Gas Can? Any suggestions?

by Jeanne B

Why are gas cans made to hold 1-/1/4 gallons of gas rather than 1 gallon? I have a no spill can and I've lost the push button to dispense the gas. Any suggestions for a replacement? It is a container from No Spill Research in Sprayberry, Mo. and the tel. has been disconnected.

    most gas cans have extra room for additives. Small engines can need oil mixed with the gas. Old tractors run better on gas with an additive that makes modern gasoline burn like old leaded gas. So do old cars like Model T's.
