Nit Picking is rampart in this thread
I did notice he failed to blow/vacuum out any plastic shavings.. That is the one truly valid concern in this thread and only one other commented on it.
Safety: THe plastic parts he removed are child safety.. With those parts removed little Johnny can remove the cap.. there are other ways to child proof.
The Rubber vlave stem I seriously doubt gasoline will dislove it in our lifetime
the locking pin on the nozzle.. I would have left that alone (the plastic pin he knows not the function of).
But then pushing the release button is so natural for me I might well not even ralise it is there.
True story.. I onc handed a man the keys to his car.. he was amazed.. he could not get them out of the ignition... It was a sitck shift and to turn the ignition to LOCK you had to press a release lever.. I pressed it automatically and was not even aware I had done it.
With out the locking pin Little Johnny and get gas to spill out of it.
The ones that bother me have the kind of nozzle whre you have to push it hard against the filler tube.. Those are a pain in the anatomy.
OH. and as for getting all the gasoline out.. VERY DANGEROUS
A gas can with gasoline in it WILL NOT EXPLODE,, Neither will a can which has never had gas in it.. But if you drain out every drop the vapor/air ratio inside the can can get into the ideal range and .. DYNAMITE has less explosiv power. THis is why it is designed to make it hard to get the very last cup out.
