[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 216288, member: 5993"] Aha! So I’m not alone! A real simple cheap easy fix to add an air vent is to buy a tubeless tire filler thingy, 2 for about 2 dollars, or just bum a handful of used ones from your local tire shop. Drill a hole (I forget the exact diameter, but it’s easy to figure out with an expanding drill type bit. Stick the tire thing in the hole kind of like a grommet.. If you drill the right size hole it’ll fit perfectly, but takes a little finess to grommet it into the hole. And the occasional bad word. I drilled one a hair big, so found a washer the right size and gobbled it in with silicone seal glue. So far the gas fumes hasn’t weakened the silicone seal. Might be a more gas resistant glue, any Suggestions?? Then depending on the model of the spout, it’s easy to get the spring loaded stuff out, so it pours freely and usually the spout inverts and fits inside till needed. Unscrew the air cap when you need an air vent. One of these days I’ll figure out how,to post a picture. Those tubeless air filler things are designed to hold pressure from the inside, and some models tend to want to fall out and drop into the gas can. The best kind seat more like a grommet and once in, stay put. [/QUOTE]
