These are good, if you can't grab a used 5 gallon DEF nozzle left by the trash.
Problem is you still need a vent.
I've used this on more than a couple of cans.
Yes in agree! I have used both types of cans and I spilled more with the vent free cans than I ever had with the original cans., I threw the new cans in the trash. With all of the new plastic fuel tanks on mowers and four wheelers that are not strong enough to with stand the pressure mod the new cans it is just plain stupid to mandate them. Im with you I will be using my original cans.

I remember many years ago, when I was a wee little lad in Minnesota, we used a small one gallon metal gas can to fill the lawn mower. I guess it sealed up pretty good, because one day, I went to fill the mower and it was crushed from the outside in, like an aluminum beer can. I guess the last time I used it was a hot day, and I emptied it, then, after replacing the cap and vent cover must have cooled down substantially to reduce the air pressure in the can and the outside pressure crushed it. I used to be able to take that can, on my bike, to the corner gas station and fill it up for 25 cents!

So ironic that a powerhouse communist manufacturing country has to make and sell products to the US to help us bypass our government overreach....

The environmental fix is one of the most lame things the gubberment has ever done. Only They could take a good idea, let's reduce the fumes, and create a solution that is worse than the problem. Reminds me of the covid solution.

Not a chance. Everything is 20% to 30% higher than it was six months ago. Even here in Montana, plumbers are charging $425 an hour! That's $100 PER HOUR more than last year. Want more shocking news? Wait until you see how much your house insurance went up.Now the question is, will the prices for a 5-gallon plastic can drop from $32 back to $12 like they once were.
NOT.

And I thought that my gas can just had the same prostate problems that I do!Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Instead of whining about government and buying new nozzles, I put vents in all my unvented cans.Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Drill a 1/2" hole and install a tire valve. Amazon.com
Remove the Schrader valve, run a 12-14" piece of baling wire through, and make a hook at the end. Make a slight bow in the entire length of wire. Remove the nozzle and run the wire through the opening and carefully pull the valve stem up through the drilled hole until it's seated.
They don't leak but, if you're a belt-and-suspenders guy, you could put some sealant at the base of the stem where it contacts the can.
Quick and cheap. The can in the foreground, like many cans, has a flat spot tailor-made for a vent, where the manufacturer used old molds with vents.
