    The absolute fucking moron that re-designed the gas cans in the US. If you're not aware there's some sort of spring and latch mechanism on the spout. Apparently, it's to not let fumes out or some bullshit.

    But, what it really does, is make you spill 100x the fucking gas everywhere. The "design" forces you to either hold it open by hand, or mash the spout into the can upside down. There is no way to use this where it's not a pain in the ass, and/or spill gas everywhere.

    Already found a video to remove the spring, but holy shit.
