Gas problems :)

[HotLogs]

What do you guys do to prevent ur plastic gas cans from collapsing in the winter?

P.s. I've spilled more gas from these new gas cans than I don't know what. Very very horrible products.

Leave the collar around the spout a little loos

Do the above, or buy this conversion kit.

Personally, I use the metal gas cans with the funnel on the spout. Much cleaner operation.

I've switched over to the No-Spill brand cans. Not had a problem yet. Only downside is that for large volumes theyre slow.

Whoever designed these new gas cans has obviously never actually used one. I can appreciate efforts to prevent recklessly spilling gas everywhere, but I've spilled way more with these silly valves not shutting off in time or leaking all over themselves than I ever did with a regular spout and vent can.

We live in the nanny state now, every aspect of our lives must and will be controlled because we can't think for our selves. We must keep telling our selves "big brother knows best". I for one just want to say thanks big brother, I never would have figured out how to put the cap on the gas can to keep it from spilling. Way to have my back.

Edit: Sorry for the OT rant. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

How stupid I feel. I'll try just leaving the collar a little loose. No-spill can does look interesting.

Fechmup - are you talking about something like this?

Yes - but these are the specific cans I have. My local Ace hardware carries them. I've had a couple for over 10 years without a problem.
