Vent For Plastic Fuel Cans

Vent For Plastic Fuel Cans FARM SHOP Maintenance “I despise those ‘safe nozzles’ found on fuel cans because they’re such a pain to deal with so I came up with my own vent for plastic fuel cans ” says Brent Gill Springville Calif He drilled a hole in the top of the can that’s the same size as a tubeless tire stem He pushed a length of wire through the hole and then out the filler spout hole He removed the valve cap and core from a tire valve stem and threaded it onto the end of the wire then pulled the stem out through the vent hole “The hole I drilled is small enough that the larger bottom section of the stem’s valve could be pulled through ” says Gill “I put a washer on top of the can and then pulled the valve through the washer Even when the can is tipped over fuel won’t leak out With the core valve removed it’s easy to fill a tank because the air rushes in through the valve once the cap has been removed ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Brent Gill 33979 Globe Dr Springville Calif 93265 ph 559 359-4197; brentg@ocsnet net
