"Bailing wire. If you don't know what that is, you probably shouldn't be doing this". That was my favorite part of the video. Hilarious. Thanks for the great vid.
I did this to my gas cans and it worked great for a year. As others have stated the rubber on the valve stems swells and breaks. I went to ebay and found 5 vents for $3.50 shipped. They push right into the same 1/2 in hole.
I agree except I paid more, got 'em from Amazon -- 10 for $8.00. The things seem to last forever: www.amazon.com/JSP-Manufacturing-Chilton-Rotopax-Multipack/dp/B00U7YLKNU?ref_=ast_bbp_dp
Done like a real man in a real garage, no safety glasses, no gloves! The only thing missing was a Budweiser can in the background. "If you don't know what bailing wire is, you probably shouldn't be doing this" excellent advice.
If i were there, I'd light us up some fine cigars to celebrate a long and bright future of mega gasoline storage, now made possible by these two pioneers. Just a matter of time before they are recognized in the local news for their deeds.
How funny you did all the same mods I did on my own. However I learned that over time the rubber valve stems were eaten away by the gas so I went online and bought just the little yellow vent that used to come on the cans and some glue that is rated for gasoline and put these in. No issues.
Tractor Supply has an "old gas can" repair kit that includes the vent plug with attached snap cap along with the spout, but this is a great idea too! Thanks for the vid!
The tire valve stem trick is the coolest thing since sliced bread! Dang good idea! One thing a SERIOUSLY ADVISE ALL VIEWERS... if you do not have it already in the pouring spout, cut a disc of window screen, use an old wire mesh aerator from a water faucet or something, and put it somewhere in the spout like what you thought was the little brass debris filter they used to put in all gas cans. Here's the secret... that little piece of wire mesh won't filter out the twigs and crap that shouldn't be in your gas can, to begin with. It is there to SAVE YOUR LIFE. That little mesh is a flame arrestor. It will stop a flame from entering the neck of that spout and DETONATING your gas can. That impossible-to-use new neck that is the reason for this very good video, to begin with, is there because otherwise smart people were bursting into flames like a Buddhist monk festival in Vietnam. You see, an open flame, even a tiny one you may not see in full daylight will follow those fumes right up the spout and explode the gasoline (or moonshine) inside. Those damn new handles don't have anything to do with the EPA or wasting energy or anything. They are made so if a flame starts to come up the spout, and you let go of the handle, that little button closes a valve to keep you and anything around you from looking like a sack of Ol' Diz charcoal. The maker of that gas can... Blitz... doesn't exist anymore because they decided to save a nickel or less per can and take out that little "filter." The result was tragic. I personally worked with three victims of gas can explosions caused by that smart move. These were good guys. One was even a volunteer firefighter, and all three had similar incidents that left them HORRIBLY BURNED. One, after 2-3 years had already run up over 20 million dollars in medical expenses. Another was divorced by his wife who just couldn't take it. Of course, after a lot of therapy, he was able to visit his two little girls. And by the way, the therapy was for the little girls, not him. Corporate greed brought on those damn new safety spouts and killed the company who tried to save a buck. So before anyone goes on about tree-huggers, government regulations, and the E.P.A., keep in mind who really created the problem. Somebody trying to make a few extra bucks while making you into something your kids are afraid to look at.
