Gasoline Cans, Progresso Nuevo
Does anyone know if you can buy a gasoline can in Progresso Nuevo that has the old, simple spout? IE, no govt mandated auto shutoff?

wiltoad, how did you fix it? Drill the guts out of the inside of the nozzle? Maybe try that instead.
Depends on what type. The one I had just had to break off a plastic part. Had to move a lever (A) that allowed you to press down on spring loaded part (B). If you let go of part (B) you had to start all over. I got rid of part (A).- Well, surely, the Mexicans haven't fallen for this nonsense. I'm going to check Progresso Nuevo. Or maybe they buy gas cans from USA?
- The border people probably treat the old type cans the same way they did r12 Freon. They made you take the r12 back.
- This is the first I have read about this. Glad I still have a selection of different size cans. I also have two or three of these siphon hoses. Chris
- I have one of those siphon hoses in my truck box. I use it to empty the 5 gallon diesel container into my truck tank. I just sit it on the truck box, start the siphon, and wait til it is empty. Much easier than when I used to have to hold the heavy jerry can while it emptied through a small spout.
