Has Anyone Else Bought A New Gas Can Recently?
My old plastic gas can developed a leak, so I replaced it with a new one. Apparently, the federal government has mandated that all new gas cans be "spill-proof." Mine has a spring-loaded cap that you have to pull back, which exposes the spout which exposes the plug. Unfortunately, this "spill-proof" design makes it virtually impossible NOT to spill ****ing gas all over the place when filling up the mower...
I was outside, covered in fuel, basically laughing my ass off at the stupidity of it, and was wondering if others have had the same issues? |

Oh, you meant that I should get a "how to work your gas can" lesson from that man. I thought you meant something else.

But seriously, I have the same issue. I feel like I'm spilling more gas than I'm getting in the tank.

Those can be easily fixed. Just take a hand torch and melt that little safety lever off the nozzle.
