Doing a little cleaning out garage. Took all fuel cans outside. Looked at
bottoms of old metal kerosene dans, decided to put some rust converter on.
I was filling up various polyethylene cans, with oil and or fuel
stabilizers, cleaners. Added cap ffull of alcohol to kerosene.

Putting cans back in garage. Then I noticed full can of kerosene leaking on
bottom.
Wiped up mess, then started transferring into almost empty kerosene tank.
To day I start filling polyethylene blue container with kerosene.

I just got this container about two years ago. O ring fall out, broken, two
other parts, and darn if I can get anything out of the spout. My intentions
are to buy two water containers for my kerosene. I can't deal with these
new no spill cans, i can't even get anything out. I use a pump to get
kerosene anyway.

The other thing, I'm going to keep all fuels out of garage.

bulbs..Brought to you by the moonbats and environuts...At some point there
will be black market aternatives if not already...Gotta look into
that...LOL...

These cans are a perfect example of why you should not let the idiots in
government mandate things. I've spilled more gas with blurping from
these stupid cans than I ever did from the old cans.

Anybody know if the old style cans can be purchased in Canada?

I'll be heading up north in a few weeks and might just pick up a few
(for my own use, of course) if they haven't converted yet.

You criticize me for suggesting to give a tree owner back his own wood, and
then propose violation of international law, smuggling across national
borders? Pot, kettle......

Quit back peddling. You were wrong to suggest that the OP get some
teenagers to throw the wood over the fence. Don't try to convince me that
you were being in a "giving mood".

Care to point out where in my post I propose smuggling anything?

I asked if they were available for sale in Canada. I also specifically said
that I *might* pick up a few of them for my own use which implies I had no
intention of breaking any laws by bringing them back for sale in this
country.

"I might" means I'll do it if, one, if they're available, and two, it's
legal to bring them into the states for personal use. With the fairly
simple way to fix the US models available via YouTube, do you really think
I'm going to risk arrest or whatever punishment would result if I tried to
smuggle a couple of gas cans into the US? Gimme a break...the risk-reward
ratio just doesn't make it worth the effort.

How's this for proof that I don't plan to "smuggle" anything? Last summer I
declared that I had a bunch of fruit, including 2 mangos, that my wife
bought at a farm market. Turns out mangos aren't grown in Canada and
therefore not allowed into the US. That little declaration caused us to be
delayed for 30 minutes as they did a cursory inspection of my vehicle for
other contraband.

I, unlike you, was not suggesting anything illegal.

I forgot, there is also a kerosene shortage here. I guess the jets are
using it up.

1) It's not his wood once it's in her yard except for some might specialized
cases, IIRC.

2) DD is contemplating an action he alone will take and be responsible for
whereas:

3) You've suggested that doing wrong is the right course of action for
another person

4) We don't even know if purchasing a gas can in Canada and bringing it back
filled with emergency gas (hint DD) is illegal. Got a cite for the
international law he'll be violating?

I've been looking, but gas cans don't seem to be among the many things
listed that are prohibited to bring into the US.

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_p.../cis_1082.html

Has a lot of useful numbers that anyone contemplating returning with a gas
can or two might call to be sure their purchases won't be confiscated at the
border. You might even bring your old, crappy US gas can along going in,
declare it, and then ditch the US can and buy a Canadian one explaining that
it was leaking. But I am not sure we've even ascertained the cans sold in
Canada are substantially different in design.

First, you're not suggesting anything of the kind. If the wood is on your side
of the property line, it's not the neighbor's. It's yours. ...and your
problem.

Second, buying a gas can, or toilet, in Canada and bringing it back to the US
for personal use is *not* smuggling. Old one may be illegal to sell (not sure
what the legal status of gas cans is) but they are *not* illegal to possess.

"Squeeze"? It's not a ketchup bottle. ;-) My 1-gal has a flow control
valve; quite nice to fill my weed-whacker. My 2-1/2 gal doesn't but it does
have a "overflow" tube, which I find quite convenient.