@@roymadison5686 It's hard to wrap your mind around, but it's true... the actual figure at the time (about 6-7 years ago) was around 23 million, but when you count in the more than half a year at the JMS Burn Center and the Burn and Reconstructive Centers of America hospitals in Augusta, GA, plus the other hospitals, medevacs, etc., you can start to see how it adds up. The difficult and expensive thing about burns so severe is fighting infection. A severe burn sort of "cauterizes" itself, but you have to start peeling that eschar off the body so new flesh can grow underneath. This is a repetitive process and is just as painful as you would imagine... if not more so. You can only keep a patient in an artificial coma for so long, and the tissue regrowth takes many months, if not years. And remember, that dead, burned skin doesn't grow or slough off like your undamaged skin. Plus, you've destroyed the epidermis and other outer layers of skin, so there is nothing to grow into new, impermeable flesh. Bacteria easily get in and your bodily fluids constantly drip out. So your left fighting a battle with an essentially open human body constantly dripping fluids on one hand, and a nice pulp of living, exposed blood vessels, nerve endings, subcutaneous fat and muscle (that which hasn't been burned or scraped off) all waiting for the next opportunistic bacterium to move in and start a family. Of course, it's not like anyone ever caught an infection at a hospital, right? If you've been hospitalized for anything from an injury to an illness look at your bill and see where aspirin cost $11 per 325mg, then consider the amount of equipment, medical supplies like bandages, cadaver and pigskin (used for temporary skin cover), not to mention catheters, bandages, syringes, and all the other non-reusable implements used to keep the poor suffering bastard alive. How much would a hospital charge for all those specialized supplies and the equipment, knowing there is no cap on what they can bill the insurance companies. Oh, and we haven't even talked about doctors, specialists, burn unit nurses, registered nurses, LPNs and other personnel. Then we've got to start talking about a life-care planner if the burn patient is "lucky" enough to get through all this trauma. The specialized equipment he'll need for the rest of his life, medicines, antibiotics, pain-killers, wound coverings and elastic faceplates so the scar tissue can at least sort of be shaped like a human being. Do you begin to see how all this stuff adds up? I got sick and had a 5 week stay in a non-specialized unit at a hospital and ran up well over $60,000 worth of charges. Imagine how much it would cost to keep a human-sized wound alive for a year and a half. That is some serious change.
Great idea. I have a 90 year old mom that still insists on mowing her own lawn. Putting gas in her mower is the worst part. I’ll get to work and fix her can. Thanks for the video sir
BUREAUCRATS !!! Anybody who had a part in designing these valves should be forced to stand at the side of the road in 110- or 20-degree weather holding the can and valve with three hands while the gas trickles into the tank. (But I will take the advice about removing the "safety" device. Thanks for that especially.) I drilled a 1/4-inch hole in the top of one and put in a toggle bolt which I would loosen to pour the gas. Actually gave up on that and just use a bulb siphon hose with the can sitting above the tank. Takes a lot longer, but in inclement weather, you can sit in the vehicle and wait while it drains. The siphons are available at dollar stores and big box stores.for about $3 or less.
@3:22 - I prefer taking a torch to the tip of an awl and branding out a hole large enough to take a golf tee. Drilling always seemed like a risk of getting plastic shreds inside the tank. Great tip on cutting off that PITA locking nub.
It'll get caught by the screen on the nozzle. Assuming he didn't dump it out which he may have done and didn't show. I know I would have dumped it out, shown or not..
Totally awesome video. I get so frustrated with modern gas cans. I rotate 8 cans and always frustrated with the time it takes to empty a can in my gas tank. Will do this to all my cans. Thanks for sharing.
This, folks, is how to produce a YT video. He rehearsed what he was going to explain and do, had all the tools needed at hand, and left out all the " umm- well-ahh's". Short, sweet, to the point. No talking about the weather nor jabberjawing to hear themselves talk. Cameraman was weakest link, but no complaint ...
AND no "entertaining STUPIDITY" ! They DON'T need to be funny (they AREN'T !! ) - they OUGHT to just get to the point - _EXACTLY_ as the guys in THIS vid do ! Well done, even the camera guy mde his contribution _;=)) !_ EXCELLENT comment !
Mike, for those that live near the border (Canadian one) just go to the Canadian Tire store (or similar retailer) and buy a gas can without the safety mechanism that you so nicely cut out of yours. A CBP (U.S. customs and Border Protection) officer told me this tip. US $1.00=+- CDN $1.35.
I heard zeducation complain about the 'government gascan' and this was the first result i got when looking it up. I don't know the old design but this much alteration that seems needed on what's effectively a malfunctioning product is beyond me. Excellent video.
