+1 -- I hate those new "safety" fuel spouts on portable containers

They result in more spillage and gas on your hands than ever before... The force required to push them in and activate the release is more than the cap's sealing mechanism can handle if the can is held even slightly off at the wrong angle, and the requirement to push in hard makes it difficult if you want to fill (whatever you're pouring into) at a slow rate (to top off a tank without overflow spill).
