modified spout. Good luck!😊

How do you take apart the yellow and the green style spout? That's why I came to this video and I cannot find anything on taking them apart.

I totally ignore those stupid nozzles and fume screen and use a battery powered transfer pump. No heavylifting either

The seam you see is from the mold in which the can was formed (rotomolded). It isn’t where two halves were joined. The only problem you might have drilling on the seam is it’s not perfectly flat so could potentially create a leak.

Yes, these new gas cans are HORRIBLE. The theory is that this prevents fumes, but you ALWAYS spill a lot of gas with the funk press + valve stems.

Excellent

my OCD kicked in when you didn't rinse out the can of shavings after the drilling. I would put a lil gas in, swish it all around and pour it out (in my neighbour's yard when they aren't home). I'd like to know how to remove that godam "flame arrestor" that's inside the can under the opening. that thing makes me nuts at the petrol station when filling it. These nanny-state gas cans are insufferable.
