That’s right. I have seen more than 1 Gubmit post emissions diesel pickup with NO DPF or DEF.
I have 2, 5G Eagle safety cans. I used to really like to use them, but at 82 I can no longer squeeze hard enough to keep the vent cap open.
Yes, many trucks in government service are not subject to the government's regulations for us little folk. But I was referring how government regulators writing regs for gas cans do not use gas cans themselves. Don't mow lawns. But feel their superior intellectual powers, having contemplated the situation, have rightly determined Things Must Change, and so dictate that we obey.
I think you’ll find the next few years may show some changes in the typical bureaucrat/faculty lounge thinking we have seen for many years.
These are GREAT cans which we have a few of. For easier pouring, try putting a small screwdriver under the fill cap so as to let air in and you aren't doing it yourself. Seems that would lessen the force to keep them both open while pouring? Another idea is to get a velcro strap made for cords, put in on where you are normally holding the can, while pouring. If installed and tight, this would hold both lids open for you.
Holly tariff Batman.
All the ones I got were made in American but cost $125.
100% - I got rid of all my crappy plastic cans with the EPA restrictive spouts and broke down and paid $$$ for Justrite ( painted galvanized) gas and diesel cans that my kids will inherit. they are safer and pour fantastic, in the long rum they will be cheaper.
I am starting to have same issue, I think the Justrite cans are a bit easier. The eagle is way better than those plastic and with the sping loaded spouts
Had one from harbor freight that lasted 4 years, replaced with one from Amazon that has a nozzle that can be locked on. Going to give it a try, same price as harbor freight.
lee zeldin strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Make Gas Cans Great Again by Improving Flow | US EPA
Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued letters to portable fuel container (PFC or gas can) manufacturers encouraging them to add vents to gas cans to ensure safe and effective refueling.www.epa.gov
Could only hope so. That's What I Voted For™.
I use 5 gallon "utility cans" with a big screw on cap. Put one of these through the
I’ve got one of those racing jugs and I have the elbow for it that puts a bend in it but I hadn’t seen the add on with the valve. Looks like helps.
My first gas can was galvanized steel and lasted less than a dozen years before I had to replace it due to a leak from rust. I'm guessing that was in the mid 1970's. I'm still using it's plastic replacement along with a dozen others I purchased at a garage sale for $2.00 each. I will admit that only about three of the spouts are still serviceable and it's time to buy some. All of the cans have vents.
