Moving parts wear out and break. Change my mind.
I’ve been converting to VP racing cans but had three diesel safety cans kicking around until about three weeks ago. I was pouring fuel, at its standard dribbling slow pace, when all of the sudden the whole mechanism snapped in half dumping diesel all over the tractor, the ground, and me. I was so pi$$ed off I couldn’t hold it, pulled the lid completely off and threw the spout, dumped the leftover into a VP can then kicked the safety can into the wood line where it still sits. I’m not proud of the outburst but that’s how it went down.
Hate those things, always have. In my entire life I don’t think I’ve dumped a cumulative amount of fuel with traditional cans equal to that one incident.
