No good for pontoon boats, June 9, 2010
This review is from: Blitz 81101 Enviro-Flo Accessory Card - Spout, ID Tag and Flex Tube (Automotive)
Unlike "regular" boats that are usually fuelled via a flat horizontal opening on the DECK, you gas up a pontoon boat like you do a car: the gas cap is located on the SIDE of a 'toon's aluminum wall. I was glad to find out about the Enviro-flo I bought the product to retrofit one of my Blitz gas cans. It has never worked well for me and has leaked whenever I've used it for boat OR car. It's difficult to hold the can at a proper angle while holding down the "safety" trigger at the same time. It makes fuelling unwieldy and it leaks. While I understand and appreciate the need to reduce fuel spills, pontoon boaters need a DIFFERENT kind of gas can spout to make that happen. This product leaks if you tip the can too high or if you apply any pressure on the can while fueling the boat. Gas gets into the plastic mechanics of the thing & it leaks. Sometimes a few drops; sometimes more. Perhaps it prevents bigger spills with smaller ones? Not being able to purchase an alternative gas can is a pain. The only good thing in THIS version of a Blitz can is the flexible spout. The prior on had a short hard plastic spout that NEVER once fully drained the can into my boat's fuel tank; the one before that had a tiny-gauge nozzle that took forever to drain the can AND it leaked, too.

Safe by reason of unable to use, April 21, 2011
This review is from: Blitz 81101 Enviro-Flo Accessory Card - Spout, ID Tag and Flex Tube (Automotive)
I fully agree this spout system is awful. Yes it is safe - by reason of not being able to use it. I tried to buy an original type spout at my local NAPA auto parts store and found that the older and user friendly units are not available anymore - they are considered to be "unsafe" for the environment. The store clerks have had a lot of bad feedback on the Enviro-flo spouts. One clerk told me he never spilled gas with the older spouts, but the new "safe" spouts it is quite "messy" filling the lawn mower and outboard motors. Avoid any can that has this installed. Go to Ebay and you will find the older spouts that will fit the gas cans.
