Been looking to buy a diesel fuel contaner. Most I understand are no good but dont know which one pours and handles the best with all that EPA crap around. Any suggestings?

If you make it up north (Canada) pick up a normal fill spout for whatever you get - Canadian Tire carries one with various rings to fit a variety of cans.

In some ways, our northern neighbors have less of a nanny state than we do down here ....

Looks like the no spill is NG. The other thing is thr flow rate. The best I have found do 3 gal. p.min. Yea, I think I prefer Jills can.

Do they ship? Must have a web site. I'll take a look

The No-Spill containers in the second post are very good. No leaks, drips, pours fast: not cheap though.

ACE Hardware has them.

These are my favorite. Expensive but last forever.

The latest "Farm Show" publication displayed a link to a small company selling vents for portable fuel cans. These appear to be the same type that were installed on cans back in the "good ol days", and almost as expensive as the whole can from back then, ($4/per IIRC). If I can find the rag, will post the link in case anyone is interested.
Probably illegal to retrofit a modern day can, but if you still have some of the older cans laying around, or like me, just disgusted with the now-a-day setup.......

By the way, Jill does appear to have a nice display of.....er......ahem.....cans!!!!?

Vents are simple! Drill a 1/2" hole where you want the vent (I used my shop vacuum as a blower from the spout end while drilling), run a wire through the can, pull a short tubeless-tire valve stem through. Remove the core, cap it when you don't need to vent! ~~ grnspot
