I just ordered these vent caps, thanks! I couldn't believe how cheap (low cost) they are. I spent $140+ bucks on (4) 5 gal. "EASY CANS" and the internal plastic screens must go and they all need vents. Next I need an extension for the too short spouts. Other than these things the cans were perfect. P.S. Now I know what I can use that chainsaw for I got for Christmas.
I like the fact that you drilled the vent hole off to the side. I saw a vid earlier where the guy put the hole in the seam, and it leaked! Gonna order some, thanks.
The whole reason I’m here watching this video is to see how it’s done before drilling into my rotopax! Haha. Thanks for the how to! Good to know that if my hole isn’t drilled perfectly (which I can never seem to do) that this will still seal up nicely. Though I would appreciate it if you try out your rotopax before me!
I'm in the same boat, most of my holes are good but I always seem to have one thats a little iffy... I think there is enough interest for me to drill into my rotopax. I'll try to get it done this weekend.
When drilling into thin wall plastic I like to use a jobber (short) drill bit and small cutoff length of 1.5" board (2x2 or 2x4 works fine). You first drill a straight 90 degree hole in the wood so that just a 1/4" or so of the jobber bit sticks out. You can drill a small dimple exactly where you want the hole before using the wood. Then with the wood as a spacer drill your hole, because the wood won't let the bit grab and run up into the plastic you'll get a nice clean hole that won't need work afterwards. My 2 cent tip of the day.
Great tip! I shall try this on my next can. Assuming I can get some wood through the mouth lol. Sounds like this trick works for most very thin material.
I have a link in the description! Zero leaks while bouncing around in the back of the rigs when clearing trails or cutting firewood. So, i'd say it's a good brand.

Hey.... nice try... but... you are suppose to use a STEP bit, not a regular drill bit. You will get a much cleaner, rounder hole with the step bit. Also, you can use a METAL tire valve stem that is easily available at most local tire shops as the vent. You will need to remove the spring valve insert and make sure to drill the correct diameter hole in the plastic can.
Maybe… but the kit comes with a drill bit. So I used what everyone else is going to get with the kit. Zero leaks, even while bouncing down forest roads clearing trails for the summer.
Here's a link to the vent cap if you'd like to support the channel, thank you! (Affiliate) amzn.to/3Xt0mDL
That's how a BOSS opens tamper proof packaging! RESPECT !!!
Can't be tamper proof if its shredded. lol

Would love to see this tested on a rotopax. I have both the 2 gallon water and 4 gallon fuel.
A step drill works great.
Yes you should try it! 👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
I think so too!
Do this to those Rotopax containers! Need to see this!
Thinking about it!
I find it funny how the "EPA caps" meant to stop fuel leaks and vapor escape does everything opposite. Just like everything else from alphabet gunk
I'm gonna get one those vents for sure!
They are sweet!
Nice! What brand of pour spout are you using on those cans? Appears to be good quality....no leaks upside down! Amazing

Locking EPA fuel spout that spills fuel everywhere... yeah, that's about par for the course with the EPA.
I wonder of that would work in my Rotopax cans? I already swapped over to the h20 spouts on them.
If we get enough interest, i'll sacrifice one of my Rotopax cans. The H20 spout works so much better right?
Never take advice from someone with a bandaged finger. 😂 Just Kidding. Thanks for saving me time self learning.
ROFL!
L O V E the chain saw
Same!
I will choose the old one, haha.
They are both good!

I hate the stupid spouts on the gas cans.
Hate is an understatement.
A step bit would have been better
I used what was supplied.
@@EmbarkWithMark I get that it was more of a suggestion
Acts like ave.... doesnt sound or look like ave..... sus....
I am what I am.
