I tried to do that and no drilling is required, but the new caps don't fit tightly enough in the existing holes to prevent the old caps from falling out There is a leak in the
Drill bits designed for consumer drills are rarely capable of drilling a 31/64" hole and are rarely found in consumer drill To the rescue with HF. They make a number of drill bit sets that include this size (#62281, etc.). If you use the 1/2" drill bit, you may need to add a tiny bit of glue or caulk under the vent to seal it off.
To mount the vent cap on the jug, you will need to drill a 1/2-inch hole. You don't need to worry about the size of your spout.

Selected User Reviews For JSP Manufacturing 5 Yellow Fuel Gas Can Jug Vent Cap
It is imperative that they have a spring-driven mechanism It is now time to close the Users are not meant to leave the site vulnerable by forgetting to close the lid of the gas can when it is released. A spout cover that closes automatically must also be on the can. At the end of the process, the entire can must be capped with a child-resistant cap A can must have a leak-proof cap and its system must reduce pressure within it as well as release minimal vapor. So, if this design is not compatible with three arms, three hands, and a short assistant, how can it be used without those features? There are some regulations that make sense on paper, but are simply too complicated for the average homeowner to handle. There are so many variations of these cans that each is worse than the last. Before I discovered these yellow vent caps, I used to drill a 1/2" hole in the rear of the handles to drain the cans. So I went to the car parts store next. It was easy to remove the cores from valve stems, pull the hollow stems through the 1/2" hole, and install the valve stems. However, the rubber stems of the valves were softer than metal ones, so the caps came apart.
These are excellent caps. The fit is snug and the rubber is very hard. Just a little fillet of JB Weld between the gas can and the lip of the vent cap did the trick. This means that there is no leakage.
Vent is easy to install and performs well once it is installed. A 3 star rating is due to the fact that this product requires a drill bit that is nearly impossible to find locally. This is what the manufacturer states. Almost all standard drill sets come with a drill just below 1/2 inch. Nowhere can I find this size of drill set among the many drill sets that I own. The hardware and software in the local area have been checked The only store that carries it is home improvement stores. The item is available here on Amazon as an add-on item (search for 69) The Alphan 62601230100 Drills are described as "Speed Master" Din 338 31/64). It would be easier to size this to fit a standard 1/2" bit, wouldn't it?.
This product converts the new containers back to what they were in the 1970s. A spout and an air vent are used so the liquid can pour out without a contraption that must be pushed on in order to pour, as well as a vent to allow the liquid to flow out freely without the spout "gaping".
There was no leakage due to the perfect seal. The drill bit for the 31/64 hole is tricky to install. You will have to get the 5 gallon plastic containers into the hole quite a bit to get them started, but if you don't, you will damage the gas can or the vent. In fact, in order to make it work, you need to use the smaller diameter tube that's about 1/8". Once the cap is closed, gently tap it in with a hammer. As for leaks, all 4 containers are fine. It is much cheaper than buying the spout and vent package when you have the spout that comes with your tank. I get gasoline into my tractor much faster thanks to the vent compared to waiting 5 to 8 minutes without it.
There are similarities between these and the original one that I have on my pre-printed invitations There are two tires on the 2009 gas can, and they are important Getting started is easy - installation takes less than five minutes There is a need for the 31/64" drill bit, as stated in the instructions This is an odd size, but if you are an HF customer you have this bit size in their combinations, so I finally was able to make use of it. Make sure you drill the hole in bursts so you can pull out the plastic shavings before you complete the hole Then you won't have to worry about stuff falling into the trash Line up the vent and give it a few quick whacks with your mallet once you have finished the hole. A vent should snap into place pretty easily, and it holds quite securely.
I have a REAL gas can now that I can use without actually being concerned about spills or leaks. I recommend this!.
It's a shame that we have to purchase them from a third party and install them by hand. However, I am so glad I took the risk! There is no better solution to low flow inconsistent pouring than this. The can was drilled with 1/2" holes so these things fit perfectly, as well. In less than five minutes, I installed three of them. The time it took me to find the right bit and the rubber mallet was longer than the time it took Install close to the top of the can in a place well above the fill line as well as as far towards the back as.
As a result, I had to replace the government mandated spouts on my gas cans with ones that worked and, thus, I had to replace the vent caps It is a single spout that I rotate through the cans when needed, but I needed a vent cap at the top of every can. I found these to work really well. You won't likely have leaks if you install the screws correctly. It is always a good idea to dab on some silicone to be Over time, they do break, always the little tether, which is why I like to have extras on hand once the tether breaks, the cap is always lost and will never be found. Spares of lots of things are kept around the house by me. If I keep spares on hand, I don't have to worry about running to the store to pick them up or ordering them and waiting. If you have an extra string with your yard trimmer, wouldn't that be wonderful? Keeping extra elements for my electric water heater is even a thing I do. They always don't work when it's thirty degrees outside and I really don't want to spend time running out to the store in this weather. The fact that one of them needs to be replaced in the cold makes it even more frustrating. You don't have to use them now or even if you don't need them That's what you'll do. Take advantage of them when you have the chance. Go ahead and get one of them, rather than getting the bundle so that.
