Any one know of a good way to modify one of these spill proof gas cans to not spill so much gas.

You almost always need to hold the spring loaded nozzle open while you are trying to fill a tank or pour into a funnel. All the while, the you are trying to watch the gas go in the tank at a terribly slow rate. Instead you are knocking over the funnel or pouring the gas down the side of the tank.

I feel like most of the time I am a pretty reasonable, forgiving sort. But I think I would like to see the person that came up with these things tarred and feathered.

What could possibly be the matter with a regular gas can? I can't get mail order, went to PA and Delaware. Forgot to look when I was in NY. Tried to buy a regular spout, doesn't fit the can.

Help.

Ben,

There are no specs for the pump.  As it is, it fills my gallon fuel tank quickly.  I also made one of those funnel holders that someone else mentioned to the club.  Makes the process easier.

AJ...I won't be making a dolley, I'm not crippled just have to be a little careful.

Rob,

The Walmart here sells 2 types of Blitz gas cans.  One is the type we all hate (no spill).  They also have another type that has a vented nozzle, (without the usual vent in the back of the can. ) The latter doesn't have a shutoff or anything, and it also fits on the Blitz 5 gallon cans.

I hope this helps
