Like a previous responder noted natural rubber valve stems are Not Compatible with gasoline and over will fail.

I did about 6 of these cans like this about 5 years ago, when another you tube channel did this very very valve stem hack. Easy to do, but the gas fumes softens the material and will go bad. Some have a metal fastener that attaches it which exposes less of the soft material and have held up better. That’s the only ones I’d consider.

@backyardbuck6362 5 месяцев назад

Hi there ,I was wondering how long the valve stems held up for?

@johnlile7562 5 месяцев назад

@@backyardbuck6362 They soften up fairly quick, don’t think any made it past the 3rd year. Since then, I found Amazon has quite a few now that are made all of steel, with one small rubber washer seal. I don’t think I’m going to have any issues with these. I think I bought a 6 pack, maybe 10 or 12. Good price when buying bulk.

@backyardbuck6362 5 месяцев назад

@@johnlile7562 Thanks for the tips I really appreciate I'll try them and I'm sure they'll work great.

@DavidM2002 15 дней назад

If you have a lathe, just take a stainless steel bolt and drill a hole through the center. 2 gasoline safe O-rings - one on each side of the gas container to seal it. A nut on the outside to hold it in place. An acorn nut on top. Done.

@nexrace 2 года назад

Valve stems are natural rubber & will die with gas. Maybe in the diesel it will live longer? A bulkhead -3 fitting (like the one you would use making brake lines) with Nitrile washers would work well too. :)

@Debtfreehomesteaders 2 года назад

I did not think about that gas vs. Rubber. A bulkhead fitting is a great suggestion. I will have to try that. Anything beats a California regulated safety can. I spill more on the ground trying to get the safeties to properly work. Thanks for the great suggestion! -Will

I hate most of the no vent cans but I did find a very useful model at my local stihl dealer. It has a short nozzel with a button on it. I've found it really useful for filling up my tools and honda generator. Gives you a lot of flow and a lot of control. Unfortunately the brand stickers have worn off and I can't remember who makes them.

@Debtfreehomesteaders 3 года назад

No Spill ! Great product ! How have you been Aaron? -Will

@seanseoltoir Год назад

The vent hole needs to be further back, but that might make it more difficult to install the valve stem since you are using a heavy piece of wire... When I need to install a bolt in an area like that where I can't get my hand to reach it, I run a string through the hole first and put enough of it through that eventually it is dropping to some place where I can gain access... In your situation, putting a shop vac on the regular filler hole will likely capture the string as you feed it in... Once you have the end of the string coming through the larger hole, attach it to the end of the bolt (or valve stem in your case) and pull it back through the vent hole. Remove the string while holding onto the shaft of the valve stem and screw your valve core tool onto the valve stem. You can then use it to pull the valve stem through the hole without possibly damaging the valve stem from bending it.

What about the debris from the drilling falling into the can and ending up in the gas when filled.

@eddieaguirre2845 3 года назад

What size drill bit did you use?

@Debtfreehomesteaders 3 года назад

That would be 1/2 inch drill my friend. Make sure to measure the thickness of your valve stem near the base as all stems may differ in size. Make sure to leave a like. It really helps the channel. Thanks for watching! -Will

It looks like you have an EZ pour spout. Mine came with a vent. EZ pour rocks.

@crazysquirrel9425 4 месяца назад

If one vent is good, will two vents be better?

@Debtfreehomesteaders 4 месяца назад

Yes you can. But more vents or a larger vent will only create value up to the point that your air volume in is equal to the fluid volume going out. Beyond that point it’s just a waste. Great question! Thanks for watching. -Will

@crazysquirrel9425 4 месяца назад

@@Debtfreehomesteaders You are welcome. For me I do not want to hold a 40 pound gas can any longer than absolutely necessary. I did modify one of those spouts to remove restriction, then added hose on the plastic spout, then added a piece of copper pipe to the end so it stays IN the filler neck. I can now set the can on the bed rail, insert the hose, and not have to hold it. But that too takes longer than I want so ordering a set of those nice metal vents. Not sure if I want to drill a hole on the only Gerry Can I have though. Rest are plastic. My plastic gas cans are not midwest - cheap walmart brand. Not sure I can buy replacement spouts to upgrade them. May have to try another method.

@crazysquirrel9425 4 месяца назад

@@Debtfreehomesteaders On another video I saw a guy use a tire valve stem (all rubber one). Seems much cheaper than a metal one. Might try that on a small cheap can.
