Not a bad price

Sadly you have to spend another $10 for a real nozzle that works to replace the leakmaster2000 spout

Based on the price, the country of origin and the quality you get...these are a great buy and even after buying a real nozzle, you are still ahead of many other options.

As fare as "compliant" nozzles go they are not that bad. I have 4 I bought last year and yes they leak a little fuel when they vent but they do hold a seal when not in use.

Also whats wrong with the yellow plastic vents? they have worked just fine for the last 30-40 years...

Someone I knew bondo-ed the "NOT FOR" and then painted the cans red, couple years later they're doing great.

While a great price for 4 cans, this statement alone would keep me from purchasing them. Not sure if they stamp that as a loophole to get around some regulation to make them more available to other locations but it does not look good from the purchaser side of things. YMMV

I have 6 Wavian cans, 4 from Latvia, and 4 of the Polish cans from I linked. ALL of them are “copies” of the NATO specs. While I do feel that the Wavian and Latvia cans are SLIGHTLY better, the Polish cans are a much better deal for what you get, and are actually very nice. Kinda funny how you’re bashing them as “copies” and not the “real” deal when you clearly have zero experience with them.

Anyone use the cans from harbor freight? I think they were about $35 minus the coupon.

Ok, had to use the cans tonight and found out what everyone was complaining about. Everytime you try to push the nozzle in the fuel tank opening, it puts pressure on the gas can spout neck spilling fuel everywhere.

So now time to go to AZ and get replacement CA evil nozzles/spouts.

I replaced the nozzles with these.

pours slower but they don't leak.
