Like a previous responder noted natural rubber valve stems are Not Compatible with gasoline and over will fail.
Absolutely the most creative piece of European engineering I've seen! Thank you!
Glad to see you still making videos my friend! Not sure if you remember me but I sold you all my old camera gear a few years back. Take care!
Holy crap! Dm me on Instagram!

I did about 6 of these cans like this about 5 years ago, when another you tube channel did this very very valve stem hack. Easy to do, but the gas fumes softens the material and will go bad. Some have a metal fastener that attaches it which exposes less of the soft material and have held up better. That’s the only ones I’d consider.
Hi there ,I was wondering how long the valve stems held up for?
@@backyardbuck6362 They soften up fairly quick, don’t think any made it past the 3rd year. Since then, I found Amazon has quite a few now that are made all of steel, with one small rubber washer seal. I don’t think I’m going to have any issues with these. I think I bought a 6 pack, maybe 10 or 12. Good price when buying bulk.
@@johnlile7562 Thanks for the tips I really appreciate I'll try them and I'm sure they'll work great.
If you have a lathe, just take a stainless steel bolt and drill a hole through the center. 2 gasoline safe O-rings - one on each side of the gas container to seal it. A nut on the outside to hold it in place. An acorn nut on top. Done.
I love this video! It was very interesting and educational to watch! You should do more DIYs in the future!
Awesome! I'm glad you liked it.

Brilliant!!!
Valve stems are natural rubber & will die with gas. Maybe in the diesel it will live longer? A bulkhead -3 fitting (like the one you would use making brake lines) with Nitrile washers would work well too. :)
I did not think about that gas vs. Rubber. A bulkhead fitting is a great suggestion. I will have to try that. Anything beats a California regulated safety can. I spill more on the ground trying to get the safeties to properly work. Thanks for the great suggestion!

What size is the hole you drilled in the can !!!!!!!!
The gas will eventually eat the rubber it happened to mine but I just reinstalled another valve stem they are super easy to replace no big deal to do
You can buy the little yellow vents dirt cheap, or do like I do and stick a screw or bolt in the hole.
Thoses dang government for yea⛽️mess up everything good 👇
Very good one, best I' seen yet, big Thanks, by the way I also use the old coat hangers for lots of things also :)
Thank you for your kind words.

The vent hole needs to be further back, but that might make it more difficult to install the valve stem since you are using a heavy piece of wire... When I need to install a bolt in an area like that where I can't get my hand to reach it, I run a string through the hole first and put enough of it through that eventually it is dropping to some place where I can gain access... In your situation, putting a shop vac on the regular filler hole will likely capture the string as you feed it in... Once you have the end of the string coming through the larger hole, attach it to the end of the bolt (or valve stem in your case) and pull it back through the vent hole. Remove the string while holding onto the shaft of the valve stem and screw your valve core tool onto the valve stem. You can then use it to pull the valve stem through the hole without possibly damaging the valve stem from bending it.
Very helpful. I love constructive comments like this. Thank you.