You remind me of myself, Hate these newfangled centuries-old tools of the trade that just don't work anymore. Fixed it. Thanks for the Humor and the Ideas. Loved it.
I did this to my gas cans last year after watching this. Works like a charm! Regarding the shape of cans, I found a version at Northern Tool that's a thinker plastic than the standard variety and is shaped like the metal jerry can. Those are my favorite.
Change doesn't mean the same thing as improvement. There is no excuse for government regulations that make gas containers more difficult to use and result in more spilled gasoline.
I think it was also some lawyers suing several plastic gas can companies out of business. One company fought the lawsuit and won. But the lawyer costs bankrupted them and they had to close.
@@kthwkr Yep. I've read about those lawsuits. Some idiots poured gas from a gas can directly into a burning fire and got burned. Yea, most of us are smart enough to know what happens when you do that but there is at least one idiot born every day, maybe even every hour nowadays. The lawsuit was because there was no warning on the can not to do that. I realize following instructions is a good thing but applying common sense is good too. Some don't have that. Aren't we lucky?? We know better even if it isn't on the can.
I have already fixed the nozzle but I have been living without the vent. Great idea I will put one on my can soon. The tire valve idea will also work for the older vans that you save lost the cap for the vent. Thanks for a great video. I bet the EPA loved the new modified can...
I like the idea of a control handle on the gas can. I found some vents at Rural King that fit in the 1/2 inch hole. They are yellow plastic and you just pop them in the hole from the outside. They are the same as the ones that came on the old style cans.
It seems like it is a good idea, BUT it isn't. I have done it that way several years ago. The problem is after some time the gas effects the valve stem rubber and it swell's up on the inside and falls out. Some of the old valve stems I had worked longer but the new kind used in the video will swell and fall out fairly quick. I converted all my new gas container's and now I had to replace the stems with 1/2" removable plastic plugs. I haven't been able to find valve stems that will hold up to gas. It doesn't even work for Diesel. They swelled up as well. If they swell and fall out in your car trunk or pickup now you have gas all over. I was lucky, they decided to let loose when removing the cap to pour gas out. Do it the correct way and buy the plastic vents.
@@XEGTDodgeMagnum I know Viton and Polypropelyne will hold up to bleach. Not sure about petroleum though. Nice - someone that doesn't call this "gas" or "gasoline". 100 million people calling something by the wrong name doesn't make petroleum "gasoline", it just makes those 10 million people inaccurate. I have an old plastic fuel container that is probably about as old as I am (almost 50), and it is still my favorite. It has a built in valve in the back that I can easily put my finger over to control the flow and minimize any spill/mess. I saw a 14 gallon tank that had a plastic nozzle similar to ones you find at the station pumps, but cheap plastic. Not sure if it has a release valve on the back end or not? I found it on Amazon. The county I live in just stopped stations from selling ethanol free fuel to reduce the carbon foot print, which does nothing but force us to drive further (and burn more fuel) to buy this elsewhere, then come back and still burn the ethanol free fuel in the county. I just don't understand why stations cannot sell this, but places like Lowe's and Home Depot can still sell this in small containers? So the end result is doing nothing but increasing the carbon foot print by driving further to obtain this fuel for my small engines. Politicians can be such morons.
Noneya Frigginbezwax ......Mr. Dipshit, they are not discussing your little 50 year old gas can with its little “built in” rear vent. They are discussing drilling a half inch hole in the rear of these cans that comes with an internal breathing line dispensing apparatus and they don’t come with rear vent plugs. Damn keep up man. By the way Sherlock, I’m 70 years old and I’ve been calling “gas” gas all my friggin life! I live in the southern state of Florida USA and I worked at gas stations, that’s right Boyee, gas stations not petroleum stations, all my young life to get thru high school off and on for 4 years. If you’d pulled up to the pumps and said “eh, fill er up with petrol young fella”, I’d had shit my pants laughing your ass all the way out of my “Gas Station”. I call that invisible non-solid stuff that comes out your ass “gas” also fart boyee.hahahaha, sorry, I made me laugh. You and your footprint....you can put your “footprint” where the sun don’t shine boyeeee.
