I know this topic comes up from time to time so my apologies if I'm boring you, but I just had to 'vent'..
I've been lucky in that the past 30+ years I've been using the same 5gal and smaller plastic fuel cans. They work great.
Having teenage boys doing odd jobs and using OPE, my trusty little ~1gal plastic can I use for premix came up missing. Of course no one knows anything. It vanished into thin air.
Wanting to replace it I picked up a little ~1gal midwest can company model. What an absolute abomination this thing is! It's about impossible to use without dribbling or spilling fuel and you need extra limbs and fingers to even get it to start spill... I mean dispense fuel! I want to throw it every time I use it.
I thought the manufacturers did this to storage cans for the environment, but I suppose it's to make it so if it blows up in your face, the onus of responsibility is not on them because of all these ridiculous dummy features on them?
