Vent For Plastic Fuel Cans
“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.”
