The Perfect Gas Can?
Original Message   Mar 7, 2012 10:19 am
After snapping off the spring loaded spouts on all my current el cheapo gas cans, I have been looking around a good bit for a decent one.  I think I have settled on the Eagle Type II series:

 but it is crazy expensive, I have a hard time coughing up $67 for a gas can.  Has anyone found any good alternatives that they have been very pleased with?  If not I think I will go with this one.  I also saw that sportsman's guide just came out with some pretty cheap metal jerry cans, but finding a non-problematic spout would still be a problem for me.


Thanks a lot,

Dan

I do have a 2-gallon can that vents through the spout (no valves), and it works OK.  I usually end up taking the spout off of my 5-gallon can and pouring the gas into the 2-gallon can, then use the smaller can to refuel my OPE.  Works good except for the lawn tractor that has a larger fuel tank...   I'll be trying the screw trick on my 5-gallon can.
