According to the United States Enviromental Protection agency:
Amount of oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez: 10.8 million gallons
Amount of gas spilled annually refilling gas mowers: 17 million gallons
:frown:

They must believe everybody is using those leaky "spill proof" cans.

I've used these No-Spill cans, and they are quite nice. The larger 5-gallon version does tend to chug and "inhale/exhale" when really full...but never spills a drop

Caveat: I work for Honda, who sells the No-Spill cans...

I have these and I love them! Wish I had bought them sooner, I wasted a lot of money on other brands that cost just as much. Do they make a diesel can?

when they get near empty, do you have to tip the thing over and upside down to get the rest of the gas out?

Not sure...when it gets that close to near empty, I just refill it. Never tried to totally drain it completely empty.

I guess you could just remove the nozzle/cap and pour out any remaining fuel.

your're right. but then you have to get a funnel and stuff. alot of the new gas cans you have to tip way over. i broke my 5 gallon so its just a regular can but is non spill also. my 2 stroke can is a 1 gallon where you slide the sleeve back and it pours out the end. its one of the better ones that i have used

The EPA was formed around 1970... If it had not been, we would not be able to see through the air today... plus we would not be breathing it today, I recon not many of those griping about EPA regs were not around in the late 60's early 70's when smog alerts were a daily event in larger cities...
I have No idea how much fuel is spilled refueling mowers, but I have seen a Lot spilled just watching the few people I have, carelessly over fill small engine tanks, un-burned hydrocarbons vaporize into the air. If folks were to be just a bit more responsible we would not need hundreds of regulations controlling how we handle our daily lives. Fortunately for all of us, someone noticed that we are not too careful with things that gradually change our environment. They spotted that clear back in the early seventies... and we've made it over 40 years farther down the road, still being able to see through the air & mostly able to breath it.
I myself don't care for all the regulation & compliance required, but I'm sure glad someone saw the need back then....

I am against government encroaching in our lives as much as most, but thank goodness we have some control to help keep our enviroment healthy for us and our future offspring. The picture below shows what the effects are in countries such as China where they have no controls on your neighbor polluting your enviroment and let the people suffer with unhealthy conditions to live with.

Can any one find a good gas can with a spout that works?

This is what I bought, and it works perfect with those stupid vent free spouts plus it closes tight to keep fuel, and vapors in.

nice video thanks. I fuel up on my cart if I need to or at a gas station. I have seen a lot of mowers for sell that have caught fire because of fuel spillage. My new scag has 2 tanks so I just fill up and I'm good for the day. But this will work for my push mower and weed wacker

I agree the EPA is a necessary evil.
