    I'm getting this for my dad for Father's Day

    "Gas Can" T-shirt | Vice Grip Garage
    I follow VGG and love his youtube channel. They also donate a good amount of money to veterans organizations.
    2023 Xpress H18 with 115 SHO and Powertech NRS4 21p
    8" Bob's Action Jack
    Garmin Echomap 12, 10, 9, and LVS34 networked with Netgear Switch
    Ultrex
    Trick Steps and Ramp N Clamp
    Pulled by a 2016 single cab HEMI Ram

    Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.

    Happy Birthday to your Dad. Wish you could buy gas cans like those. I'm sick of the "safety cans."

    The worst think about those plastic saftey gas containers is they don’t have a vent so they pour very slow. First thing I do is throw away the safety nozzle and put an old school one on them. Then I drill a hole on the top of the container on the other end from the nozzle.
    I use duct tape to put over the little vent hole when not using.

    I tried changing nozzles. The threads were different.

    I always re-nozzle mine, and then drill a fine thread bolt length ways and across up near the head just below the thickness of the can material to make vents. Just drill a little undersize so they thread themselves, works as good as the original flip cover vents.
