    So 10% of your tank is bad gas.o_O

    That's too high a percentage for me.

    It's barely good enough to wash your hands after all day of doing a suspension lift or installing sliders!

    Wow. I got 3 that over 20 yrs old and they still work perfectly.

    They are better than metal in that size for my use. We constantly lifting to fill trimmers on racks or 5g mower tanks. Metal kills your arms

    fyi the leaking likely a result of leaving them out in very cold weather. They gonna crack. Mine literally used daily 20 yrs spring summer fall. Zero leaks

    @MikeDeason , did you pour it through any sort of strainer to remove sediment? That would be my biggest concern. I mean, aside from gumming up my injectors.

    How's it running?

    It might be a good idea to go for a drive and burn up a half tank and top off to dilute that stuff.

    For those like me who hate the safety pour shit you can buy a spout and vent kit online that is suppose to fit 90% of gas cans, Ive bought two from my ace hardware and have had no issues

    Its not the spout its the vent.

    yea I had a strainer and it picked up gunk. Truck runs fine so far. I don't anticipate problems. The Seafoam would have displaced moisture

    The EZ pour spouts come w/a vent??

    We talking about different things. The EZ pour spout is in the pic i posted as is the vent and they are separate entities.

    I hate no spill cans

    The EZ Pour stuff comes with a spout(either rigid or flexible) and a vent. It is meant to convert the socialist much spill cans into normal cans. The only thing you have to supply is the hole on the top rear of the can so as to install the vent.

    No spill cans means the gas ends up all over your hands and jeans instead of the ground. I agree they're the worst.
