Where to find gas and bar oil combo can/ best bar brand

[Mr.Rapidan]

I am trying to find a gas can with gas on one side, chain oil on the other half. Also, looking into a new bar, which offbrand (not stihl) would anyone recommend that has a skip chain as an option for 3/8 on 20" or 24" bars, please include links.

Hi, I am not a fan of any of the combo cans so can't help you there. Your bar cares not if you run skip or full compliment chain. What is important to know is your pitch (3/8) and guage, (likely .050) Bars are  like saws are and come in home owner, mid grade and pro grade.  I dispise the home owners bars myself. If you go to Oregon Web site and find the product selector chose professional grade parts and enter your information and they make it easy, good, better,  best choices.  Or just call one of the site sponcers  like LCS and ask. Personally I like the power match bars on my larger saws and prolite bars for limbing.

It was my understanding that the combo "piggy" cans can no longer be manufactured due to CARB compliance.   You know, that is where some stupids that have never used a gas can designed the things you can buy today that spill more gas. 

Edit:  It seems they do still make them, with the stupid nozzle on them.  Google "piggy gas can"  and you will find some.

I have 2 stihl combo cans since 15 years, they work great.  Spend  the extra money in the zero spill nozzle, worth every $

[Mr.Rapidan]

Thanks, I'll look up both the piggy and stihl combo cans

mine are Scepter I think is the brand name. a little heavier than the wedco but will last a ton longer. mine has had trees and skidder on it and I dump out the gas or oil bring it home and put the air hose in it and its as good as new. only once have I had to putty a crack shut from doing that and its on the top and no trouble. even the gas spout is original and don't leak and ive had it forever! I had a wedco once. read my lips J-U-N-K  ;). paper thin and the nozzles leaked like old faithful. sorry for the rant but I'm funny about a few things and gas cans are one of them  :D

oh and Oregon powermatch plus on the bars

Google "Stihl Gas Can toolbox.  There are two of these on eBay up for bid now.  No, mine is not for sale at any price.

Do a search for
  CARB Approved Mini Piggy Oil-Gas Container
Couple of places sell them. Hold about 1.5 gallons of gas.

that thing has to be from around the 60's or 70's  :D :D.

[Magicman]

Yes, mid 70's.   I've been offered $100 for it several times, but I could not replace it, so it's not for sale.

There was another company that had the same design that was also being sold on fleabay too, Blitz fuel can tool mate....I think it was. It looks like it was made by the same people almost.
