Schweet97Z Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 When I go riding I put a gas can on the back for when I run out, however the can get all dusty etc...Id like to find a gas can that the spout can be either taken off and can caped, or with some kind of retractable spout. Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECshee Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 theres several tanks that have a retractable spout. theyll look like this... rectractable spout before they came out with these new "environment friendly caps", that now look like this spout with store/ pour lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 those ones with the enviromental ones are worthless. i ran one last year and it was great for awhile but leaked like a bitch when it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schweet97Z Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 ECshee, any idea on where to get one. Ive looked alot of places around here, online. All the cans I can find is the environmentally friendly ones.....They work ok for around the house, but for what Im doing with them, they are just a big PITA. Thanks in advance for any help.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Eagle is the kind of can I use. They are made of galvanized metal, and are quite sturdy. They come with a hands free, removable funnel that fits tightly to the spout. They are a little pricey, but well worth it imo. The lid is lever activated and spring loaded, so it seals tightly when you let off the handle. Being metal, they are great to store fuel in also. I bought mine at Lowes.

The only prob with those cans are, they are round and wont fit in my 6 pack rack, and the spout is out in the open to where it can get dusty and I have a greater chance of getting dirt and debris into my gas tank.

jamebo Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Oh okay, I gotcha.. sorry about that, I read through the post too fast and was thinking about the back of the truck at the riding area. Yeah I know what you mean, most modern plastic cans these days have a bad spout design. I remember those that had the pleated spout that retracted back into the can, but haven't seen one in the stores around here in a long time.

I remember those that had the pleated spout that retracted back into the can, but haven't seen one in the stores around here in a long time. Unfortunatly those gas cans are gone. The new safty can's are designed to keep fuel from evaporating. They sell them as safty but it is an environmental issue. I spill way more gas using one of those hokey plastic safty cans vs how much gas I lost due to evaporation with those pleated retractabe spouts. If you look online or in stores you can find replacement acordion / pleated retractable. I bought some cause I figured their production days are numbered.

Gummie_guy Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 i was searching for these too, walmart and all the other department stores only have the new ones. i want to say i saw ones without it at a speedway gas station. im not too sure on the spout design tho. if all else fails go around to garage sales or something.
