Troubleshooting
Spout does not create a tight seal.
Ensure the jerry can opening is clean and free of debris. Check that the clamp-down fitting is correctly aligned and fully engaged. Verify you are using a compatible jerry can size.
Fuel flow is too slow or blocked.
Check the flexible nozzle for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the vent on the jerry can (if applicable) is open. Remove and re-seat the spout to ensure no obstructions.
Nozzle is difficult to insert into filler neck.
Ensure the flexible nozzle is properly attached to the metal spout. Try rotating the nozzle slightly as you insert it. The flexible nature is designed to aid insertion.
Leakage around the spout fitting.
Re-apply the spout, ensuring the clamp-down mechanism is fully secured. Inspect the rubber seal on the clamp-down fitting for damage and ensure it is properly seated.
