With gasoline having ethanol in it, which is hygroscopic, you do not want to use vented cans in humid climates. You'll end up with condensate in the can, which will ruin your fuel and equipment.
Good video, great timing. I really dislike those new "safety cans" Maybe I'm old school. I had a similar experience. Mowing lawn. Ran out of gas, grabbed my new and improved safety can and before I realized it was "ballooned " I had the spout in the tank and all that pressure propelled gas everywhere. It soaked me and luckily the engine nor the exhaust were hot. It was projectile vomit Safety my *** Never expected it because old cans never did it
@davep6977 thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t thought of the potential hazard with the can ballooning. If you’ve experienced this, others might as well. Good to know!

@Travis141123 Good to know - Thanks for sharing this!
He called the government designed and mandated spout convenient and a safety improvement. Ha! It's neither!
Haha, well, he definitely did NOT call it “convenient” or an “improvement”. This video wouldn’t exist if that was the case.

I like that music!
Sounds hauntingly familiar, eh???
Put it in the sun for a few mins
That’s right!
"Regular" gas can do the same thing.
They do if they seal off!
How long did it take?
@UnkleBokey About a half hour in the sun.
The sun will fix it
Absolutely
