    Do any of you know where to find gas cans that dont have this inferior piece of shit safety nozzle on it?

    what happened to the red ones, with yellow/black nozzles and a little yellow flip vent. Those were everywhere, and now i can only find these stupid things

    Same here.... That stupid safety nozzle leaks fumes! The one with the little yellow breather vent poors gas so much faster too!

    I got one from ACE and as far as new safety features go, it's not bad. It's got a lever you hold down instead of that stupid ass thing you're looking at. It doesn't leak and actually pours about as fast as my old non-CARB compliant can. It's got a clear/white hose with a black lever thing at the base to start/stop flow.

    The EPA really has some backwards logic sometimes.

    Oh no, it takes 5 seconds to put the cap on! That's so much vapor pollution!

    It literally takes over 10 minutes to pour out two cans of diesel from these retarded spouts. Let's see, vapors escaping from tractor tank for over ten minutes versus a minute and a half plus the 10 seconds to cap two spouts, uhh wait, is that polluting more? Nah can't be.

    :facepalm:

    edit: wait a minute. They won't make working spouts because they kept getting sued for the idiotic ideas of idiots?! That's even more stupid!

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I have looked high and low but can't find any. All these self venting nozzles are shit. Anyone remember the cans with the simple nozzle and vent on the back of the can that had a plug that you pulled off and the gas actually flowed out nicely? Those were the best, used to have a bunch of them, but as with anything, time took it's toll on them and now I am stuck with all these crappy new kind.