You can buy the yellow plastic gas can vents on Ebay. You can get 20 of them for like $6 or less. Drill the same half inch hole and push it in. Easy. The valve stem is WAYYYY over thinking it. Not to mention the vent hole in the valve stem is so small it's like a 75 year old with prostate problems instead of an 85 year old as you say in the video.
Those old gott gas cans are the best cans I have ever had. I can't find spouts for them anymore, have to build them. I have two I still use. I hate the new ones
I bought a replacement spout. The guy in this video is right. The new spouts threads don't fit the old cans. However, I was able to reuse my old Gott lock ring which had the right threads and just put the new spout through the old lock ring. It isn't a perfect fit, though. Each time I fill the can I have to be careful to carefully align the new spout because the old lock ring's hole is slightly larger than the new spout's base. If I don't carefully align it when I screw it back on it will leak big time.
Awesome. Tried it, it works well. The safety cans (non-spill) suck, both plastic and metal style with the funnel built in. I’ve never spilled more gas than I have with a safety can. They are a menace and a fire hazard. Thank you for sharing!
The Unaltered Cans Work Great ,If You Got Seven Hands And 20 Minutes To Fill A Push Mower ,And Spill Half The Gas On The Ground !!! Brilliant Design It Is !!!
I learned about these ridiculous CARB cans when I bought four of them for a long boat trip. After trying to use them and getting gas everywhere except where it was supposed to go, I had to empty them all by removing the nozzles, punching holes in the tops of theses brand new cans and using a funnel. This video is a good idea for modifying them so they'll be usable. Thanks
I have one of the EPA style gas cans........I filled it about 1/2 full of gas then was never able to get the gas out with that dam nozzle lock.....thanks for the video
Brilliant...How many times have I tried to think of a way to vent one of those...I'm going right over to TSC and get some stems. Gotta appreciate your down home " I'll figure out a way" engineering...many thanks
EXCELLENT IDEA!! Thank you so much sir. Now I can quit lying awake in bed at night for hours wishing I could get my hands around the necks of the bastard that designed these new cans as well as the money suckin politicians that put this shitzola on us in the first place. I have spilled more gas in one year trying to figure these damn cans out than I spilled in the 55 years I’ve been mowing my lawn. I am happy I happened across your video. Thank you.
@Robert Langley: DO NOT put a valve stem in your can as a vent, the valve caps crack in a few weeks and the ethanol melts the rubber valve stem and it will eventually crumble into fuel line clogging debris. There are fuel tolerant vents available online and at just about every automotive flea market I have attended for the past 5 years. They cost less than $1 each, do not stick out 1.5” for you to stick yourself when wresting a full can.
I purchased the vents from Amazon. I have seen warnings about installing them in the seam, so I installed them on upper right flat area as viewed while you are pouring. It can also be popped open while pouring, without releasing your grip on the handle.
There is so much joy in overcoming stupid design. I remember bypassing my the "child proof" caps on my grandmothers arthritis medication for her when I was 8 years old. To be clear, I opened the bottle FOR her because her hands hurt. I'm 50 now and have been taking pleasure in bypassing crap like this ever since. Thanks for your video.
Most newer med bottles have childproof caps, but they can be flipped over to make them not be child proof. Just flip the cap. There should be threads on the top of the cap so they can be put on as child proof or adult easy...if that makes sense. There are vids on youtube about it.
Nice vid, thank you. 1 step I may suggest you include: tilt can downward after drilling hole in order to remove any plastic shavings that may have fallen into can after drilling hole. You would not want to clog your machines with plastic debris.
This is a great idea but, I bought a couple of the VP fuel jugs instead. VP jugs come with a vent built in. They have a cap with 3/4 threads in the middle. I bought a 3/4 to garden hose adapter and connected a 3' section of hose. I frequently transfer full 5 gal jugs all at once and this setup allows me to dump a full jug into a fuel tank in about 45 sec.
