Upgraded Fuel Gas Can Vent Caps With Lanyard Attachment - Improve Gas Can And Tank Flow - Kit Of 12 For Quick Dispensing From Water Jugs And Fuel Tanks Review

I HATE the "new" style gas spouts. They're bad enough that the "aftermarket" has responded with "old" style spouts and breathers.These are a nice addition to an old style spout, to add a vent cap to a fuel can. They are easy enough to install, and so far have not leaked. My only complaint is that the rubber internal square ring ripped, but I was able to fix that with a new o-ring. Also, if the cap had a tether, they would be perfect.

Several buyers indicated that some of their cans had an internal filter sleeve that prevented running the installation wire out the spout opening. Three of my diesel cans had these sleeves. In each case, I was able to pry part of the sleeve away from the internal wall of the opening and then use vice grips to yank it out. After installing the vent cap the sleeve popped back into place with a firm strike of the palm. Wham! Also, after putting the internal components on the wire, use your vice…

These vent caps are a quick and easy install of you're I'd say Level 3/10 savvy or above.Comes with a bendable wire for you to guide the fitting into the hole. I recommend bending the wire into a 'J' at the end to allow it to grip the fitting and you can pull the wire through because the drill bit taps a *slightly* tight hole.I instead of using pliers to keep the fitting from spinning I used a low-torque impact gun and a 13mm socket to gingerly zip the two ends together.Made for a nice clean…

Absolutely awesome. If you hate the way the new gas cans are made, which everyone does, then get these. By having a smooth flow of fuel out of the gas can instead of the glug glug you get without a vent, you spill less fuel and get less fuel on yourself.The government really and truly screwed the pooch by forcing companies to make these new gas cans without vents. Until some sanity reaches our government and they change the stupidity. This is the best you can do.

Very sturdy and leak proof, my biggest complaint is you have to take the cap all the way off to get it to work and it's something small you have to not drop or misplace. Makes the flow super fast at that point, be ready to over fill your lawn mower in a split second. Wish it had a little more variable flow, it's all or nothing though.

A bit difficult to install, specifically keeping the inside piece from twisting while tightening the outside. Drilling was easy and using the included wire to get the valve seated in the hole was pretty straightforward. I only got it rightfully hand tight but it’s been liquidproof and vaporproof now for many months. It’s easy to use and makes the flow rate fantastic.

Venting a fuel can, especially the plastic ones we have today allows for an easier pour. The safety caps they use on the fuel cans are difficult to use for senior citizens. The safety caps require you to hold and squeeze the cap to release the fuel. For older folks, like me, I suggest using the smaller capacity fuel cans if you want to use the safety caps.When you drill the holes, watch carefully that no plastic particles fall into the gas can if you do not have empty cans. Plastic particles…

Several of my gas cans were a real pain to use since they didn't have a vent. Now I can pour gas from them quickly! Thanks for attention.

Was glad to get these. I'm sick of the gas cans without the vents. I had previously just drilled a little hole, but then you get some leakage. Installing these isn't too difficult but cannot be rushed. Kit comes with the wire down in the instructions.

Most of the vents did not leak at all, One can vent has a slight leak which most likely was my error. it's full of gas so i will have to wait until the can is empty to take it out to examine it.

These are far more functional than other types of vents installed after throwing out your government mandated spouts. They are a bit tricky to install and you really need to do it on a can which is empty. Not so much for a potential fire, but because you cannot avoid dropping plastic fragments in the can when drilling the hole. They work well, but be sure to find a flat spot so the o-rings can seal.

The vents were easy to install, except that the outside o-ring wanted to roll and spin out from under the cupped washer while being tightened. So I lubed it up with petroleum jelly and held the cupped washer in place with needle nose pliers while tightening down the nut. Then it went together smoothly.

These work great. I bought these to replace the version I had without the cap retainers. After dropping a couple of caps and not finding them I replaced mine with these. The retainer is worth it.

I love these things but a word of advice. Think about where you will be putting them before hand. Think about where the gasoline will be when yo turn you can over to pour. You don’t want it coming out of these when you pour. Not all cans are created equal, but these are lol.

Take a little time to read their GREAT install guidance. Advice to use a older metal coat-hanger, (If you can find one anymore} ? Dam-it when all the old hangers are gone what the heck are we backyard mechanics going to do w/o having that much needed "Straightened Coat Hanger" Hopefully soon, we'll see in the Auto, an Lowes/Home Depots will start selling straightened mild steel bendable 24" to 36" length's --- 1/16" to 1/8" straighten round steel wire (rods) "Listen up" you entrepreneurs first…

Easy to install, drill bit included, leak proof; wish cap had lanyard to secure to stem, to keep from losing cap. The lanyard may fray and become unusable over time.

I could not tighten as tight as I would’ve liked to. But still a good product! I saved money by this item, without replacing 5 gallon gas cans.

I'm using this vent on a diesel tank that fuels a small diesel heater in my overland trailer. For most applications it's probably an effective solution.In my case I'm hauling the tank inside a plastic bin or directly in the nose box on the trailer, and there is always some diesel leaking from it when we've been driving around. It appears that it's leaking at the actual seal to the tank (which is a metal container), rather than the vent cap itself. I've solved this problem by simply reducing the

They were a little tricky to install but I liked the fact that the screw on caps are secured with a strap so they won't get lost or fall off .

Easier to install than it looks. The drillbit pulled the plastic out of the can eliminating the potential contamination. After that, it's just being coordinated enough to get the fitting in. I was ready to toss my old gas cans because they were so annoyingly slow.
