Thread: Gas cans are about to get worse, hooray

    Gas cans are about to get worse, hooray

    I just threw a SureCan into my cart at Amazon, because I already hate most gas cans.

    https://www.kadn.com/content/news/Ne...573513261.html

    A bill tucked into the large spending legislation President Donald Trump signed into law on Sunday will require that portable fuel containers, including plastic gas cans, include "flame mitigation devices" to help prevent explosions from igniting inside them.

    The "Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020'' establishes "performance standards to protect against portable fuel container explosions near open flames or other ignition sources" and directs the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to "promulgate a final rule to require flame mitigation devices in portable fuel containers" within the next two and a half years.

    One type of flame mitigation device, called a "flame arrester," which is usually pieces of mesh or disks with holes meant to disrupt flame, is used in metal "safety" gas cans, fuel tanks, and some containers of other flammable liquids, such as some charcoal lighter fluid brands and even some liquor bottles. But until the new law there was no federal requirement for some portable fuel containers.

    I accept that I am shipping this item to a Canadian address
    I'm always searching to find a gas can I can live with. The only option I keep coming back to is those expensive metal cans with the spring loaded lid release. I understand the hazards of combustion from gas vapor, trained by the Navy to fight aircraft fires, but this is absurd.

    Soon enough one won't be able to carry gasoline in any container without a permit from the fire marshal. Read this and sign here. That will be 10 bucks. Good for 30 days.

    Dammit! Well, I'm glad I got mine while I could.

    Time to tap a spigot on to your old beater car, and just use it as a transfer tank when you need gas somewhere else.

    If the po po caught you with that you could become the next person to go on the terrorist watch list.

    I honestly believe this is their way of trying to keep us from using internal combustion lawn and recreational equipment. Doesn’t CA already have something like that- where you can’t buy gas powered lawnmowers or trimmers these days?

    Jesus. How about you don't let kids pour gas into fireplaces?
