Kerosene cans

Try the oldest hardware stores in your town.

I've spilled more gas with those new-fangled contraptions than I ever did with a can & funnel.

I gave up pouring Kerosene a few yrs ago when I was filling a heater for my neighbor. He had one of these-

No dripping, no lifting. Batteries in mine are 2 yrs old- and hang in an unheated and un-air-conditioned garage.

Your premise may be wrong...that there is one.

Being a scientist, I naturally wanted to see how those cans worked.

I took the spout apart to it's component parts. In re-assembling it, some parts would not re-assemble, but I did find that the spout worked better.

Nothing--they're working to regulation/requirement not of their doing.

try flea market for old cans that work well

the tera pumps work awesome

Thanks for the tip...I'm gonna have one of those but I still would like a new OLD type K1 and gas can..I will have to check the flea markets...

Saw 2 in a flea market today. The 5 gal was $24.95 and the 2 gal was $18.95. Were in somewhat reasonable shape but with old metal cans you never can tell.

Hack saw, fixed mine. Jerry

As of 1/1/09, there is a $500 fine *per container* for anyone selling non CARB compliant fuel containers. Stores may sell existing stocks of pre 2009 containers without penalty, so if you want to replace any containers, you better do so soon. It's hell when the whole USA has to follow screwed up California rules.
