Gasoline cans, Blitz, out of business, where to get cap?

A bunch of my Blitz 5-gallon portable gas containers have the lousy spout
broken (cracked around the center so that they now leak).

The company appears to be out of business, even though the gas cans are
only a couple of years old.

The gas cans are fine. Just the spouts are broken. I never use the spout
anyway. I just remove the spout and pour into a funnel.

Since I just use the spout as a gas cap, is there a replacement gas cap
that you know about for the 5 gallon Blitz gas cans?

I will try that with the two broken spouts that I have. They do seem to
be "stuck" in, so, to remove the centerpiece, I have to "break" something.

Go to a Tractor Supply or many other farm type stores and you will find
a replacement cap and spout assembly that is sold to replace "water can"
parts. It is a kit with 2-3 threaded rings, a spout and caps to fit
various "water cans". Since the companies who made/make blow molded fuel
containers also made water storage cans, the parts fit like a glove.

I have a few of the kits as I have a few "water containers" around here.
