Gosh darn it!
I purchased and had delivered a new snow blower and we're due to have a
storm overnight tonight and into tomorrow. I went to Sears/Kmart looking
for a gas can (really plastic) and they did not have any. I had intentions
of getting a one gallon can, with gas, and mixing the requisite oil in it
for my snowblower.

Soooo.......now that I don't have a gas can I was going to use my hand
siphon device to get a half-gallon of gas out of my car and then do the
mixing. I gotta find a suitable container for this though. Suggestions?

Would plastic (i.e refrigerated liquid juice container) not work because it
might react with the gasoline?
All I need to do is mix a half-gallon of gas and an ounce or two of oil.

Thanks,
Walter

You mentioned Sears. Just thought you'd like ot know that the Sears
snowblowers (at least on their website) are all 4-cycle engines, and
don't require a gas/oil mix. Don't mix the gas and oil unless you've
got an owners manual that specifically tells you to do it. A gas oil
mix will possibly foul the spark plug on a 4-cycle engine.
