[AT] Gas Cans

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

I have several Blitz self venting cans, and I like them.  They don't vent
perfectly, but work pretty well.  The additional handle on the back is
really nice to pour.  They look like this.

They also make a 2 gallon can that is really handy.   I did see the enviro
friendly cans on the website.  They do look like they suck.  Glad we don't
have to use them.   Maybe I can make a few bucks buying the good cans and
shipping them to the states that don't allow them. :)

I have used these 30 gallon gas caddies and love them:

And they are made in Iowa.   Northern tool used to sell them, but now all I
see is an identical one labeled with their name.   Until I see one in
person, I am going to assume it is a cheap Chinese copy (for almost the same
price as the USA one).

The expression "Like eating Sh** with a knitting needle!" comes to mind....

When we got our JD 4255 we found out pretty quick how much of a pain it was
to pump a 65 gallon tank full with a hand pump.  Wasn't long before we
bought a 280 gallon tank and an electric pump....

And oh yeah, going back a few posts.  I hate a @#@$#$ Blitz plastic gas
can!  We have the ones that you unscrew, take the little flat plug out, and
then screw it back on--the little plastic flexable nozzle broke off after
the second or third time the can was filled.  I don't care how tight you
screw that nozzle on, it leaks and wastes gas unless you pour it into a big
funnel.
