Ever since EPA has been regulating gas cans they keep changing their requirements. Each new EPA approved gas can has been a disaster requiring new purchases and each one no better in design than the previous one. In addition the price has gone up with each new incarnation. At least the OSHA metal cans make some sense.
I just tried the latest epa approved can and the retracting projection that is supposed to catch on the filler opening does not work quite right so that like all the other epa approved designs it spills gas on the ground. That is why I wear nitrile gloves when using one of these t***s.
The metal drums shown are at least less likely to do this because the user has more options when dispensing gas. Isn't that more important than satisfying one safety requirement while creating two more problems in its place?
It is a lot easier to make a label and change the color of a gas can/container than it is to bubba a really, really bad design.
An analogy comes to mind. How often do you go to Walley World and try to remove a shopping cart from the long chain of them that each is nesting in. The greatest problem is getting the little seat belt straps loose that tangle in the preceeding cart. Have you actually ever seen anyone using one of these straps to secure a child? You can't fix stupid.
