Guess I'll hang on to my old one with the screw-on lid & spout...
Effective 01/01/09, all gas cans manufactured for sale in the U.S. must comply with CARB and EPA national regulations. The Spill-Proof and Self-Venting fuel containment lines have been discontinued for sale in the U.S. by Blitz U.S.A. and manufacturing has ceased. We are pleased to announce our new, CARB/EPA compliant fuel containment line - The Enviro-Flo fuel containment system. To learn more about the Enviro-Flo, please visit
