Gas cans — The NO good, the bad, and the ugly

If you don’t want to go to the expense of buying a metal can, this video shows how to modify a commonly available plastic can to actually work.  It is a great display of old fashioned American ingenuity. 

  I’d be leerly of vapors escaping from any plastic nozzle during storage, but he had about 15 cans there and he hasn’t blown up yet.

A simple way to vent a plastic gas can is to drill a 1/16 inch hole in the underside of the top handle.

The best can I can find is the Wavian NATO Jerry can. 
The new nozzles are both EPA and CARB compliant but pour as easily as any other spout.
