That right there is some solid ingenuity Mark.. Solid design... Kudo's.. I too use the VP jugs, wish I had a 3DP sometimes..

 

It should work fine provided that you torque it to specs! 😜

 

Here anyhow gasoline cans must be Red in color.

 

Well my cans are special cans they change color based upon the contents!

 

Seriously, I believe that (at least on a Federal level) that can color is dictated by OSHA regulations, now states may have their own laws.

Justrite explains why manufacturers produce different colored safety cans and how color-coding our OSHA-approved safety cans keeps us all safe.

That's pretty sweet, nice work!

 

I kind of like this design, it had a built-in cap.

 

That is fricken slick! I really need to get a printer.

 

I use the LC2 cans, I like the handle layout better. Also have a few of the cheap buc'ees cans, they look like a VP knockoff, and are OK for a backup.

As for the color codes, gas cans also require spill proof (ironic name considering) nozzles....these racing fuel cans, if you read the fine print, are usually marked with something indicating they are not to be used for fuel lol.

I could care less about the color codes and the spill requirements, both are stupid IMO.

I have some of those "Fill proof" cans for diesel and around the house stuff, first thing I do is eliminate those and put a vent into the can. https://www.amazon.com/Zxglxinyao-Replacement-Nozzle-Spouts-Gasoline/dp/B0CJ2JJ9DK

Makes them usable again.. I also have one of these for the little gallon mix gas we use in the weed whacker and chainsaw

I have been to California (of all places who BTW was solely responsible for those stupid gas nozzles being thrush on the other 49 states) and was able to fill them without any issues

 

I moved the key to the top of the spout in order to strengthen it. This has to do with how the spout is printed.

 

I'm glad I still have about a dozen old 6 gallon plastic cans from the 70's & 80's.

 

I use the LC can also. I think I lost the the cap that the tool would work on! I only have the cap on the end of the hose now.

 

I just leave the hoses on all the time? Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

 

You could but in the back of my Pickup I have a cover that I cannot close because the hoses extend above the sides of the pickup. Also, if the cans do happen to fall over the chances of the spouts breaking is fairly high.

 

That makes more sense now. I don't have that problem lol. I have no bed cover and when I take mine camping they are secured in the garage of my toyhauler.

 

Appreciate it @markgam !

 

Good color selection 👍 👍 😁

 

Nice work. I’d love the file.

 

I'm me with an email address and I'll send both files. I keep meaning to setup an account on Printables.

 

Looks good. I have a similar

thing, but I find after I pour out the gas, the filler tube gets very hard to remove, so I made a key and a wrench.

 

Yes I had the same problem this morning.

 

 

I was filling up one of my lawn mowers with the can I got from buc-ee's, and figured I'd look and see if it had that disclaimer on it and sure enough, there it is.

 

I love my "agricultural containers". I will never buy another "gas can" again.

 

Great find! I'm going to print some of these to fill my smudge pot at camp. Always spill diesel when putting it in and and out. Makes a bug fire ball. This should work nicely.

 

Here is the STL files, versions 1 (Side), 2 (Top) and 3 (Bottom)

Note: Just lop off the ".txt" Enjoy

 

I leave the caps on. The if I need to pump fuel I use my battery powered pump. Works great!! I do carry one spout as a backup just in case the pump fails. I sure don't miss picking up the 6 gallon jugs.
