A fuel can ( 20 ) is disclosed as having a hollow container body ( 22 ), a detachable pouring spout ( 32 ), and a fill/vent assembly ( 36, 132 ) which is integrally secured to the body ( 22 ). In one form, the fill/vent assembly ( 36 ) has a primary segment ( 60 ) defining a fill opening ( 66 ). The segment ( 66 ) supports a first, inner, spring-biased pivotal door ( 42 ) as well as a second, outer, spring-biased door ( 50 ). A flexible check valve ( 44 ) is also supported on the inner door ( 42 ). In another embodiment, second door is threadably attached to a neck ( 136 ) as opposed to being spring-biased into the closed position. In yet another embodiment, the can ( 20 ) has only a venting assembly ( 148 ) including a flexible check valve ( 156 ) supported on a primary segment ( 154 ). The segment ( 154 ) has venting slots ( 170 ) as well as a cap ( 158 ) designed to permit venting of the can ( 20 ) through the slots ( 170 ) and valve ( 156 ).
