I've got one of these and I like it a lot but the nozzle that comes with it is a leaky POS and now broken.

Unlike a military Jerry can this comes with the screw fitting the same as the usual plastic cans you buy with the appalling safety nozzles.

Does anyone know of a direct pour metal nozzle that fits a standard gas can thread? I've tried plastic ones and they always leak gas on me.

For that direct one, I don’t know a link to send you to, but if you go on eBay and find Canadian sellers, they can still buy normal gas nozzles, and they sell them to Folks in USA.

It's already full of soy, estrogen mind control drugs and The Ghey. Little gas ain't gonna hurt nothing.

I have a can with this type of nozzle.

Man, it pisses me off so much. I want to find who invented it and kick them in the balls 50 times or until they turn into mush.

I'd say pour the gas over them and light them on fire but you need three bloody arms to use the nozzle.
 
So the best I can tell you are supposed to turn the can over and then push the black finger thing against the fill hole on the tank and squeeze the red safety dingus? I ALWAYS end up with gas on my hand squeezing the dingus. What am I doing wrong?

Also if you just Amazon "gas can nozzle" a bunch come up of the "old" style we all want.

Yeah I found those, but I was hoping for a recommend from someone not in China lol
 
It's still plastic, but harbor freight has replacement nozzles with the flex tubing and no safety. The problem I have with those cans is no vent. So it takes forever to pour. I bought a vent kit to remedy that, but haven't installed them yet.

Correction: Not harbor freight, Tractor Supply has the nozzles.

I have a couple sets of surgical gloves to use while I fill my mower.
Still get gas everywhere.
 
Just buy this and a replacement spout. Green is cheaper than red, if you don’t care about DOT compliance.

Wow, prices for those have gone down. I have those on all my cans and they're awesome. No leaks. And the hole needed for the vent is 1/2".

If you break the safety thing they work pretty good for top fill tanks.

I got mine from Agri in Garner. I hate the $15.99 price for one. But when you have the market cornered, pricing is what YOU set it at, not your competitor.

Temu is an app recently found. It has a ton of cheap Chinese crap like gas can nozzles. It takes some time to get but is legit. 3.881685323217327.png
