"Nospill" is the brand Dave's after. I have one and make my family members buy them too. They work the best out of all the cans out there. Swap the tops and DOT even likes 'em. They are taking over the shelves at OPE shops everywhere and for good reason. Thicker cans don't distort with temperature fluctuations, they pour much faster than any other non-vented can, and the spout assembly actually works and holds up over time. Mine is 2+ years old and going strong. I have 2 Blitz 5 gal cans and can't wait to get rid of those f*&^ers.

Should be available at any place that sells Deere or Stihl equipment, or has a Rotary and/or Stens account. Which covers about 99.8% of shops out there.

And everybody's favorite .....

I don't know about the can but I sure wouldn't mind putting my hands on no spill Jill's jugs :cool:

"Now you know our nozzles are great, but what about our cans?"

Yep... she said it.

Unfortunately, she also said "our flow rate is 3 gal/min. As if that's a good thing?!? There's no way I'm sitting there for two and a half minutes to fill my mower. My current 5 gallon cans can be emptied in under 30 seconds (better than 10 gallons per minute).

If you've used an unmodified can from any other manufacturer then 3 gal a min is fantastic. Fastest can sold today unfortunately. I'm guessing your cans are old enough to have vent caps on them.

I have two 5 gal Blitz cans and I'd be shocked if they unloaded 1 gal/min. And the f%^&*ng valve/nozzle leaks on both of them . :mad:

Yep... all my cans have vents. In fact, I bet I can pour faster than 3 gal/minute from the vent hole on my old plastic Eagle gas can! Spout on that can is about 1-1/4" ID, and the vent is about 1/2" ID, with screw on caps on both / no spout neck. Works great for quickly filling the 7.5 gallon tank on my mower.

Can modification is done. Results in a 100% increase in speed to empty the can (the stupid OEM spout is now the bottle neck). Mod took less than 5 min. to do: Highly recommended.

I modded mine as well. I hated that stupid latch before you could press down the handle.

While I agree all the newer cans suck donkey nads a good old funnel has solved my problems for all small engine applications.

I have one can that I still can't figure out....I have to pull back on this spring loaded thing and then the can will trickle like an 80 year old with a prostate issue and it takes what seems like days to fill a friggin push mower. Hence me using a funnel.....heck sometimes I overfill just to smell the spilled gas and thumb my nose to CARB
