Any decent gas cans?

[Touring5]

Anyone know where to find the old metal "goose neck" spouts? I have a couple of old metal cans and have never liked the rigid plastic spouts.

I got one of those Blitz cans with the on/off safety lever, but mine didn't have the flexible nozzle (none in the store had them either). Until I saw this thread I thought the design was just the short (black) nozzle - no wonder I've always thought that was one of the worst cans I ever used....

I believe Blitz can supply you with some of the short, flexible, clear, spouts. I think you can request them on their website. I believe I also saw some for sale at Walmart. Just watch out! They are a press fit on the nozzle and I discovered they loosen up after awhile and can easily slide off. I had one slip off and sink out of sight in my motorcycle gas tank, requiring an hour of draining and searching before I could snag it and pull it out.

Classic case of lawmakers becoming experts on gas cans. For every milliliter that is displaced from the can the same amount of air must be replaced.

Saw some replacement spouts for the EnviroFlo cans for sale at Advanced Auto last night.
