Default I need a breather!

Ever get REALLY annoyed by these dang gas cans with NO breather cap. I was mentally berating this can when I noticed some valve stems laying on the bench. HMMMMMM, I said to my self. A half inch hole later, remove the schraider valve, and WA LA!

That would appear to be a good solution to a problem.

How did you install the valve stem? Fish it through the pour spout hole with a wire and then into the 1/2" hole?

Exactly what the fellow in the video did. Necessity IS the mother of invention.

The guy in the vid. is priceless. I feel the same way about those dumb gas cans. Crappiest fuel can I've ever used. Dad always used (and still does) the metal ones with vents (good luck finding a good used inexpensive one of those.) I'm going to look into venting my gas can too.

PS the guy in the video has like 20 cans- makes me wonder why he hasn't just invested in a tank?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