Yup, I bought a new five gallon can and filled it with gas. Got home and went to pour it into the car and had no idea how to get the gas out. Darndest thing I ever saw.
Great Video. Loved the commentary also. I have been through this aggravation with revised thread design, spilling gas, etc. I have also found the manufacturers know very little about plastic design. Those caps have two sharp corners on the inner diameters and a thin wall between them so they crack and/or break easily. This is just another example of our government taking on the really important issues of our time - "gas can spouts". Next month maybe they can come up with a water hose nozzle that doesn't work. Or toilets that won't flush- (oh, wait-they already did that one).
I've converted 10 of my 15 using 3/8 drill and a yellow flip up air vent from Amazon. $1 + a liitle gas proof glue. Before the conversion, it took 6.5 minutes for a 5 gallon plastic jug to drain, with the single vent it empties in 90 seconds. On one I added two vents but it only cut the drain time to 1:15 for 5 gallons. I treat mine with STABIL and I'm using gas I stored 2 years ago without any issues.
The regular rubber valve stems go bad. The bottoms get soft and gooey and the stem easily breaks. I had to redo all my gas cans with steel bolt in stems. I found great ones at Grainger Part# 33w538. They are just over $1.00 ea. w/ steel cap. Now the cans are awesome.
Why don't you just buy the regular yellow plastic vents with the flip open cap that used to come in those cans? TSC sells them. They last almost forever.
Ron V The only thing that happens to them is the strap that connects the cap to the base gets brittle and breaks, then the cap sometimes gets lost. But that takes years to happen in most cases. That's why I use them too, they're almost bulletproof.
@@ralfie8801 Hey! Thanks for the warning. I have one I've had for years that looks like it's about to do that very thing. Fortunately I have replacements so it shouldn't be too much trouble to swap out.
Here's a tip for you - When that flex tube wears out due to old age take a piece of clear poly tube - O/D 1" by 3/4" I/D and slip that over the yellow portion of the nozzle and you've got a flexible spout again ...
I am from Southwest Louisiana where Hurricane Laura and Delta dealt us huge blows. We had on power for over a month. Gas cans were utilized greatly. One funny story. A brand new gas can fell ( or was thrown) out of a vehicle in I-10 and landed on the emergency stopping land and in plan view. It stayed there for weeks!!!! No one would stop and pick it up!!!!!! Ha
Mike, I am glad to see you are publicizing what I have been doing for years. Years ago I had to deal with the ones you had to push the nozzle in against a spring. I used to cut the spring in half to make it easy to operate. The nozzle you show is better than the last generations. You did the vent how I used to do it about 6 years ago before I figured out the problem with that. The rubble tire stem you use will rot away in a couple of years it will crumble and then break off. It will leak first though. Now I use the metal replacement tire valve stems. In the last five years I have not had a one of those fail. They do have a rubber washer under the nut which may eventually fail, then you can replace the 1/2" neoprene washer for $.05. The metal stems have a much better metal valve stem cap also. Other than that, good work! My suggestion is that as your rubber stems fail replace them with the metal ones! The one last thing I find is that after about 5 years the seam in the handle tends to crack creating a huge unwanted non-closeable vent. The solution for that is to throw it away! I fear this means that the material in the can becomes brittle after being exposed to fuel fumes. I fear that this is an intentional choice of material to force you to replace the can within about 5 years... of course forcing you to accept whatever new stupid design the government chooses for you. The best thing is to haunt garage sales for some good-ole cans, the usually come for about $1 . Sometimes you come home with metal ones!
That works like a charm. The most common brand of valve stem is Milton. Using a 1/2" drill, the Milton stem part no. is s413-1. Put a bit of soap or oil on the stem to make it pop into place more easily.
This worked quite well for me except for one thing. My plastic gas cans have fairly thick walls, more than 1/8th of an inch. I installed the rubber valve stems as shown in the video but two days later the rubber cracked on one of the two cans due to being stretched too much by the thick wall. I ordered a four-pack of metal valve stems on Amazon for less than $8 that screw down from the outside using a metal nut. They are much stronger and I'm sure they will work fine now. They come with two rubber step washers that will fit a 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch holes.
