is the 6-inch Flex Spout Extension (sold separately) necessary to refuel a car?
2002288
I don't have the flex spout but can say from experience it would not refuel most cars because of the spout length

Hi. I'm not sure if the extension would be necessary, but I could certainly see how it would be helpful. I've only used the can to refuel lawn equipment, never a car.

No, I've always just used the spout included and a funnel if necessary. Used on different cars, leaf blowers, mowers, etc. with just this set up.

I would say yes in most cases, or use a plastic funnel that fits well. You could also find a piece of rubber hose or similar that fits the gas can nozzle.

I have not had to or tried to refuel my car(s), I would think it is not necessary and may not work because of the diameter of the end of the extension. I know some cars have a spring loaded cover on the fill pipe (it closes when you remove the nozzel at the gas station. I would recommend one of those wide mouth, skinny end funnels that you can put in the car fill pipe(this would also hold this flapper open and then dispense the fuel from the no-spill can into the funnel.

You can look up the specific models for you vehicles here <http://www.qwikvalve.com> but It looks like you can use either the F106S (Short hose connection nipple) or F106 (No hose connection nipple) but I'd recommend the F106S for both vehicles. Aside from oil pan clearance they are somewhat universal.

Yes you can buy the gas can that fits this spout. It does not fit the small cans. The opening is about 2 in, The no spill nozzle does not slosh around if used by following directions.

Yes it comes with 2 spouts one long flex spout and a self closing type spout. I have only used the flex spout and it did not leak at all.

The CARB/EPA spouts are required since 2003 in the USA but the old style Wedco spouts they used on these cans for years are still available from Canada for about $15.Google "Wedco versaflex spout" or something similar and you should see a bunch of them for sale.You'll also need to add a vent opposite the spout end of the can, back where a screw down vent used to be on these cans before they went "ventless". If you google "jug vent" or something similar you should see the snap down vents Blitz and Eagle used to use on their cans for sale. All you have to do is drill a 1/2-inch hole in the can and the new vent pops in. The 1/2-inch hole is a very tight fit but anything over that at all and the vent will fit loosely.

there is a add-on reducer from 6" down to 4". Without the reducer its a six inch connection. HTH. John

I love mine, but the brass end of the flex hose needed a little work. it was slightly arrow shaped so it would go into a vehicle fuel receiver fine but was very tricky to get back out. A few minutes spinning the brass end carefully on the grinder (off the can of course) and I had the brass trimmed down at the back edge to the same OD as the front edge. Now the flex can be inserted into a standard auto fuel receiver AND taken back out. just rite.

No, you need a min of 5.5". The pipe contains both the intake and the exhaust.

Yes, I bought it for my 6 gallon water heater in my popup trailer which runs on propane.

No, I had to purchase an adaptor at HomeDepot, and once fitting it on, it really took up the small vertical space I had to deal with. I gave feedback to GE on this poor design, but received no reply. I actually ended up with an adaptor, then a couple of 6" duct-elbows and put aluminum flex-hose between the two elbows. Not the best approach to use flex, but I was out of options and space!

FV-30VQ3 takes a 6" diameter flex duct. They don't make that obvious, do they?

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

Before you buy this or any other siphon item, get a flexible piece of hose small enough to fit down the neck of your gas tank and try to reach the gas. Many new cars have baffles in the filler neck making it impossible to reach the gas in the tank and siphon gas from it. Probably for EPA or safety (crash) reasons, but it is what it is. Don't wait for a hurricane and find out you can't get gas out of the tank.

yes it is . you will more then likely have to use extension on the water pipes like I did I just bought the flex lines worked out great. you wont have to use extensions if the line coming from the house supply are long enough.

I don't see the necessity for one. It's a gas can! If you were measuring out a specific amount it might be necessary, as in so many bounces of oil or gas treatment fluid.

You don't "need" to although it will elongate the life of the tank. Do not apply it w/ fuel pump in the tank.
