So I dont know about anyone else but I dislike the carb can spouts on fuel cans. So here is a modification that can be done in 5 min.
NOTE; Disclaimer
If you do the modification your spout will no longer be carb compliant and you cannot put the pieces back in. I take no responsibility if you do this mod.
The spout will look like a carb spout but will perform like a non carb spout. No one will know except you.
first remove the little spring on the white piece. Then pull off the little white piece.
This next part can be a little stubborn. You need to remove the long white part that is inside the spout. To do this I used needle nose vise grips and clamped the white piece, I then put the vice grips in a vise and tapped the black part of the spout to separate the two. It is held in there by that little white nub you see that will break off and the nub piece will come out.
next separate the red and black piece, they will just pull apart at this point.
Look inside the red part and remove the spring you see inside.
slide the black and red piece back together. Make sure you slide them together in the right position, the round black tube on the black part goes up, it will match where the spring was. Slide them all the way together. At this point you are done, the spout will not leak as there is an "O" ring on the black part. Dont worry it is a snug fit between the two pieces.
Enjoy a nice can that empties out great.
