az41mag Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Anyone have suggestions on new 5 gallon gas cans? I need to replace some old gas cans (plastic has gotten brittle and about to crack), but the new gas cans I'm seeing all have some sort of cumbersome safety nozzle on them. The last 5 gal can I bought was a joke. You have to hold down a lever to make the gas flow while holding the can up, and has a vent in the nozzle that doesn't work very well so the flow was a trickle at best. It took about 10 minutes to empty a 5 gallon can. It seems like buying a gas can ought to be a simple thing, but trying to find some without the safety nozzle is proving difficult. Does anybody still make a gas can with a regular nozzle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missedagain Report post Posted July 6, 2020 If you search racing fuel can you can find them without the horrible safety features. You can order those online or atv shops usually carry them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Man the “new” cans with safety nozzles really suck. Makes me miss the old metal cans we used for filling lawnmowers when I was a kid. LoL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually just carry a 1-gal for generator and that’s usually double what I need... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted July 6, 2020 Rotopax but they are a little pricey. I think they also sell replacement nozzles for the new style cans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted July 6, 2020 It doesnt take much of a mechanic to undo the idiot valves. Unless you are one of the people who they made the valves for. LOL 😷 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
