Vented Gas Cans Can Now Be Sold

[The motor guy]

Does that mean all my old style blitz cans are no longer worth their weight in gold?

NJ still uses that system .

Doesn't NJ still require gas station attendants to pump gas? No self service.

As others have said, there has been a solution for awhile now:

Do these fit the latest style cans? Midwest I think?

I'm not sure on that particular can. I have three cans that have slightly different threads and this kit worked great on all 3.

I use the replacement spouts (and solid caps) from EZ-Pour on my 5 gallon Midwest gas cans. I prefer the RIGID spout, but the Hi-Flow spout also works well. The yellow EZ-Pour base cap fits Midwest cans. Works great if you install the vents shown in Post #5.

I just buy the kits to refit my gas can, they sell that at Menards right next to the cans. Drill a hole for the vent, push in the vent, throw away just junk spout and swap to the good ones with a simple cap on them. Be nice if we could go back to not having to buy a $10 kit to make a gas can work properly again. EPA isn't going to stop me from having properly working gas cans with their nonsense orders.

have some old storage cans that I put an 1/8” hole in + SST screw

Soooo they still cannot just have a spout and snap on lid to pour the gas? Yep, love my VP's.

On the VP’s - just like the big mouth used with a Mr Funnel …

The story of how government regulation turned good, functional portable gas cans into these stupid, awkward Rube Goldberg contraptions should have everyone up in arms. And they are akin to electric vehicles in that they cause far more environmental damage with the uncontrolled spillage than they prevent. Politicians should adopt this issue. Good citizens should revolt on this issue… and I plan on switching to Jerry cans.

Yes no self service in NJ. I think there is only one other state that does that.
I made the switch to motocross gas cans years ago and tossed those hokey EPA ones.

Make MFCs* legal again! If it's good enough for the military, it's good enough for us!

Yepper, NJ is the LAST state not to have self service for fuel. Oregon was the only other state but they recently allowed self service.

Very nice. The EPA cans were a complete scam.. The Obama era cans were allowed to be sold on the same shelf as the retro kits. I can’t think of any other time this has legally happened.

The only thing I found those to be any good for is for putting a squirt of gas in stuff with a tiny fuel tank like a chainsaw.
