Removing Environmental Regulations for Portable Fuel Containers (Gas Cans).

The Freedom to Fuel Act amends the Clean Air Act to exclude portable fuel containers (gas cans) from the definition of a "consumer or commercial product." This change removes federal emission standards requirements for these containers, potentially affecting their design and cost. Citizens may see simpler, possibly cheaper gas cans, but this could lead to increased fuel vapor emissions.
Key points
Portable fuel containers are explicitly excluded from the regulatory definition of consumer products under the Clean Air Act.
The exclusion also applies to regulated fuels, fuel additives, motor vehicles, and non-road engines.
This legislative change aims to reduce regulatory burdens on the manufacturing and sale of gas cans.
