I bet there's a gas can forum somewhere...

I've certainly come across a few spirited threads in my search for something that doesn't suck. Looks like my cheap solution will be:



If the accompanying air valve doesn't work, I've seen that people have installed an old Presta valve (with valve body removed, but keep the cap around to close it up) on the back of the can to avoid the gurgle.

I hang on to my CV cans. I have 4 or 5 in the garage.

I'm not sure removing the vent to reduce fumes going into the air and thus causing spillage of gas on the ground, into the water, down the side of the car, on the hot mower muffler, etc. is really having the intended impact.

And in other weather news: I finally rode the bike to work again this morning. After laying out clothes for 45 degrees, I woke up to the weather telling me it was 30 degrees outside. So I swapped my shorts+knee warmers for my insulated knicker bibs. Did not freeze. Had fun. Roads are much more peaceful with the schools closed for Thanksgiving break. Made me thankful. :lol:

It's 36* outside but I want to go for a ride. Normally I'd throw on my base layers and a jacket and go, but my mind is so ready for skiing.

Must...snow...soon...

Now that we are in the townhome (group of three units), the little there is to do is handled by my old lawn guy and paid for by all three of the owners.