I hate most of the no vent cans but I did find a very useful model at my local stihl dealer. It has a short nozzel with a button on it. I've found it really useful for filling up my tools and honda generator. Gives you a lot of flow and a lot of control. Unfortunately the brand stickers have worn off and I can't remember who makes them.
No Spill !
Great product !
How have you been Aaron?
-Will
the hole u just drill was to far forward to closeto spout , still might spill fuel out / REALLY NEED BE TOWARD THE BACKOF FUEL CAN !
AN ALL FUEL CAN NEED VENT HOLE BECAUSE THE FUEL WILL TAKE FOR EVER FILL EQUIPMENT UP !.
Drill shavings in can ?
That’s my question..was there fuel in the can?
Not just a hat 🧢 rack my friend... nice 👍 tip.
Thanks for watching! I hope you liked.
-Will
Purchase a battery powered transfer pump!
Remove the white plasic anti-fume/splash insert.
No heavylifting of the can!
What about the debris from the drilling falling into the can and ending up in the gas when filled.
@@khlynch8 That’s a great question. I rinsed mine out with about half a cup of fresh gas before I put it to use that way. I made sure to get out any debris. Thanks for watching.
-Will
Thanks
Really DlY
Excellent 👍👍👍👍
Most welcome 😊
-Will
It looks like you have an EZ pour spout. Mine came with a vent. EZ pour rocks.
He drilled through it with fuel in the can it looked heavy when he moved it???
There was a little fuel left in the bottom. Thankfully there is a filter in the nozzle. Good attention to detail. Thanks for watching!
-Will
You never mentioned what size drill bit…
@@kerrylouden4833 Size may very based on the size of shader valve you use.
-Will
What size drill bit did you use?
That would be 1/2 inch drill my friend. Make sure to measure the thickness of your valve stem near the base as all stems may differ in size. Make sure to leave a like. It really helps the channel. Thanks for watching!
-Will
If you want fast pouring, install a vent as big as the spout.
@@daleb5967 Even better! I like it!
-Will
How could they eff up a dang gas can? I can't believe I have to find an old gas can if I want a decent one.
Antique store lol?
Thanks for watching!
-Will
I have a 92 year-old friend who's got about 10 of them. Going to be asking him a little favor!
If one vent is good, will two vents be better?
Yes you can. But more vents or a larger vent will only create value up to the point that your air volume in is equal to the fluid volume going out. Beyond that point it’s just a waste. Great question! Thanks for watching.

@@Debtfreehomesteaders You are welcome. For me I do not want to hold a 40 pound gas can any longer than absolutely necessary.
I did modify one of those spouts to remove restriction, then added hose on the plastic spout, then added a piece of copper pipe to the end so it stays IN the filler neck.
I can now set the can on the bed rail, insert the hose, and not have to hold it.
But that too takes longer than I want so ordering a set of those nice metal vents.
Not sure if I want to drill a hole on the only Gerry Can I have though. Rest are plastic.
My plastic gas cans are not midwest - cheap walmart brand. Not sure I can buy replacement spouts to upgrade them.
May have to try another method.
@@Debtfreehomesteaders On another video I saw a guy use a tire valve stem (all rubber one).
Seems much cheaper than a metal one.
Might try that on a small cheap can.
Cool but the fuel will eventually eat the rubber
That is very true. Gas Can Vent Hack 2.0 ! Ha! Thanks for watching.
-Will
That's a diesel can
Kool,
We sure like the upgrade. Thanks for watching.
-Will
Soapy water would make it go thru easier
USE YOUR TIRE TOOL PULL VENT STERN THUR THE HOLE ?.
Now there's an idea. Ha Ha the simple things one overlooks. Thanks for watching.
-Will
Put the air hose on it and power feed
Dumbest idea ever. You can buy real vents for less than a buck apiece.
Works! Thanks for watching!
-Will
Chug chug chug
Yaaaaaa!!!!!
-Will
Why don't you tell us what size of a bit you used
Size may vary based on your shader valve you use.
-Will
Won't hold up to the gas,I tried this years ago
You can always use a transfer pump, duh
Just drill a small hole in the top and problem solved
What, your working around diesel/gas and no gloves on, a drop cloth/cardboard on the pavement, see ya !
Lmao. Thanks for watching!
-Will
You could edit this WAY down
... FAILURE ... over time the RUBBER valve stem will rot with the gasoline .... I KNOW ... about 2 year it rots and breaks
why whisper ?
I didn't think my comment was that mean . I didn't know there were different sizes so if you are that butt hurt I won't text
That's a dumb idea to make gas cans with out vents anyway they improved an old design that nothing was wrong with and today's idea made gas cans worse
Terribly complicated and Time consuming as seen in the Video...to Vent the Container, simply loosen the Cap...
