Old style gas cans!
06/13/10 at 10:06am

If you got them new syle blitz gas cans ,you can call blitz usa and tell them you have lost the spouts to your blitz 6.5 gallon water jug and they will send you a new old style spout and yellow cap along with the hold down nut/ring! And they do this free of charge! Also you can buy the 6.5 gallon water jug at aubuchon hardware for 12.99$$$ Its the same thing as the gas can only 6.5 gallons not 5!

Vector06 Trail Boss I've Got The Power To Satisfy Posts: 1763 Gender:	Re: Old style gas cans! Reply #7 - 06/16/10 at 10:30am I drilled a hole in the handles of all three of mine to let air in. Plug it with a small screw when not in use. Have to be carefull if the can is really full, but other then that it works better.

Reply #9 - 06/16/10 at 1:50pm That’s pretty funny, I was just thinking this weekend that I should come up with a "replacement" nozzle and vent to convert your un used gas can to a water jug......I think they would sell like hot cakes!!!

Reply #10 - 06/16/10 at 3:13pm Waiting for someone smart enough to take the issue to Federal Court and have pass an Injunction of these new stupid cans being sold in this Country. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the old design... and have yet to see one of these new ones be able to dispense fuel safely without spilling!

Didn't read the whole ad?

This review is from: Mantis Gas Jockey Gas Can 811003 (Lawn & Patio)
The hose is great and has worked well with the 3 different types of gas cans I have. Only gave 4 stars because it is a little misleading; you do not get a can, just the hose.

Read it, but didn't read the reviews. I found an ad for a few more old style plastic cans locally. I may pick them up this week. We'll see. I'm working on another commuter car-picked up a 96 VW golf for the price of two Doo belts in Canada.
