Safety Insanity

  1. This is just a simple example of the even more extreme long-housing of small engine plastic gasoline containers.

    It is damned nigh impossible to get modern gas containers to drain successfully using the built-in no-flow spout.

    I say no-flow because that is clearly the priority here.

    The solution is to buy a normal spout off Amazon, intended (I presume) for five gallon water jugs.

    Or buy the D-cell battery operated siphon that pumps gas very efficiently out of your gas container with the idiotic spout/plug removed.

    That siphon pumps a lot of gas very fast. So what is gained by the unusable spout? I suppose it prevents spillage should the container fall off a shelf. Gee, but I can remember the days when one did that with a spout that had a screw-on plug. Of course in those days the container was metal.
