Abstract
An improved dispensing system for gasoline cans, comprising a hose adapter which replaces at least the typical spout and sealing disk associated with the gasoline can cap. The hose adapter is designed to accept common garden hose couplings, such that an ordinary piece of garden hose can be securely attached to the adapter and then cut to length for convenient pouring from any distance. In a first embodiment the hose adapter operates with the original cap. In a second embodiment the hose adapter has a built-in cap portion, and replaces the original cap.
