It turns out there is a Do It Best store fairly close to me and they claim there's no charge for shipping. So, I guess I'll give these a try. Thanks!
A five gallon tank, hmm? I got a good one here, Online Hardware Store, One Stop place for Home Hardware,Plumbing, Electrical, Automotive, Garden, Tools, Paints and Construction supplies., and it was pretty cheap. The local stores around here overprice their stuff way too much.

I got a Wedco 5 gal diesel can and a 6 gal gas can, both with a separate vent, for a total of $17.58 via the Do It Best web site and had it delivered to a local store at no extra charge. I didn't pay tax or for shipping. Thanks to everyone for your help!

i used one with that type of spout (smaller can, though) and it did seem to work really well.......actually shut the fuel flow off well....

I like the new cans. I have 4 of the new kind and one of the old for diesel. I think they were less than $10 at TSC. I haven't noticed much of a difference in the time it takes to empty them. I find it's easier to fill the tractor when the loader is off, I just start to pour, then set the can on the hood of the tractor while it empties.

I Dont like any 5 gallon can any more since I went to a 30 and a 55 gallon drum.

I just added my own vent to the vent less cans. Bought some metal valve stems at the auto parts store, drilled a hole at the top rear of the can, and removed the valve core. Hardest part was getting the valve to feed up from inside the can. I dropped a string thtough the hole and fished it out the spout opening, tied it around the valve, pulled it up and screwed the nut on.