Ingenious! Thank you for posting the video. You don't have to be a survivalist to appreciate a tip that actually works. I've made the purchase of the necessary parts and I'm in the process of converting my gas can now. I did have a small vent hole drilled in mine, but between the gas station and house (not too far of a drive), there would always be some that would slosh out. This is exactly what I needed! Again, thanks. Such a great idea.
OH! by the way, I put valve stems into all my plastic weed sprayers with the wire the way you did ! now I can pressurize them with a bike pump !! instead of that hand pump
@@Mascotal " What I liked was that by putting in a bit more pressure than I could do with that hand pump, The sprayer really works a lot better, the spray really covered things."
@@TOMAS-lh4er YES!!! I agree. My sprayer works like it's on some kind of steroids. HOWEVER. Respect the air pressure. DO NOT OVER PREASURIZE THE SPRAYER. You will have a bomb pointed at your face.
@@Mascotal 10/4 Thanks for saying that!, I just get it to where it sprays really good and stop, and I just use my bike pump, the bike pump fills it real quick but I've got good control of the air. I notice the plastic is pretty thick. they probably design a certain amount of thickness to protect against overpressure by people, Yes its a sprayer with a mission now !!@
Now that is a good idea. I had that gas can fix done a long time ago. I live in CALE and the gas cans you buy around here for years are a POS. This state is usually the first one to screw something up like a gas can
Great tips. I love the tire stem vent, and never thought of numbering my cans! I hate the "improvements" the gov forces on us. Their motto is, "If there's not a problem, create one"
Just for reference, you can buy a kit that comes with an old style filler neck and a normal vent for about $12. They're marketed as "replacement" parts for older gas cans. Suuuuure.
I just fixed my leaky old gas flex tube. They cost as much as a new can. I took a piece of 1/2" flex pvc shoved it into the old spout then used a 5/8" grommet too seal the end closest to the can. I spent about $2.00 works like a champ.
I love this guy. I'm a 70 year old Vietnam vet & I am Sick & Tired of Bureaucrats screwing up our lives! I had to crash land my ultralight aircraft because of Ethanol in the fuel. It ate up the rubber in the carb Viton tip. I have six of the old gas cans by GOTT. GOTT is German for God.
Cannot STAND the new cans. Am now looking for old ones at every garage sale I pass. Who knew I should have held on to mine from the days when I owned my own lawncare business and had several?!
History: The old style cans or jugs were made by a mom & pop small company here in Oklahoma. They had made those cans for decades. Upscaled during WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm and made many of the 5 gallon "Jerry cans used for water and fuel. Started with metal, then changed to plastic ones at some point. Some smart-ass shyster filed a class action lawsuit (think Roundup / glyphosphate weed killer) against them, on behalf of people who obviously were too stupid to use one properly or supervise their children. Short story, bankrupted the business that employed almost 200 people. The EPA can was waiting in the wings to take their place, and here we are. BTW, my local farm and garden here does get a kit for the older Gott cans. I have 3 that are at least 20 years old and just had to get replacement spouts and vent snap buttons. But I like the idea of that valve stem. Thanks for the video. My son has one of them new ones and we all hated it. I fixed it too.
Pretty Cool Video... I drilled a vent hole where you did, and just my luck, my 'marker pen' fit perfectly, and being hot pink, I haven't lost it (yet). I'm going to 'disable' that safety lock feature like you did (Wish I thought of that 10 - 20 years ago), because trying to pour gas in my lawn--tractor's tank while lifting 5-Gallons of gas, and pulling that safety tab back is an arthritus challenge for this 75 year old man!!! I mean "This 75 year old maintenance man here in thee Burg , that is Middleburg Florida! Thanks, great video! ;-)
I have a can with a different design but designed to prevent spollagenand fumes. I have spilled more gas with it than ever. They simply do n't work. This is good old American ingenuity.
