THESE NEW STYLE GAS CANS

[AndyM]

I drilled holes in mine and put a piece of duct tape over the hole to stop splashing while I'm driving home from the gas station. The small hole lets in enough air to pour the cans quickly and without spilling.

A 1/8 inch hole and a golf tee works well too.

This is the level of hostility and Political venom that has no place on TBN.

This thread don't seem very hostile or venomus.

OK, here is a hot tip to prevent spilling.

Put the can on the ground and stand so the spout is away from you. You are at the South end of the can, and the spout is at the North end.

Most people will just naturally put the spout on facing North. What I have found is that if I put the spout on facing West, there is a lot less spillage, sometimes none. I am right handed, lefties put the spout on facing East.

Also, If I do it this way, I can support the weight of the can with my hand on the bottom of it, and spilled gas does not run down onto my hand.

See the attached file for a diagram.

That's exactly the way I fill my tanks, and as you stated, it's much easier than the old style cans. The first few cans was a "learning curve," however!

Raddad:

I don't think I was being uncivil, but just to make sure I am civil, I'm sure sorry if I offended you or anyone else. That was not my intent. I still do believe I was being civil.

California IS over regulated to the point of being ridiculous. Case in point, it is illegal to mount a portable GPS to a windshield in two states. Yes, California is one of them and your state, Michigan is the other. State law makers have nothing better to do with their time or else they wouldn't be passing such important legislation as this.

You have grossly offended me I cannot think for myself and need lawmakers to regulate my every action & thought

Government - Please save us all from any independent thought or responsibility for our actions

Please Tax me into non existence - I no longer am worthy of being middle class

Now - we both can feel better

Golf tee - huh
