And the new outboard tanks
In Response To: +1 -- I hate those new "safety" fuel spouts on portable containers ()
With a cap that allows up to 7+ psi pressure in the tank. According to the directions you are supposed to disconnect the fuel hose when not actually running the engine. You also have to bleed the pressure before hooking up the fuel hose or opening the fill cap. Failure to follow instructions leads to a big gas spill and perhaps a fuel bath for the operator.
