Fuel cans suck...

[PA Dan]

What is this rubber valve your talking about? Pics or links to it?

 

[PA Dan]

I like my yellow spout cans,

How's that new saw treating you?

Wish we could still but the yellow spout cans! I have a couple of those I have to dig out.

The saw is nice! Will get some big run time on it soon!

Tractor supply has spout and vent kits for $10

I've used them JRed cans for a few years (same as Husky has just different colour)

They only carry 6 liter, pricey, but worth it, mine has stayed in forrest for a year now.

Just a rubber tire valve stem.

I like these buy at garage sales if cheap and not stored outside/faded ?

Metal cans are great. Just don't put ethanol in them.

Never with ethanol. I like how they are puncture resistant. And the squirrels don't chew them up.

The methanol and other expensive fuels are all in metal cans. Not sure what kind of lining they have though.

I also like the cans that a "throttle" to aid dispensing.

Are there any fuel cans out there that are any good? I absolutely hate the styles available today! The expand and contract and if you go to fill a saw and don't relieve the pressure look out! So has anyone found some good ones? What are you using? I left this one out over night and it got into the 40's!

Plus this kit = old style gas cans. *Be Aware*,you can buy the normal and high flow spout kit and I don't recommend the high flow for saw use but they are great for 5 gallon cans of diesel going in a tractor

This is all OSHA will allow in a shop environment anymore and honestly they are well worth the money.

I Prefer them.

a 1 gallon washer fluid bottle works good.

The best idea to fix the new plastic EPA jugs I've seen a is drill a 1/2" hole in the rear of them then fish a rubber valve stem thru it and install the valve stem and leave the valve core out and open the valve cap to vent as needed.

I have a pile of these they are awesome.

I use these as well. I sure didn't pay that much for them though. Our Farmers Co Op has them for $20 with spouts. I just think they are too big for saw use.

Another for no-spill

I buy every one of the yellow spout cans I find, I must have 12 or so of them from 6 gallon diesel jug, to a 1/2 gallon gas jugs, usually pay less then 5 dollars for them. But I carry a 1 gallon flexible tube jug that allows the spout to set back into the jug for every day use, the flexibility of it makes it easy to fill saws also have a 2 gallon just like it.

I bought a couple of 5-gal kerosene cans last year that were the new-fangled EPA chit. Immediately walked back over to the aisle and purchased the conversion, non-EPA spouts, got'em home, replaced the spouts, drilled and reamed a .490 vent hole in the top rear, snapped in and sealed in place the 1/2" vent that came with the conversion spouts. Sent the chit EPA spouts to the landfill with the trash.

I'm guessing this is what you are talking about? Looks pretty good, but I also now think the valve stem idea is a good one and I can get that locally.

I have the no spill. It still sucks in and must be relieved by the spout button.
I like the metal cans but am not sure I want to make the investment.
