As an application developer this story makes me wish I had taken a few industrial design courses back in college.


Effective design! I need to go see if they make anything like this still with a real nozzle. The plastic 'no drip' nozzles you find in the bulk hardware stores are completely worthless.


There is a spout which attaches to the same holes as the cap and latches on very securely. You don't need a funnel.

For example: http://www.mowdirect.co.uk/acatalog/5-LITRE-RED-STEEL-JERRY-...


That rocks. Too bad we can no longer buy plain ol' flexi spouts in the US due to EPA regulations.
