Be careful of the new gas cans they have out now. They have a "no spill" nozzle in many states that will spill gas everywhere and drive you crazy. These nozzles are spring loaded, designed to stay in place (with the nozzle adding 6" to the height of the gas can), and must be hooked on something and pressed very hard to get the gas flowing while pouring. I have spilt countless cups of gasoline all over the ground, my boat and the water (which made me feel like puking I'm so against that). I wrote a letter to the manufacturer about the design and while they were nice, they said some states forced them to use this design.

Anyway, watch out for these new "spill proof" nozzles. You'll have gasoline everywhere when trying to use them.
