Safety Gas Cans

The EPA "carb" cans were NEVER designed to be "safe" for the USER.

They were designed to "save the world" of carbon fuel vapors.

In reality they are far more dangerous for the user AND the world since no matter how careful you are you ALWAYS end up spilling fuel all over the item you are attempting to fill.. Causing a greater risk of fire, wasted money in fuel and not to mention MORE fuel vapors ending up in the air..

Those new can manufacturers should be mandated to automatically give you lifetime hazmat cleanup kits..

The mods in the video are dead on and make the can MORE environmentally friendly by not spilling fuel each time you attempt to use it.

I personally have adapted older style spare spouts I had laying around and added replacement closeable air vents to mine.. Now they work better and are no longer a hazard to me and the environment.

This has been my experience also! :M

Warning to those who want to do this mod... Read the comments after the video and you will see that the rubber valve stems do fail because they aren't meant for use with gas.
