How To Fix Your Gas Can Forever! No More Spills Or Leaks!
- Midwest Fuel Can (Original)
- Requires 14.4–15.6 lbs of force to unlock and initiate flow; design is clunky and user-unfriendly
- No vent in the can, significantly slowing fuel flow
- Spills fuel when held at awkward angles; tips over at 32.6°
- Causes leaks under 14 lbs of force (e.g., 1.1 lbs at base, 14+ lbs at cap)
-
Serves as baseline for all testing; flawed design due to poor engineering
-
Yamataka Replacement Nozzle
- 8 inches long, inner diameter 13 mm (3 mm larger than another tested)
- No leaks, finishes in 1:56 (22 seconds faster than Midwest)
- Fits Midwest can with one base cap; works with 1.7–1.82 inch mouth sizes
- Made in China; claimed to be "fast" — performance matches name
-
Average finish rank: 5th (second place in tie with Mr. Yellow)
-
Suwala Replacement Nozzle
- 8.1 inches long, inner diameter 13.38 mm (slightly larger than Yamataka)
- Comes with two vent types; no leaks; fits Midwest can well

- No universal fit: FuelWorks — replacement nozzles don’t work with it
Note: All claims are based on viewer testing; no manufacturer data was cited. Force and flow tests were conducted with water and dye to simulate fuel. Spill and leak tests were performed under real-world conditions (e.g., tipping, force application).
