There are so many things WRONG with this "new" spout...
1) the red tip-closure is almost impossible to unscrew
2) the "pressure-relief" action is difficult and awkward
3) the spout has to be held to allow the gas to flow
4) the spout does not bend to allow the can to be positioned
5) the closure at tip sprays gas in a fan, rather than flowing smoothly
6) when the spout is stored inside the can, gas will leak out the fitting.

For me, it seemed that every movement or action I tried ended up
with more gas spreading on the spout, the can, the ground, and my hands.
I too own one of these.

It is time to get creative with the required regulations and turn that stupid ass thing int a damn 2.5 gallon plastic container with a spout. Start with a large pair of pliers and rip that crap off the top. Take the spring and see how far you can fling it...
