[G_Boyd]

Where can I buy these in the US? All of them I have found come from across the ocean...

That was just the first link in my Google search. And that place is expensive. I've found them for about $10 for 10, but I can't find the link right now. Google around, you'll find them.

Deutsche Optik is a bit cheaper, but still not cheap...

Two or three years ago I ordered some from Army Surplus Warehouse. I think the price was just under $18 for a pack of 10, including shipping.

No, they are NOT. I have two of those, and they are cheap, Chinese made junk. The flexible nozzles leak and are not sealed well into the base piece. They also have no provision for venting, so they empty the can very slowly. You'd be better off with a funnel.

I agree with Curmudgeon on this based on my own experience as well.

Wedco makes a spout that works well but it uses a narrow flexible plastic tip to allow use with a gasoline tank (smaller opening than a diesel tank). The problem is the plastic tip eventually breaks after a couple of years of use. After breaking a 2nd tip I've opted to avoid the spout and instead I use a super siphon to transfer the gas instead.

I use a super siphon to transfer large amounts, but it would be nice to be able to fill the push mower without the use of the siphon haha.

Easy... Buy a plastic wedco gas can.

seems the gas smell can still propogate my garage unless its in a sealed can.

Supposedly the current CARB gas cans don't although I've never tried them.

I have a couple of regular carb plastic gas cans in the garage and don't smell them at all. They seem to seal well.
