If you have purchased a fuel can in the last few years in the United States, you know the socialist stupidity that is the California Air Resource Board.

Rest of the world fuel can:  Flows quickly, safely, and reliably.

U.S.A. government retarded fuel can:  Causes dangerous spills.  Increases air pollution.

As with all communist nonsense, the Free Market finds a way around it.

These filler hoses are available at many farm and ranch supply stores.  $10 each.

No more suffering back pain.  No more fire hazard fuel spills.  No more broken nozzles.  Less expensive fuel evaporating into the atmosphere.

I never understood them until after 10 minutes of trying to make sense of their picture directions. Those gas cans are abhorrent and leak everywhere.

America, fok yeah...

That regulation was initiated by some overpaid politician who has never poured gas from a can or a hose even. He pays someone to do.
Most major decisions are made by people behind a desk who have never lifted a finger in manual labour and don't have a clue as to what they're talking about.

I bought a plastic can recently from one of the big box stores. Like someone else said, you have to hold the base of the spout down in order for it to flow. All fine and good except that it leaks and I always end up with gas on my hands and around the mower. Lately I've been pouring it without the spout attached and it's better. Just gotta have good aim

I have never actually seen the second version of that gas can
And I am happy that I have not since it sounds like it just makes a mess of things

How did we manage to use gasoline without blowing ourselves up for so many years before our benevolent masters got around to protecting us? I can sleep better now knowing that my gas cans are spilling fuel all over me instead of spontaneously exploding.

With a lot of luck :).

This is a normal image on  what kind of gas cans are used down here.

I've seen people filling 2l bottles with gas a few hundred times and till now I haven't heard of them causing explosions :).

styrofoam cups on the other hand...

Reminds me of those low flow shower nozzles caused by government regulations to limit water usage...so companies started making multi-head shower nozzles to bypass the regulations:

The nanny state in Oregon made it illegal to fill up your own gas tank at the gas station.

A gas can fitting like that would indeed be interesting.

Much more annoying than the can it self, is to be without gas, having to walk to a gas station with the first bottle we could find, and they refusing to sell gas saying that we have to have a gas can.

New Jersey is the same way. The first time I was there I was given a warning for trying to pump my own gas. Really weird stuff but at least people from New Jersey and Oregon are spared from the constant gas pump explosions in all the other states. Oh wait.....

I also bought a new fuel can when I bought my EZ-Pour.

The cashier lady was ribbing me. She said "Now don't put that nozzle on this new gas can or I'll have to call the police on you!".

We laughed. The great god FedGov grows more irrelevant by the day.

I look forward to the day when Americans can purchase fuel-efficient small Diesel cars like people can in Britain, Japan, Australia, Germany, et al.

Such cars are prohibited in the United States in order to protect domestic automobile corporations from competition.

My friends in Mexico love these things...

Wow, lol. What is this shit? Regulated gas cans?

You can't pump your own gas in some states?

What is the reasoning behind any of this garbage? Safety? Safety from what? Gas doesn't ignite very easily at all. I've seen someone put a cigarette out in gas before, it's flammable of course, but not as much as most people expect it to be.

Go read the Joyous works of the 12 socialists on the California Air Resource Board (http://www.arb.ca.gov/board/members.htm) who rule Three Hundred Million Americans...

It can ignite easily ..

But that law about pumping your own gas reminds me that we have the same rules here when filling your tank with  for GPL  ( or LPG i think in english).

As usual, the govs cure is worse than the disease.  >:(

Oh my god, that guy must be the stupidest person ever. First, lighting the lighter, then pulling out the gas and spraying it all over his wife like that. She would have been fine and just run away if he hadn't have done that.

Actually it is the vapors which ignite, the liquid does not.  The vapors do indeed ignite easily.  THe issue is how rapidly or when does some of the gas evaporate to form the combustible vapor.

He didn't spray gas towards her.
The moment the vapors caught fire he panicked and he tried to pull out the pump to stop the fuel. Not such a bright idea.

That's one of the examples why the law about own refilling got in place.

Reminds me of another freak gasoline fire accident:
