Replacement Gas Can Spouts
I commented (as did Stu) about the new style gas can spouts on GB Sisson's woodie thread and do not want to hijack it with further info. I saw the following elsewhere today and thought I would share it.
Check out EZPourSpout.com for spout and vent kits to fit most gas (and water) cans. Some states follow the CA restrictions and prevent us from purchasing usable replacement gas can spouts for cans made prior to the 2009 federal regulations. However, the company sells water can spouts that can be used for pouring any liquid. Tractor Supply near me stocks the standard and hi-flow water can spouts for $12.99.
Happy Pouring.

I've seen these too. It's just the old flexible spouts that crack and fall apart. The old plastic cans live forever. I made myself new spouts out of 3/4" copper tubing. Cut and soldered an inner flat, 45° end, screen, and washers. Copper caps, and good as new. Stu

STU... You are are the MAN! My old toyota t 100 flated DD has a flap in the filler that makes it REALLY hard to fill with EPA BS. I bet that 3/4" copper will fit and alleviate the problem. If not, I'll go to 1/2" copper. Thank you for your efforts!

When two of my flex spouts wouldn't JB Weld anymore I bought two of the new cans not realizing they were different. Today they sit empty in the bed of a donor truck iirc, and as I think on it, I bet they've got those little triangles molded into the plastic to let me give them back to the EPA. I'll take pics of the copper spouts in the morning. Stu

I have a couple of those EZ pour spouts....they work ok, better than the low flow ones. They seem to fit some cans better than others.
The copper one above looks great, a more permanent solution. Well done!

Scott, your tag line about the broken heart may have come from an old children's book called 'Mr. Bells Fixit Shop" that your dad read as a kid. He had a sign in the back that said, I can fix anything but a broken heart'. At the end of the book he changed it to 'even a broken heart' after he fixed a doll called Rosie. My kids loved that old worn out book!

On cans with no vent, I drill a hole and thread in a radiator petcock. I mostly use a funnel and just take the spout off on my tractors. An old Delo 400 gallon jug makes a great funnel for the 3020 and the 640 Ford. Heet bottles make a great funnel for the flapper door filler necks.

Most folks here and on the FordBarn have a lot more skill than I have. Have you tried starting it? Here's a link to a thread on FordBarn.com that talks about starting an engine and getting a vehicle ready that has been in long-term storage. It seems like a pretty good guide. If you need some Early Ford V-8 help, there are six OR regional chapters of the Early Ford V-8 club. They are a great bunch of very helpful people if they are anything like my region. https://www.earlyfordv8.org/Regional_Club_Directory.cfm Good luck.
I bought my 1940 three years ago from someone who had gotten into other things. I've driven it a few hundred miles and drafted from the Erie Canal the last two years. There are some pics in my gallery.

We have a pretty good idea of what to do to get it running. What we need is a chassis repair manual to help us rebuild the brakes (and I'm sure other stuff that will crop up.) I've tried to contact the local V8 chapter; so far, no answers from them. I don't even know when they meet.
Maybe if I'm more patient
Thank for your advice.

VintageAutoGarage.com sells Ford CD manuals by DetroitIron.com. Check both websites. Chuck at ChucksTrucksLLC.com is the truck guru. If he does not have the parts you need he should be able to find them. I take it you contacted the EFV-8 regional group in Central Point. I'll send a PM.
