So far so good. I’ve filled it twice and it’s great getting 13 gallons at one shot ru-vid.comUgkx-vlHjazTv30m_UAq9Ht-fuPo2jBx7tTx . It pumps out by using gravity so the bottom of the tank needs to be above the vessel you're filling. Not a drop spilled filling the generator three times. Let’s see where we’re at after 20 fills.

There's a couple of locking tabs in there to release and the parts slide right out, spout looks the same and the cap still screws on. I have 3 of the same cans and they work great after the spout repair with the added vent like John installed. You only need one vent but it works well either way.

There's also a small rubber o ring inside the cap. I also replaced it with a neoprene of ring. It was actually the first seal to fail in just a few months

Thanks Danny. Yes, the vents snap in, but that allows for a small amount of gasoline to leak out as you drive home from the gas station. I was hoping to find a product to stop that.

I got myself a nice narrower, longer funnel. Put the funnel on the tractor, remove entire spout from fuel can, and pour it directly into the funnel without the spout on. Pours fast, eezy peezy. Only a little tricky if the can is really full, so I just stopped filling them as full.

@danyf3116 4 года назад

@@wildbill23c I got mine from Banggood. Picture this. I have a metal shop with concrete floor 13'x34'x11' high ceiling and a wood shop with wooden floor 14'x20'x8 high ceiling. On the coldest day this year for my area, -24'C, on a 10 litre container, I'd use maybe a 1/4 or 1/3 of fuel. That would keep BOTH shops heated at 14'C which is 30'C difference from inside and outside temps. Since it heats up a dry heat, it was never humid in the shops. I had bought the 8Kw but from what I hear, it's just a gimmick. They are just over pushing a 5Kw which is much cheaper in price. I installed it on the 6th of January this year and stopped it maybe 2 or 3 times before finally removing the heat for the season, in mid-April. Very good investment. Haven't done any maintenance on it yet.

If you don't over-fill your fuel cans, which is the reason to put that vent up as high as you can, I put mine in the middle of the back side of the handle on my 2 gallon can.

This venting idea has been the easiest and cheapest method I think I could have done. So simple! Go for it! 👍 no leaks Keep on tractoring!

*I used this on my 2006 Troy Bilt Pony (MTD) tractor **Bestfor.Garden** also recommend it was an easy swap. It's very light aluminum and seems sturdy enough so far; I assume you really only need to replace the idle pulleys once so if these wear out anytime while I have the mower I'll update the reivew.*

Gravity made the debris fall down into the container. Invert the container when drilling. Wear eye protection as gravity will cause debris to fall towards you.

I have a plastic gas can that I store gas in it for 4-5 months only no longer than that. I noticed around 3 months my plastic gas can swells up do you think if I were to install these gas vents it would help with the can swelling? It is a brand new can I am using. Thank you Sir any info would help.

@ritterjon 3 года назад

My cans will always swell in warm weather and shrink in cold weather. The vents are tight and I really only use them when pouting fuel. Keep on tractoring!

Put some grease on the drill bit it will collect the plastic bits.

If you take the top portion off of that government issue safety can,lol, I put a rubber door stopper on top of mine and it fits tight.

LOL, it's gov. regulated; not issued.

@@jeffschaefer4579: "Feel better"? Since when would it have to do at all with my feelings? My feelings don't play a role at all, silly boy. These aren't gov. issued because the gov. doesn't sell or give them. They're just regulated by the gov. There's a big difference and it has nothing to do with how I feel, haha.

@@HelloKittyFanMan. man, a bit nervy aren't we. Steady now. In accordance with the old Bill Murray movie stripes, lighten up Francis, deep breaths. Ah that's better.

@@jeffschaefer4579: What's your problem? "Nervy"? Telling you the actual situation something is in doesn't make me "nervy." Your false accusation just shows that you're clueless about at least 2 things: 1. the difference between an issue and a regulation, and 2. what things mean someone is "nervy." Did you buy your can from a government-owned store? Were you sent one by them? No, because the gov. doesn't own stores that sell them. You know you didn't get your can from the gov. If you're this offended just by my having told you the difference, then you really have some mental stability problems to work out. Better go take your next med dose now.
