How Government Wrecked the Gas Can

PS, if you take the seals out of most of these cans, they seal fine with plastic to plastic screw pressure.

I think for now, we should live it up in these good old days when you are allowed to use bottled fuel at all.

Perhaps some of us are too concerned with all the crap that is changing and we forget the key fact that these messed up policy and law changes do not come with any kind of follow up to see if they are working. In reality if you have 10 and then someone takes 1 that they will never give back, we waste our time complaining about the 1 vs. enjoying the 9 we have left...make that 8, no 4, wait 1, now we have something to defend....oh my goodness we should have done something earlier, now we have 0.

My gas cans are all only a couple years old and have vents. Just get them from a store that sell motorcross gear or any kind of race shop. They work much better and faster than those crappy red ones and are built much better too. The regulation morons haven't messed with these yet.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Wouldn't it make more sense to mandate charcoal evaporator canisters on all gas cans like cars have? It could be microprocessor controlled and have lithium batteries powering up the electronics. What could possibly go wrong with that? :)
I'll see about patenting my idea, I'll be rich! $$$ It should only add about $100 to the cost of a gas can, no big deal.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

You forgot to add solar panels to the can to charge the lithium batteries. :biggrin:
