Here is an inexpensive spout alternative for the Scepter 5 gallon can.

Neat. I'll try it tomorrow if Lowes has all the parts.

the mettle ones work the best and look the part , at the MTA show at least they come pretty cheap....

 

[Tinwoodsman]

I have searched all over for a "look the part" type spout and have had no luck. I am not familiar with the "MTA" show. Can you fill me in?

i have the metal cans will it work for those?

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Scott, are you referring to the home made spout on the metal cans?

 

[srodocker]

was wondering if home made spout will work with the metal cans. im being a noob here i should know hehe

 

[FormerNewMVGuy]

The threads are the same on both cans , so it will work on either.

anybody got a good replacement for those new EPA spouts on a regular can? I used one once, and returned it straightaway, after it leaked like crazy when I was emptying it into my motorcycle tank. Come to find out, you can't get a regular nozzle on a plastic gas can anymore...

Cool idea, I will try to make one.

ya those don't work to nicely.I was gonna buy some new fuel cans but didn't like the idea of how they work..Looked like a good way to spill fuel all over the place

it's an excellent way to spill fuel all over the place and create a fire hazard.

 

[Jimma]

Panshark, if you not careful you are going to spill that big gulp as well!

You're right. We should use the No Spill/No Pour/No Flow kiddie safety spout that they come with now. I thought I was smart enough to tie my cans down and pour fuel like a big boy, but CARB says no.

LOL - I've thrown the safety CARB spout away on every new can (three now) in the store trash can. Not even worth bringing home. The good ole fashioned spout from eBay (and under my truck's box seat) is just fine.

Since this version fits the inside threads of the MFC spout opening, it should fit the inside threads of the old metal Blitz style jerry can. This the metal jerry fuel can that has the round threaded cap, not the Nato type with it's trapazoidal cam-lock cap.

I don't know how well this version fits the MFCs though. I have about three of the MFC spouts, so I'm more than good.

Thought i would post this , for those with bigger wallets....I was paging through my supplyline today and noticed that beachwood canvas will sell you a metal spout witha canvas cover for 39.95. A little pricey for those just wanting a spout, but the canvas covers are pretty fargin nice, and the spouts are original us spouts

All the original metal spouts i have bought, have been at military shows and swapmeets, so those wanting the real thing ,just keep your eyes open at the shows

Jimma, FYI that's not an EPA certified straw on my big gulp. It vents into the atmosphere. I don't have to worry about dripping all over my hands. I need to pick up a supply of them before the EPA puts out a new design.

I really like these spouts http://ezpourspout.com/ez-pour-products/all-products/ They even have an adapter to fit the spouts to either a steel jerry can or a Scepter plastic can. Much better that those crappy EPA spouts.
