fuel cans
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. Greg |

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. |

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...... Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "DerbyDad03" wrote in message ...

I wonder if there are *very* different designs. I rather like the last couple of gas "cans", I've bought. I don't spill with either and they're far more "secure" than the can's I've had in the past. |

I wonder how you would hold a 5 gallon can, push in on the spout, while balancing the funnel, and squeezing trying to get flow? Greg |

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. |
