[AT] Gas Cans

[charlie hill]

Herb I hadn't even thought of that.  That is kind of like the way you are 
supposed to pour oil out of a plastic oil can/bottle.  Most folks have never 
thought about it or been shown.   When you tilt the bottle you don't tilt 
the spout end first.  You tilt it in the other direction so that the can is 
almost horizontal before the oil starts to pour.  Then it vents like it 
should and you can better control the way it pours.  I never even thought 
about that with the gas can!