You said the exact same words I said this morning. It was designed by "Washington bureaucrats who have never mowed a yard." And if you go to DC, you will see the bigwigs have gardeners, and the small fry live in (the smallest ever) pigeon coop apartments.
That works, get the tire value stems that are preferred for a lawn mower rim, these are shorty stems and wouldn’t be so long or sticking out so far, then again on eBay they sell the vents that they used before on these cans, they are not a bad price either, thanks again for sharing your trip and video
RU-vid brought me here, I guess so I can learn the trick with tubeless valve. I'm from Europe, we have similar dumb designs for our fuel cans but not near exact. However, valve trick made it worth watching. Thank you.
@Ether X - I'm thinking the same thing . When a small piece of plastic gets stuck in that ridiculous valve , he'll be pissed off . What a POS gas can anyway .
I just drilled a hole and stuck a screw in there. Fished for one that was big enough. Works.That's what I did for the bigger cans. Smaller ones I bought from Canada. They don't have issues like we dol
I spilled more gas the first time I used one of those new stupid valved cans than I have spilled in my entire life. What a piece of CRAP!!! It has some kind of a contact tip that is supposed to release the valve, I think, it doesn't, and makes a MESS. I'm an engineer, and I think the can I have was designed by a chimpanzee, and not a particularly sharp one, either. Mine is MUCH worse than the one you show here, believe it or not, I can't even figure out how it's supposed to work, probably broken from the start, don't know. WTH was wrong with the old cans that just had a open hose and nozzle on them? Worked great. OH, and as an engineer, I suspect that rubber may not last that long in contact with auto fuel, just sayin'. Would have to know the specific compound to be sure, but I suspect many won't.
@@JodBronson I hate Walmart and their labor and supplier practices so I never shop there. But in this instance, for this much pain and aggravation I might actually go look. Thx for the info.
This is the kind of man you want to have as a neighbor!!! He's awesome! I imagine he can rig up anything to work or fix anything! This was a great idea! I have been cussing out these darn new gas cans since they came out and have tried to buy as many used gas cans of the old style that can be found! Now, I don't have to! Thanks!!
Look into buying a water distiller , drink 1 gallon per day which will flush your body of inorganic minerals, VOC's (Fluoride) & heavy metals which. The body can only assimilate organic minerals. Inorganic minerals build up in the body causing arthritis, arteriosclerosis & PROSTATE issues. If you have discipline and avoid processed sugar, artificial sweeteners, toxic American dairy (Toxic because of pasteurization & other crap they put in it). After a few months you will notice huge changes in health including your hair will revert back to the color of your youth. Pure zero ppm water is kind of like the fountain of youth, it will clean your arteries & heavy metals that have accumulated in the brain from vaccines & chemtrails. (My buddy is a pilot who knows all about chemtrails sprayed upon us by the military) The world is run by oligarchy families of banker royals who are orchestrating Famine, Disease, WW3 & FEMA Death camps. Truth is stranger than fiction !
Not sure that those Amazon vents were available in 2011(when this video was made) like they are now. I have done what he did except with the "real" vents from Amazon.
Great job. Only thing I would do differently is to drill the hole with the can upside down so any shavings don't fall into the can. Sure you can get them out later, but I prefer to keep them out in the first place.
I just fixed one up and I've really liked it now but the only thing I did different is I drilled a 3/8 hole instead of a 1/2 and the valve plugged pulled and filled in the hole a lot tighter.
Nofer Trunions Rural King sells new spouts and vents. The spouts come with a few different size threads. I was able to put new spouts on my old cans as well as the new ones.
@@garykirkpatrick2636 Good news THANKS but RATS! - RK is a solid 45 min from me. But I guess I can wait for my next blue jean run down there. NOTE: I just checked with Tractor Supply and they have the same kit for $13.99 which RK is $8.99 - WOW, RK ROCKS! (I wonder if TS price matches...)
Great video. Never thought of that type vent. I used vents bought on ebay. I suggest not drilling a hole on the seam because i did that and the seam eventually split apart on the same type gas can.
