I hate new fuel cans so here is what I did.

You can now buy the translucent VP jugs at rural king for $25 which includes the spout.

What is the spout like on these?

Looks like this vendor doesn't offer them in yellow. Wonder if anyone does. I normally associate red with gas and blue with kerosene, so that leaves the white. Could mark them of course.

I got a couple of these from Jegs

JEGS 5-Gallon Utility Jugs - Free Shipping on All Orders @ JEGS

They're most definitely not intended for fuel but....

I've checked with several No-Spill dealers locally. None have diesel cans. They tell me the reason is their supplier doesn't have any.

Bump. Thanks guys.

Gonna try one of the VP Racing Jugs, the spout for it - and a couple of the EZ-Pour retro-fit spout kits.

I don't worry about fuel spills anymore with those new style spill-proof containers. Sure, I spill a lot more fuel with them. Goes all over the place while you're trying to do the three handed trick holding a five gallon can upside down, or the stiff spout flips out of the cap. I just don't <i>worry</i> about the spills.

The way I understand it, Big Brother only mandated how the cans were to perform, the companies that manufacture them came up with the designs.. Some designs are slightly, and I DO mean slightly, better than others. I despise all the designs... I've spilled exponentially more fuel since their introduction than all the years prior.

Boy, I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels thins way.....:mur:

For an EPA can, these actually work very well. Work bought them for us to carry on our service trucks.

I love this can...I always struggled getting diesel into my tractor without a mess. This just lays flat on the hood, you push and hold the button, and it runs until the can is empty or tank filled.
