Swapping out the slow spout on a Rotopax/Fuelpax to a faster self venting nozzle.

- A quick rundown of the rules gas can manufacturers must follow and how it effects day to day use. I then swap out the "eco" spout that comes with most fuel cans, including Rotopax and Fuelpax, for a self venting option that greatly speeds up the fuel pouring.
I was able to fuel the 4Runner with the 4.5 Gallons in 2 minutes. (Which included a quick phone call that isn't in the video.)

That is the water version of the spout. The seal base on it is smaller than the fuel one. It works, but the seal can tear easily if you over tighten it
On 0:14 you don’t need to completely remove t-handle, just align it to the hole to remove it. On 5:33 a simple flipping the can upside to show it’s not leaking with the new nozzle and old cap is better than just put it back in and call it the day
awesome video! Found this as I literally tore my finger open trying to use the provided spout and will switch to this one.
Thank you. This was exactly the review I was looking for.
Ditto.
Thanks for the quick and clear review! No excessive gabble lol
? A 10-minute video on how to use a spout? My gosh that was painful. Informative but painful
Thanks for the video. I have one of these and was trying to figure this out. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I was spilling so much gas with the original spout.
Same here I was pissed

Thank you! I hate the safety caps on my Rotopax. I was carrying a funnel to bypass them.
Thank you for that video. It was very helpful you actually answered all the questions I had in my head. 😊
Good vid. But reason on why i have a metal gas can is because if the heat. I live in florida and it get too hot in here for a cheap plastic container to have in on the back of my truck. The metal hasnt fail me at all
I wonder if the recent SCOTUS ruling on the EPA will get them out of the over regulation business. I think I will look for an old gas can on ebay.
Did the exact same thing with my Rotopax. After about a year the small yellow cap that goes into the spout cracked and the Rotopax started to leak so I had to replace the cap.
Thanks for the video. That eco nozzle was absolute garbage.
I need to do this
I assume you have to unlock the rotopax from your roof rack and stand it upright before venting it (or fuel would leak onto your 4Runner) is that right? In other words you can't slightly open it to vent while it is mounted and on it's side, is that right?
Just purchased two 1.75 gal Rotopax fuel cans. These spouts DO NOT fit. Can't even get them halfway in. The cans have a permanent plastic sleeve inside the spout, ending in a screen. The throat is too narrow for this. Not too worried, though, as I just keep this spout in my storage box and use it when needed.
Awesome content! Does the replacement work to keep seal while storing fuel? I think may leak?
I have had zero issues with any leaking.
Thanks, that was my question also, good stuff!
How often do you change out the gas? Do you use fuel additives or stabilizers rather? Thanks for sharing
I don't use any additives. I just swap out the fuel every two or three months. It really isn't a big deal. I just dump the fuelpax into the rig and then the next time I need fuel I fill it back up at the same time.
Where did you get this spell I really love it I want one
So no leaks with the new cap? My 4 gallon leaked. Filled it up at 8,000 ft then drove up to 13,000, back down to 8,000 and then back up to 9200 ft parked at a slight downward angle with it mounted flat. Seemed like it didn't leak until the next morning. Will a new gasket fix this?
I just did this 2 weeks ago and the gasoline already destroyed the gasket. It clearly wasn’t a fuel-safe gasket on my water spout.
Hey Jake great video on swapping out the nozzle. I've heard this is the way to do it also. You have solidified the decision to swap! I'm going with the Rotopax 3Gall for my ATV. My question to you is this....mounted flat the way you have it on top of your rig, do you have any issues with it leaking at all over the time you've had it? I will be mounting on the front rack of the ATV flat. TIA, Mark

Sorry I meant where did you get this spout ?
Every car-parts store and gas station (even Walmart) in Canada sell it... Not sure in USA, coz of regulations...
Put the new nozzle and plug in and didn't check to see if it leaks?
Put it on the roof, looked and there were no leaks. Drove to my parking spot by my house and checked, no leaks. Checked several times over the next day or so, no leaks.
Thank you. I hate the spout that comes on the Rotopax. Completely useless and makes a mess.
I have a similar rack and I'm trying to figure out how to attach my rotopax to it. Did you just pic up some t-slot hardware from a local hardware shop? I'm not quite sure how to go about it.
I just used short 1/4" carriage bolts in the cross bars of my Prinsu to mount the Rotopax mounts. Spaced the cross bars accordingly. Super simple and required nothing more than some nuts and bolts from Home Depot.
Ugh, now it looks like I have to cut some filter basket out of the ROTOPAX can, so the yellow nozzle with store inside. What a stupid system. If you fill dirty fuel and don't see it, then the dirt catches in the basket and is first to go into the tank of your rig.🤦♀
Will I still have to vent the can daily
Rotopax says we are supposed to do that👍
I have two 2 gallon Rotopax cans. I got ride of the EPA Spout which is crap and got what you have, the yellow spout. Last week I went to Arizona, 116 degrees outside! My pax swelled up and unfortunately the rubber gasket failed so it was a mess. Couldn't re-mount the cans back on the ladder on the back of my truck so I had to dump 1.5 gallons of fuel and then I finally got them on. Just sharing a story here but that yellow spout is not self venting from what I can tell
I think you've misunderstood what the self venting feature is. They don't vent when the can is closed and sealed up, they vent letting air in while you dispense fuel so it comes out a bit faster without having to manipulate an EPA nozzle sleeve with your non existing third hand. The issue you experienced with swelling and gasket failure would have happened no matter what nozzle you had on there. That is why the manufacturer says to vent whenever there is bit elevation or temperature change.
Where do you get this spout ?
@@TwistedJake We have these safety nozzles. I don't understand why you need a third hand? Ours you just push the can to start the flow. Edit: Scratch that, just saw another vid showing the locking ring, what a pain. The nozzles work well with out it.
How frequently do you vent it?
The trick I've figured out is that when I fill it with fuel I fill it all the way. The less air the less expansion as fuel itself won't expand. If I do that I never have to vent it after the first time. I haven't vented it in well over a month.
That doesnt sound right, liquids expand the most !
Leave an Air Gap to Absorb Expansion, just like Radiator Expansion Bottles.
@@DOCWHOK9 it’s the vapors that make it expand.
when the cell is full of gas and on your vehicle, do you drive with the spout inside the can? I filled mine and thought the spout should be mounted for fuel delivering. while offroading the cans kept leaking! How are you supposed to carry fuel on board while driving? Spout inside or outside?
I leave the spout inside the tank all the time and have no leaks. Have you checked the gasket?
@@TwistedJake I will check them but I just bought them and used then fr the first time. Am I supposed to leave the spout inside when full of gas? Maybe that is why mine were leaking or venting when I had the spout out.
@@xavierfumat7567 Without the spout there is no gasket so it will leak. You need the spout.
