Gas can spouts

Back in the good old days, gas cans came with a simple spout that worked fine. When not in use, the spout would go back in container and sealed with a cap to keep fumes from escaping. Now someone seems to have concluded that folks will leave the spout attached for pouring thus destroying the atmosphere. New spouts have been mandated to deal with this. The problem is that they don't work. I nearly always have to pour the gas without a spout, using a funnel. I often spill some which I don't like to do. What I really want is one of those old fashioned, basic spouts that work. Anyone know where I can get one? Mexico? Thailand? Zimbabwe?
