Maybe they want to prevent arsonists from cooking themselves, seems to be a bigger problem lately. I'll just keep my containers.

Just an attempt to ban most of these items
“Just an attempt to ban gasoline”.

Make it more difficult and more costly to use and you have effectively begun a ban on the substance itself.

Those of us who need or prefer liquid fuel devices might need to start paying attention to the drug cartels - drugs are “banned” yet they find ways to have them everywhere…..

What is a flame arrestor on a gas can?



Image result for What does one of these gas can flame arrestor look like


A flame arrestor is a small device, similar to a mesh screen, in the nozzle of the can. The screen helps prevent vapors in the gasoline container from igniting. Such a device is required on metal gas cans. Required on metal cans already and about to be required on plastic cans.
Don't quote me but one of my gas cans is a 6 gal water can. I see no difference. It looks and works like a gas can. I installed a vent like my other cans and it was cheaper than a gas can and it held more fuel... so I've been using it for about 8 years. Oh - it's blue.

I knew a guy who was sort of accident prone. He wanted to see how much gas he had in the tank of his motorcycle so he held a lighter to the gas tank opening to look inside...........

It's hard enough getting gas out of them now. I made my own spout out of conduit. Works like the old ones.

I think they just want to discourage buying gas, so we'll buy $10,000 battery powered push mowers every three years. Someone high up probably owns stock in a Chinese lithium mine and battery factory.

Cannot fix stupid.
Responded to a guy who was cleaning car parts with gasoline on his fireplace hearth. Last thing he ever did.
