Comment on They just made the winning bid
turmacar@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoVeritasium(?) has a video about jerry cans that boils down to “Surprise! The Germans over-engineered the crap out of these!” and how most modern ones aren’t as good because its significantly cheaper to make ones that just look similar.
Still better than the plastic ones usually but you kind of have to hunt for the older style at this point to get the best of the best.

These are the types I use. I’ve get them at swap meets used. They use 2in fnpt thread and have a vent that covered by the cap. I have a home made spout made from pvc bushing, a steel hose barb and about 18inchs of pvc hose. These are “new” style, but very thick plastic and very simple. No overengineered vents and valves to break.
