Anyone got the figure on how much money the US spent making a "better gas can?"

More gas has been spilled because of those stupid cans than was ever spilled with the old style.

I honestly spill 10x more gas with the spill safe spouts as I ever did with the old school spouts.

VPA makes a 6 gallon version as well.


Tractor supply carries the 5-6 gallon version in most stores.

Absolutely. I have two older cans and two newer ones. The newer ones suck arse and cause me to spill shite all over the place.

Thats not how it works. The US probably "spent" millions on a study. Meanwhile, a lobbyist/cousin/friend of the persons doing said study works on patents for the soon to be approved design requirements...

Boom. generational wealth.

Gas cans designed by regulators who never used gas cans.

Now do ACs, washing machines, and dishwashers before they forever screw those up, too.

I don’t know who manufactures funnels or if the funnel industry is centralized in only a few companies, but either way, the funnel industry just had a bad day.
