Serious question

Can anyone who is in the know. Please explain to me. The fuel can spout nozzles that we have today.

I was just using one of these to fill up my tractor with 5 gallons of diesel. 5 gallons of diesel weighs over 30 lb. It is no small task for me to hold this can out at arms reach over the arms of the front end loader and the width of the hood to the fuel cap. This is heavy and held out at arm's length.

You have to push the little button so that the in can telescope

If you bump it and then come back out. Which is pretty reasonable considering the weight and awkwardness. You have to reset it. Which requires setting it back up right and using one hand to hold it while resetting it with the other.

But, what tends to happen is you scrunch the shit down. It leaks out of everywhere to everywhere. I have diesel all over the tractor all over the ground and all over my arms. And because it does not pour very well it took a looong time to fill this tractor up.

Now my back hurts. My tractor is covered in fuel. I have diesel on the ground.

The old cans. You just filled it up. If you were good you could do it without spilling a drop.

What the fuck is going on here? Why are we doing this? Who mandated this bullshit?


...and where do they live....

Don’t get me started. I’ve had to buy two new gas cans and they are a joke. I’ll stick to my old ones hopefully they last forever.
