OK. We all know the frustrations we have went through with Obama's gas cans. They suck, we all know it, and we have spent our money to fix them. Now we have another Obama left over to fix, Turkey Cookers or any other LP appliance.
I got a new turkey cooker yesterday and it had this bullcrap on it that I had to reset every 15 minutes or it would shut off the gas and make the cooker go out. Needless to say, it has been fixed so it will run properly, but why did I have to waste my time doing this. I am not as stupid as Barrak Obama, so why do I have to waste my time fixing things designed to keep him from hurting himself? Someone as stupid as him, needs hurt.

Really, the gas cans suck for sure, even though they aren’t horrible for filling a weed eater or chainsaw, running five gallons out of it sucks though, I usually just take the top off and use a funnel in that case but this is the first I heard anything about turkey cookers.

we have new cans in Canada ... where they put the frigging vent back in

Yep, I have maybe five or six jerry cans, whats hard to find is the big spouts for em.

[aarmga]

Yes they are.  I've been more than happy just to have the pop cap and vent on the their end.  Simple and effective.  I even like the easy pour for my small engines with the button on the end to start and stop fuel flow.  Everything else really sucks imo.  For my small tractors that hold more than 5 gallons I have resorted to the "race fuel" gas cans.

Nobody has found the retrofit kits at Mills Fleet? It's marketed as a "replacement spout" but comes with a new spout and barbed, push-in vent. Throw that old schnoozlepecker in the dumpster, drill a 1/2" hole in the back, pop the new vent into that hole, put the new spout on, and you now have a functional gas can again. The kits are like 9 bucks and work awesome

So happy to have some old ones in good condition. All of the newer fuel containers have a coreless shrader valve on the backend for ventilation, works great.

I started buying Eagle Safety cans.  They're metal with a spring loaded metal cap with a gasket and a funnel you put on the spout to pour them.  They meet all of the same standards but pour like a regular can should.  They also hold up better to abuse than a plastic can and if you store fuel, metal doesn't allow the fuel to degrade as quickly as porous plastic does.  With the gasket cap and metal construction, I have no issue transporting gasoline in my station wagon's trunk area because nothing leaks or smells up my car.  Also, they're made in the USA.

Get out of here, I ran away from home when I was 14 in one of those things, that would have been about 1976 I think, by God if you still have one of those vintage units then I should have charged you more money for that Logstor a few years ago.

Sorry, I was totally kidding Slim. I heard that line on That 70's Show like 10 years ago and couldn't resist.

Ha Ha Ha, man oh man I just dated myself didn't I! thanks for the memory!
