Needed to buy a gas can or two back during the winter for a kerosene heater for emergency use. I thought that by now the mess with the cans would be sorted out. To my mild surprise, not so much. I purchased Sceptor gas cans and quickly found out, a pain to use and kinda useless as is. Without a funnel of some sort can't be used to fill a car or the heater. Watched some youtubes and purchased a conversion kit off Amazon, even came with 1/2" drill bit for vent. I gutted the Sceptor removing the "flame mitigation device" (ha), the Rube Goldberg spout assembly and the plastic collar that locks it. The only thing left, the can itself. Kit came with two different size screw down collars, two types of vents. One a screw down type that would work on my old Gott. I installed clip vent on wider flat part of can rather than top part of handle as I saw some do on yt. The only thing I can see the new design has done is make a market for the replacement kits. The only way to go. Will eventually do other can.
As an aside, I understand why Sceptor Inc. has turned off comments on yt, about these gas cans. Reading comments on the conversion videos, not pretty.
