Robmints, You are correct about the funnel and those safety caps. I thought about that when I bought it, but I don't need a funnel to fill anything but a beer-bong. I've never tried to dump a full gallon of oil-gas mix all over the place just to test out my new gas can, but if I remember correctly the fuel didn't stop when it got to the nozzle tip of the can. I don't like them either but I couldn't find the other kind around here. Marshall, The kind you bought aren't readily available around here. I can see it now, Sheriff: Where ya heading so fast son Marshall: Oh just out to see some friends in Maryland, PA, and Delaware. Sheriff: You got anything illegal in there Marshall: Nah, nothing in here but me and these 300 high priced gas cans.

I'm very happy with the Briggs & Stratton Smart Fil I believe it is called. You can find it on the B&S website. I believe it is up to about $27 now but it absolutely works great.

I use the B&S Smart Fil for my snow blower, mower, and wood chipper. "I don't need no stinkin filter " for any of those. I just open the valve and pour, it doesn't spill a drop and stops automatically when the OPE fuel tank is full. To each his own, but I would never use anything else.
