Found a great gas can spout!!

   / Found a great gas can spout!! #51  
Wow! I have a couple of the Red ones for gasoline for the ATV's and mowers, but I bought from Lowe's a few years ago and thought the $30 price was high!

My biggest complaint about them is the filler neck on mine is at the 45 degrees and it will just barely allow you to pump in 5 gallons.
Look at the different pictures, some are at 45 some are on top, I would only want one with the filler opening on top knowing what I know now.
they changed the design, mine is straight from the top down, but to be honest im too impatient to wait for the foam to stop on the diesel anyway. and 4 gallons pretty much fills me up, so i don't need every inch of the tank

Look at this, even more money then the no Spill, (kind of ridiculous to be honest), but mine is setup the same way, but i knew i would never be able to hold it, i rest this on the steering wheel, and it just takes some hand pressure to hold the lever down, but you don't hold the weight of the can at all, drains pretty quick as well, need to tilt a little at the end, but the can is pretty much empty at this point
LittleBill21, thanks for responding. The 5 gallon cans I use to fill the tractor tank have a spout with a ring that is apparently held out by a spring - and when 'out' nothing will pour. So, I can tip the cans to pour but the spout is somehow closed until that ring is pushed back. When I lean the cans forward I rest the ring against the lip of the tank opening and let the weight of the can force the ring back and then it begins to pour. I am not actually holding the weight of the gas can as that weight is on the ring which is on the tank opening. My task is just lifting the tank on to the hood of the tractor and then tipping it into the tank. So, I guess I have it a bit easier than some - I don't have to worry about the weight of the can as it pours in.

I don't know where I got those 'ring' spouts - I have looked but cannot find them. They work the same, however, as these:

I love the NoSpill cans myself and have a smaller 2.5 gal one for 2 cycle mix, 2 5gals for diesel and one 5 gal for gas. And I still have one 5 gal old style gas can that they can pry from my cold dead fingers. One of my NoSpill diesel cans empties in a flash and the other one takes forever. Not sure why the difference. But I drilled a small hole through the tabs behind the pushbutton, so i set it up on the hood of the tractor, point the spout in the tank, push the button and stick a 3/16" drill bit or rod through the holes to hold the button in. I stay nearby but I can do other things. Not something to do if there is risk of overfilling, but if you know it will take the full can, then no worries.

I am still using plastic gas cans I bought for Y2K....over 20 years old.
I've got plastic cans older than that. They haven't started to rust yet.

For the prices they have listed on that site, they should come perpetually filled :).
For me, I was never a fan of metal cans, don't know why, just never liked them'
I've got two 10L vented plastic gas cans I use for my ZT and one 20L gas that I vented with a tire valve and one 20L diesel can vented.
I have one flexible spout left and then I'm out, can't find them anywhere around here, I think mine was a Wedco, bubble packed and only paid around $5 for it, wish I had bought a dozen of them when I saw them years ago.............Mike
