I ran out of gas a while back, and had to buy a gas can. For $12 and some change, I got a plastic monstrosity with all sorts of buttons and levers to push, hold down, etc., a fixed and inflexible spout, and it barely worked to pour gasoline. I finally just took off the whole spout "assembly,"rolled a piece of paper for a funnel and poured the gas in the tank. Probably broke 57 safety rules doing that.
I finally found a '50s or '60s vintage gas can and spout. Sturdy sheet metal, and a flexible metal spout. And it didn't cost $12! The problem is that, like the old Jerry cans, there's a lid that screws into, not onto, the back end of the spout. Well, on the one I found, that's missing. Any of our imaginative members have an idea for a replacement?
