Seems like they the politicians are forcing another useless regulation. I recently bought a little 2.5 gal CARB compliant gas can and I have to work at not spilling fuel when I fill the mower or snow blower. My 15 year old metal can with a vent plug is easier to use. The issue is that CARB rules eliminate the vent hole and require all nozzles to be self venting. The only part of the CARB rules that makes sense to me is the low permeability plastic required in production of fuel cans. I can't see that this change is going to help the environment in anyway. People that are careless will still overfill and spill fuel, people who are careful wont.

Anyway, I just ordered a couple of Scepter Military Fuel Can's (MFC). Very tough to find now. They can't ship to CARB states, and as of Jan 1st, every state is a CARB state.

Yea, I usually spill gas all over the place with those new cans with the hard plastic neck. Leaves a nice brown spot in the grass... Works great for killing grass growing in the cracks in the driveway!

I would say I put more gas in a lake with the jet ski than I ever would by spilling gas from a gas can. Funny politicians.

self venting... I have 2 older metal gas cans where the handle is on the lid. the new ones are self venting, true, but if you put the cap on them and lock in the fumes, the first good winter cold snap will make it flat as a pancake. I've never had to winterize my gas CANS before I've got enough stuff to winterize, put all the old gas in the dakota (318 will drink anything) and throw the empty cans in the shed...done.
