[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1611334, member: 18945"] I have several exactly like that. 2 things I don't like about them is 1. The can is made of 2 different plastics, laminated together and the outer layer starts peeling off after a few years. Doesn't leak but the the strength of the container is lessened significantly. 2. The yellow cap on the end of the spout gets loose after a while....a fix for it is a 1/2" or 3/4" (depending on dia of spout) pvc pipe cap , threaded or smooth id. Fits tight and won't swell up like the one that comes with the can. Those kind of cans NEED to be vented no matter what...keeps the can from swelling up to almost round when the temp turns warm in the afternoon and on a cold night, you're liable to get up one morning and find it collapsed to about 1/2 it's size, especially this time of year when the temp may vary 40 +deg between night and afternoon.
