    Excellent ideas ! You can also take the red button nozzle apart and remove the spring inside making it manual operation.

    Nice video. I have improved my diesel fuel, and gas cans, as well. A couple simple changes, makes them so much more user friendly. In my opinion the new cans on the market are pretty useless off the shelf. I would consider the ideas you have here, a must do, before putting the cans to use. Like you said, the spout designs the manufacturers are forced to use nowadays, are junk.

    I ended up sticking with one of the battery fuel transfer tools. My canisters are big and it’s easier that way for me. That one looks nice John, but I agree that most spouts are garbage and you found a good solution. Cheers.

    Yes the gas can spout issue is a real thing thanks for sharing !

    We all feel your pain, Jon! I like the idea of the rigid spout, and also buying the vents in bulk. I've purchased replacement spouts, but almost always the rubber gasket deforms, and then the whole spout ends up leaking at the base. Would love to know how these hold up. Also, the vents that came with my spouts had no positive "click" and so wouldn't stay closed...clearly not an issue for yours! Nice job!

    I changed all of my gas cans over to exactly what you used a few years ago and I am so glad I did. So much easier to use especially with the air vents

  • @timwilcoxsr2712

    I bought those same cans at our Tractor Supply and I also bought every kit they had for the different nozzles and the vent cap. They no longer carry those and now I find myself taking off the bigger nozzle to put on the other cans.

    I use a shaker hose that I bought from harbor freight. It's nice not having to hold a fuel can while filling with fuel since my fuel cap is on the hood.

    I cut the locking tabs off also. I even cut them off my mouthwash bottle. LOL

  • @rodbagley1686
    @rodbagley1686 14 годин тому

    100% correct. Those things are totally crap. Got the same spouts for mine. Although I did get 2 of the flexible ones. Like them better because I can put them in the filler hole before I tip the gas can up.

  • @larrykluckoutdoors8227

    The batteries transferred pumps are the way to go, I use them in my 5gal cans when I need to fill stuff

  • @marcelaudette8290
    @marcelaudette8290 День тому +1

    Great job Jon,but I have a problem with using a gas can on my Curtis can so I use a 12 volt transfer pump no more lifting the can.

    I bought a solid cap. The can no longer leaks during shipment and I use a battery powered pump.

    • @ritterjon
      @ritterjon  День тому

      That sounds like a great setup. I'll have to look into a battery-powered pump.

    Great idea. My supplied spout broke and I have been balancing over a funnel without anything. That supplied spout is SLOW and PULSED while it GURGLED.

    Runnings carries the SureCan. Same two cans for 6 years no issues. Awesome for BX and automotive no spill no mess easy and fast

    • @ritterjon
      @ritterjon  День тому +1

      That's great to hear that you've had such good luck with your SureCan for so long! My biggest issue with those is the price but they seem very useful.

      Second on SureCan. I only use them now, no more titling to fill. Handy on the 2380 and even more so on the B2601

  • @charlesperry1051

    I have "fixed" several gas and diesel cans with similar products. The stupid new spouts get fuel everywhere EXCEPT where you want it.

  • @danholmblad9925
    @danholmblad9925 День тому +2

    I love the can. But I use the electric pump. 4 aa battery. 3 foot hose. Great for the BX with cabs. Auto value I got it.

    • @ritterjon
      @ritterjon  День тому +1

      Oh yeah, I’m sure that electric pump is nice for those tight spaces. I’ve seen quite a few people use those and they seem to find them very useful.

    The trick to the Black/red one is to keep the red Latch on the bottom.
    But I have since started using the Electric auto-off Pumps. No more lifting and holding...

    A 3/8” pvc plumbing cap typically fits spouts if you loose the original. I keep a handful around, I think I keep the gas station stocked with caps……

    How is the can yellow, but the filler at the gas station for diesel is green?

    • @ritterjon
      @ritterjon  23 години тому

      Not all gas stations are the same. We have yellow and green here, depends on the station.
