This is a replacement spout kit for older-style gas cans (typically round, vented cans from brands like Midwest, Blitz, Gott, Rubbermaid, Essence, or Scepter). Includes a rigid or flexible spout, filter screen, rubber gaskets, vent cap, and a drill bit to enlarge the vent hole if needed. It’s for refilling lawn mowers, trimmers, or other small engines from non-CARB-compliant cans.
Fitment & Compatibility
- Can type: Designed for older, non-CARB-compliant gas cans with a 1.5–2 inch filler neck and a separate vent cap (not the push-button or self-venting style).
- Brands: Works with Midwest, Blitz, Gott, Rubbermaid, Essence, and Scepter plastic cans from the 1990s–early 2010s. Not for newer CARB/EPA cans with safety nozzles.
- Check before buying: Measure your can’s filler neck inner diameter (should be ~1.5–2 inches) and vent cap size (usually 1/2–3/4 inch). The kit includes a drill bit to enlarge the vent hole if it’s too small. Confirm the spout length (usually 6–8 inches) fits your can’s shape.
- OEM vs aftermarket: This is a universal aftermarket kit, not brand-specific OEM. Gaskets are basic rubber; may not seal perfectly on all cans.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Mixed. The spout and screen are functional, but gaskets can be thin and prone to cracking after a season. The drill bit is cheap but does the job.
- Installation: Easy—remove old spout, insert new one, tighten collar. May need to drill a new vent hole if your can lacks one or the original is clogged. No special tools required beyond the included bit.
- Common gotcha: The filter screen can restrict flow if you’re using ethanol-blended fuel (gums up faster). Clean it periodically. Also, the vent cap may not seal 100% if your can’s vent hole is slightly oversized—use thread tape or replace with a better cap.
- Not for: CARB-compliant cans with auto-shutoff nozzles, metal cans, or any can with a built-in vent system.
Should You Buy It
If you have an old, non-CARB gas can that’s leaking or has a broken nozzle, this kit is a cheap fix ($14.99). It’s right for DIYers who want to keep a classic can working without buying a new one. Skip it if you need a CARB-compliant solution or want a premium, leak-proof seal—look for a dedicated OEM spout instead.
