I didn't have any issues with the can or pin last year. Pin can be a pain with ice and snow build up on the pin causing the ball detent to stick. Yeti changed vendors on the pin early in the spring and have had good luck so far for the most part. For 2017 kits and the new gas can it will use a ratchet style strap that loops around the cap of the can. Super slick. New can will come with strap and mount with hook. Got mine today. New Red cans are arriving very Soon.

Had trouble mounting the gas can since the instructions mentioned 19 3/8" or 43.26 cm back from bracket...Didn't double check my dimensions and used the metric numbers (I'm metric 90% of the time)...Can wouldn't fit...Rechecked, it happens that 19.375" is NOT 43.26 cm...Only out by 1 cm..19.375"=44.2 cm...My bad for not checking...Their bad for printing wrong instructions!
