I have some of the new gasoline can with the levers and springs and valves. That function pretty much broke immediately.
I ordered some 'regular' replacement spouts but they are such low quality they just cracked when I tried to get them tight enough to not leak.
Amazon product ASIN B0B59RWBCW
Does anyone have suggestions for replacement spouts that work well?

Outside of replacement spouts I think my best best is to just go to metal cans but I was trying to salvage what I have.

I ordered these a while back and so far they work great. I had some older cans that the spouts were leaking and some newer cans with the crappy spout. These fit perfectly. They come with a couple different threaded options.

This is an Amazon Link. Don’t know why it’s showing up like this though but it’s legit

I bought six 5gal cans several years ago and immediately replaced the spouts with this brand (and added the vents). Haven’t had any issues.

I ordered these a few years ago but the seals have to be replaced a couple times per year. Seals are cheap but I don’t like that they begin leaking and I have to replace them.

These on the other hand have been great. Also have a couple of these for close to 3 years and a similar one that’s white for 5yr, no issues whatsoever.

While this isn’t the solution you were asking about, I highly recommend a can like this. No bs nozzles. They flow good. If you’re ever near a Buc-cees(or however the hell you spell it), they have a can like that for less than $25. I bought two last time we passed the one in Florence and have been pleased with them.
Stick it to the man. Buy a can that doesn’t have all that bs on it

I have one of those blasted red plastic 5 gallon cans, full. The other day, I tried to pour the contents into a vehicle. It was absolutely impossible. 🤬

Screw those O'Bammy spouts.
There's some nice old fashioned vents on Amazon for short money.
That system wasn't broken and needed no fixing. 😎

Those new spouts spill more gas than I ever have, not to mention they’re impossible to use in some situations. But I guess they designed them for the lowest of idiots, so anyone who is not a complete idiot can’t use them effectively.

Tractor Supply has a 5.5 gallon can, opaque white, with the spout for about $21, that is very similar to the VP Racing can. I have 2 and getting another one on my next trip to replace an older metal can. Due to the federal gas can mandate, it says "not to be used for fuel".🤣

Put one of these "hose benders" on it and it works great. I use them to put gas in my vehicles all the time.

Price has gone up like everything else. SKU: 142045299

Yep. I bought the hose Bender’s from Amazon. Makes a world of difference.

I had some jugs like this. I cut the useless green ring off and pulled that plastic trash collector or whatever its called from the inside of the jug. After that I used a battery powered pump I found on Amazon. I still marvel at the ways they can screw up a simple gas can.

That looks familiar. I bought a 3 pack of the cheapest nozzles from Amazon a year or so ago, $12.95 for all 3. All 3 cracked.

I did the JB Weld repair but have since purchased one from Tractor Supply to see how it holds up before buying anymore. So far, so good.

If you use the cap that came with the can they fit better and last a lot longer than the ones that come with the new spout.
