Or live in the civilized world where the cans have vents.

VP ones suck and split at the seam, buy these instead. Seen theses last 20+ years, made in USA.

All cans are good if you do away with the government horse shit

These are what I use. NATO fuel cans, they are tough and can banged around without damage. Bought a pallet of them years ago and they are still being used to this day.

I ain't the one to blame.
The only thing I don’t like is that the threaded portion of the tube can break at the cap. Other than that, I like them. Have one I bought and one I found laying in a field.

Man. I bought these and the collars all broke on them. I snug them up, and every last one snapped. It was really cold out, so I'm sure that's why, but I'm just going to get some new jugs. The VP ones look to be the ticket.

I pound a framing nail in mine. Easy to remove and easy to install.

Whenever I change out the gaskets I just buy standard NATO can gaskets and they fit.

This. Put them on, and rock on.
I have the VP cans, but anything with a high flow works.

I bought a 4 pack of purple VPs years ago. One of my better actions.
They are the shittiest plastic I've ever seen, no uv resistance and brittle below 40 degrees.
I tried to be civilized but went back to the hillbilly valve stem method

The standard red ones with the spillproof spout get much better if you take a self tapping screw and put an air vent on them. Also cut the stupid child lock tab off with a pair of dykes.

There seem to be several different brands and styles of replacement spouts via an Amazon search. I buy the EZ brand ones at tractor supply and farm and fleet and have not had any issues with them. I am baffled that so many guys on this board have so many issues with something as simple as a gas can lol

This is my super hungover buddy trying to fill the generator with one of those dumbass CA compliant cans to make coffee in the morning. We had some great laughs at his expense.
