Here’s the deal:
Manufacturers need to meet regulations. They also need to sell their products at a price that sustains the business. Consumers need to be able to buy products at a price they can afford.

Plastic cans with spring loaded spouts meet regulations and are cheap, but are not easy to operate.
Just man up and put up an extra $25 to buy the better gas can once and just be done with it.
