Video of the week --- An easy way to transfer gas from a container.

During the winter a lot of people at the marina where I keep my boat have to refuel their gas tanks using portable fuel cans. That’s because it’s just about impossible to find a marina still selling gas after the close of the boating season on October 31^st.  That’s why I was very interested when I saw the No-Spill Gas Can at the National Hardware Show. The No-Spill Gas Can is a quick and easy way to fill the lawn mower, outboard motor, or an empty vehicle fuel tank with gas. You just push one button to start the flow, then when it’s full, the auto-flow-stop, stops it. You can save spilled gas the Auto Stop feature. And at the demo I saw their patented nozzle, which flows up to twice as fast as other nozzles. There was no gurgling, spitting or interrupted flow. The smaller No-Spill Gas Cans (1 ¼ and 2 ½ gal) have double wide view stripes on the front and back so you can see the fuel level from across the yard or garage. The spokesperson at the booth said the No-Spill Gas Cans have the thickest skins; 70-100% thicker than most cans. They’ll range in price from about $20 to $32. The same company is making another line of gas cans with not quite as many features for mass-market stores like Home Depot. They’ll be sold under the brand name Easy Can.
