They should get rid of ALL these cans and go back to regular spouts and funnels. I hate all of these "safety" modifications that they make. Simple is better, i wonder how many people who while trying to make safety spouts pour wind up spilling gasoline all over the place.

Aren't the new cans great? They prevent a few fumes from escaping, while forcing everyone to dump 1/2 a pint of fuel on the ground every time they use it. Way to go greenies...
