This is probably the best deal out there right now for the best spout ever made for NATO cans. It's a great spout but as discussed in the other thread it will not work "as is" in modern cars and an adaptor of some kind (or a funnel?) would be needed for that.

I own several types and makes but the Valpro/Wavian is the best I have used. All others suck in comparison. I can quickly empty an entire fuel can and not spill a drop.
This one is the best. You can also get them in green. |

If the leak is around the mounting area it's because the rubber seals on the Chinese ones are too thin.
Get some of the Atlantic British seals from Amazon. No leaks. |

Get some of the Atlantic British seals from Amazon. No leaks. Dang, significantly cheaper from Amazon than from their website. Trying to cancel that order and change to Amazon. |

Woah! Those are fightin' words! Ok, just kidding, but have you tried a Swiss spout? I can empty 5.3L into an auto tank in 35s without spilling a drop... I think I have one of those. At least best as I recall. It looked like that. It never worked for me so I tossed it in a box somewhere. Might have been operator error...don’t know. I had a variety of cheap spouts. All of them leaked. Finally got a Valpro/Wavian spout and that’s the only way I’ll go in the future. I have a few Scepter MFC cans and now that I’m using this spout, I’ll probably switch all my fuel can needs over to NATO cans. Half the price of the Swiss spout too. |

If you find it, I'm always down for a 2nd Swiss spout for the right price... |

Quoted: The cheap one I have has started leaking. Update: Bought one from Atlantic on Amazon. Doesn't fit my cans. The vent from the nozzle does not fit into the vent in the cans. The nozzle is an elongated oval, my cans are more round. Are there multiple versions? Do you actually have NATO cans then? What brand do you have? |

The best spout for it is the one I posted a link to earlier, as that was the one made for it. The down side to that spout is it needs to be modified to fit in todays unleaded tanks. |

Hmmmm....I’m no Jerry can expert but from a quick google search that does appear to be a Swiss can. I’m afraid your only choice will be the Swiss spout.

You may have to go with the Swiss spout or modify the one you bought. The good news is that the Swiss spout works just fine on other NATO cans. I have some Swiss cans and some NATO, the Swiss spout hasn't given me troubles on any of them. |

Can almost buy a new NATO can for the cost of the Swiss spout.

I gave up looking for a spout.
I'm going to stick with my 12v electric fuel pump with a lighter plug on the wire. It takes a little longer but I don't have to lift the can.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |
