Fuel Jug

It's also an unapproved container. Probably depends on local culture, but some stations around here will stop you if you try to fill the wrong color, or use a non fuel container.

I have that same one Donk. I had to order it from the UK, it's great. No spilling, just remember to vent it before you go to dispense. I'm a chronic saw gas overfiller so that can has probably saved me what I paid for it in unspilled fuel.

I'm old enough I remember the brutal winters of the 50's and 60's .So last of  fall I stock up on gasoline , propane and of course fire wood .I've got propane heat which doesn't do much good  unless you have electric power .That's what the two generators are for if it goes out .Plenty of heat,food and barley pop .

My old stand by, I never spill a drop. Also leaves a little head space.

I've been using one of those for a couple of years now. Wish I'd found it long ago. Gas oil and a few simple tools in one container. I like the fact that it fills the fuel and the oil to just below the brim of the saw's tanks and then stops.

You definitely do need to remember to vent the fuel side before filling if the temperature has warmed at all since it was filled.

It's a bummer that they are not sold in the US. I had to order mine from the UK, which drove the price up a bit.

  I use the same.  Great jugs.

I've been using the no spill jugs for several years I have 2 1 1/4, a 5 gal and a yellow for diesel. I also have several other 5 gal jugs for gasoline. I will typically fill the no spill from the spout type jugs. As my other jugs age out I will replace them with no spill. I keep several jugs filled with 93 octane non ethanol in a fuel locker that I built.

I have been using the NoSpill Yellow Diesel jugs for several years.


And there are three in the back of my work truck.

My nice surprise was finding that they made a 1 1/4 gallon jug for my chainsaw gas.

I once used old anti freeze jugs for the saw gas until one day I anti freezed a saw only to dump saw gas in a tractor radiator .So much for that idea .

[doc henderson]

you can paint metal cans to designate fuel type, and I bought a chrome one to carry extra diesel for travel.  They are chromed so I bought some official sticker to label then gas or diesel.  We have found ourselves getting low and a ways from fuel in parts of the country.

I actually have a kerosene can,5 gallon Delphos brand BTW I live about 15 miles from Delphos Ohio .The diesel I use an old military gerry can and only use that stuff to light a slash pile because I don't own a diesel engine other than my old D4 Caterpillers I haven't used in 30 years . It only takes about a quart of diesel to ignite a slash pile so 5 gallons lasts a long time .

On public land and mill land they make us use labels on the gas jugs. It's not even a label that says gas or diesel, is a WHIMIS thing. Means 'Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System'. WHMIS.org

Last oil I bought was Penzoil synthetic(5qt jug). I usually use walmart synthetic, but I got the Penzoil cause it comes in a yellow jug. I wanted the yellow bottle so I can put a gallon of diesel in it for miscellaneous cleaning purposes. Don't tell anyone it's unapproved  ;^)

Mineral Spirits is an overlooked solvent/cleaner.  I have used a squirt bottle of MS to remove pitch from the sawblade rather than Diesel.

Lxsklr may be onto something there. We keep some oil and fuel for the chainsaw down at the mill. we don't use much just for cutting slabs, but we need some on hand. Problem is Bill uses a Husky oil jug for the bar oil and also uses a Husky oil jug for the fuel. I have to check very carefully... EVERYTIME. You know what is bound to happen, right? I tried marking it with a sharpie, but it seems to keep wearing off. Lumber crayon don't work good on plastic either. I'll look for a different color jug that works.

[Twowithone]

I got the 2 1/2 jug works well.
