Gas can vent caps

[scott44]

Maybe I'm the only one who didn't know these existed bit I installed them on all my gas/fuel cans today. I saw and I think it was on here some guys were using valve stems and taking the guts out and using them so I googled it and came across these on Amazon 10 for $7 so I bought them. The ad on Amazon says you need a 31/64ths drill bit so I thought no way I had one of those but wrong I had one in a set so now no more spilled gas/fuel and the cans breath better, just drill a 31/64th hole and snap it in.

I buy a kit with a "standard" nozzle to replace that BS new style and the kit comes with a vent like you show.

makes fueling machines a lot quicker.

Which kit works well for you?

That beats what I've been using. I've been putting tire valve stems with the insert removed in my cans for years.

It's a shame what the EPA, government regulations and Ambulance chasers did to the functional old gas can....

Glad you posted these I had no clue they were available.

Fleet Farm has those kits for like 13 bucks. It's priceless. Glad they can still sell these kits to repair our pre 2009 cans ;)

It's made by EZ pour. Menards and Amazon have both stocked them in the past.

Thanks. Will get a few old ones back in business.

Agreed 100%, what use to take 5 minutes to put a can of diesel in my tractor now takes about a minute. I bought several of these from Tractor Supply.

Just what I've needed for years! No more aggravation, and no more sweating it out, waiting, when you suddenly realize you need to take a leak NOW!

I spill much less with the old school spout and vent.

They are the cats meow, I have them on all my cans. I would like to stomp the people responsible for legislating the gas cans they sell today. I have spilled tons more gas with them than I ever did with the old normal gas cans.

Those are great.

Here is another slick design - vent built into the spout that runs the length of the spout.

Fed up with these same issues, I just bought a can from Rural King with a hose on the end...it looks like a "race can" (cans you see at motocross races). It's got a screw on vent cover and about a 10" hose out the top. It seems to work really well. No spills, breathes easy, you can manipulate the hose on the end to aid in fueling difficult equipment and it takes about 15 seconds to get 5 gallons in my tractor. Weird because they don't call it a "gas can" but it clearly shows a picture of a guy using it to put gas into a log splitter. As long as I can get my hands on these, I'll never buy one of the red cans again! Well worth the $20!! Two thumbs up!!

I just drill a hole in the top opposite of the spout. Put a large a nail in it when not using and take it out when I want to pour gas.
