SureCan is built with 6 layers wall thickness to prevent vapors from escaping as well as to be the most durable gas can on the market. Not all other fuel can manufacturers can say this. The gas cans that allow vapor to escape into the air through the walls of the can release that vapor and it sits inside your garage or enclosed trailer.
Alright, so why exactly does my gas can bloat or expand in the sun and collapse in the cooler temperatures? Thus, if the gas temperature inside the can increases so will the pressure and volume inside the can Bloated Can. Likewise, if the gas temperature inside the can decreases so will the pressure and volume inside the can Collapsed Can. When fuel vapor is trapped inside a closed container without any way of escaping as it increases and decreases in volume and pressure, the laws of chemistry and physics tell us that it has to go somewhere.
Here are some examples of gas cans that have collapsed in due to the change in cooler temperatures. Now, how do I get my collapsed gas can to go back to normal?
Simply make sure the cap is off and the can has properly vented, then place the cap back on and seal it up tight. Next place the gas can in the sun for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. The increased temperature will cause the can to swell pushing the walls back to the original shape. How do I prevent this from happening again? But back when I first tried to use these new gas cans a few months after purchase I was shocked at their new spring-loaded, Mousetrap game style Environmental Protection Agency-engineered spouts.
The author's "water" can, Earth Day I quickly learned what many, particularly outraged boat and outdoor forum folks, already knew. You need three hands to operate today's gas can spouts. You'll start each project spilling more gas than you get into the mower, motorcycle, car or whichever.
In other words, you will create more vapor emissions than you ever would have otherwise. What the heck happened? PFCs, also known as gas cans…. No gas cans available for sale anymore have vents on the opposite top-side either, so when trying to pour you get a sloshing, heaving mess, burping gasoline eruptions leaking from the complex yet flimsy spout that easily breaks. Go see for yourself at Ace or Home Depot. What was EPA thinking? The test results showed that under certain limited conditions — including a very low volume of gasoline left inside — such explosions are possible.
After NBC News' investigation, WPI continued two additional phases of testing, also with the industry's support, into whether flame mitigation devices such as flame arresters could help prevent explosions. That testing found they did, concluding in that mitigation devices are "necessary" to address possible explosions, and reporting that some prototype designs for the devices had passed safety, durability and functionality tests.
Ali S. Rangwala, the professor of Fire Protection Engineering who conducted the testing at WPI's combustion lab, is pleased by the new requirement. The industry had already agreed to a new technical standard two years ago , in late A committee consisting of industry representatives, consumer safety advocates and CPSC officials established "performance requirements for Flame Mitigation Devices FMDs in portable fuel containers.
Reporting that development on its website, the Portable Fuel Container Manufacturers Association noted that containers meeting the standard "are already being produced. The PFCMA said its member manufacturers began "the introduction of flame mitigation devices on almost all of their PFCs starting about three years ago" in It said that it "enthusiastically supports the new law as part of our members' unwavering focus on the safety of their products for consumers," and described the addition of the flame mitigation device as "an extra measure of safety for consumers who, despite common knowledge of the risks, misuse gasoline to start or accelerate a fire.
The law signed Sunday includes a long timeline, directing the CPSC to make its final rule "not later than 30 months" after the law's enactment date. It also includes an "exception," directing that the requirements of the "voluntary [industry] standard…be treated as a consumer product safety rule" if the CPSC determines they meet the conditions of the law.
