JKB,
I bought one of those new gas cans for my father in law. I liked the design where the jug can be tipped over the hole without spilling, and the valve can be used to let it out slowly as needed. The valve claims to have a system engineered in it so that it will automatically shut off if the valve senses fluid coming up the tube. This means you could put it in a small engine fill tube and just let er rip and it will stop on its own when full. I haven't tested that feature but that would be handy!
They sure jacked up the price on those cans due to those fancy valves though!
Also, do you know why people would buy those metal cans of premixed gas and oil? Is it a better product? or people don't feel comfortable mixing their own anymore? I look at those on the shelf and have no idea why they sell those!
Nice weather for cutting wood for December though!
CC - I really like this design for a can you can lay over like this with no leaks. Not sure if it has a fill stop mode tho, but another handle on the back side would make it nice.
Got this one at TSC in Fremont, and it was a bit more than a standard rig, but thought I would give it a try. I like it!
I bought the higher octane premix to fire my chainsaws up after sitting for a few years. After that, went to 93 in the red can.
Be careful if you buy pre-mix in the cans, because that stuff evaporates sitting on the shelf in the stores, and may end up with much less than you thought you purchased.
That little Jonesred can I posted is really sweet tho. Fills easily with no mess, and pours easily as well. Little gizmo under the cap that makes this work well. It was worth the 8 bucks.
If I get ambitious, may just go cut the rest of that Oak up into 12' chunks and stack it on some pine rails.
Have a nice fireplace and wood stove in the house, but dad's lungs are shot, so it's paying for propane.
