Never had a problem with the new cans. I actually liked them once I got the hang of them. You really have to ratchet down the top so it doesn’t leak, but I had zero issues with flow or spillage filling my generator after laura.

I just bought these from Amazon to add to my cans, like the one below. Should have done it years ago. Instead of taking 5 minutes to pour out an unvented 5 gallon can, you can pour it in less than a minute.

i am shocked, horrified, and pleased at the plethora of gas can memes in existence.

Those green ones suck arse but they’re still not as bad as those fricking dumb ones that you have to push the thing in the side of the nozzle down. I spilled more gasoline than I even put in to my lawn mower trying to use one of those. I just bought some flexy spouts with vent ports. Need to order some more for all my new gas cans.

I bought some with this style, and they aren't that bad. The green button ones are BS.
The ones with the green button are better than this junk. I can't stand these.
I went on amazon and bought (8) VP racing cans. They are the best and drain fast because they are actually vented.

Agreed. I have been covered in gas a few times because of this dumb shite.

Basically correct. Here's a John Stossel piece on why the old cans are no more, and what happened to the company that used to make them. FWIW, I still have three of these which I guard with my life.

The same people responsible for making diesel drivers buy DEF fluid from a plastic can in a cardboard box with a little funnel that no doubt just gets thrown in a dumpster somewhere with the left over fluid and residue finding its way out into the "environment."

My buddy was bragging on the green buttons because they don’t spill. After about 4 minutes I pointed out he had only poured 1 gallon of gas. He tossed it and grabbed the funnel and finished the other 4gal in a minute.

My family owned an auto repair business for generations and I’ve collected a bunch of their five gallon paint thinner cans over the years. I’m stocked as frick.

$4.35 long blank funnel from OReilly.
Cut the bottom inch off.
Take off stupid pour spout from new gas can.
Poor in tank.
Profit.
