Explain It To Me Again

I remember that the whole reason we fucked up gas cans was to keep fuel vapors from escaping into the air and poisoning Gaea.

Well...

How much fuel vapor is escaping into the air and poisoning Gaea from dumping a quart onto the side of the car because half the time you can't get the nozzle in the filler neck without spilling?
 
How much fuel vapor is escaping into the air and poisoning Gaea from dumping a pint overboard because the clever little check-valve thing in the nozzle wouldn't close again when you withdraw the nozzle from the top of the funnel?

How much fuel vapor is escaping into the air and poisoning Gaea from pouring into a funnel instead of having the nozzle inside the filler neck?

It's constantly obvious that the people mandating these changes don't actually have to use the stuff they've caused to change.

  1. Mayhaps it is some conspiracy with people wanting to make money off of new patents for gas cans.

    Or...

    Eco-terrorists are a-holes.

    Maybe both?

  2. A couple of years ago I picked up an H45 medium radiant heater for cheap. All the parts but for the stove pipe.

    I tried to fire it up there other day. There is an adapter to use a 5 gal Jerry can as a fuel source. Unfortunately they have not used cans with that style of opening in years and years.

    In reading reviews the biggest seller for new Jerry cans is replacement spouts as the regular ones don't work.

  4. With a pair of pliers, you can surgerize the BS cap monstrosity and pull it's guts out through it's back end. Saw a friend do it once nah mean? Works much better without the spring loaded BS valves inside.
