Agreed and I only use non ethanol gas in all of my small engines. We can thank our government for the useless benefit of adding corn to our fossil fuel!

I use one of those as well, now!

No poly for me!

Justrite & Eagle metal cans are made by the same manufacturer in the same factory and I believe they are the best and safest way to store fuel. If I hadn’t decided to wash out my poly can, I would never had know the top seam had failed so I’m really not wanting to own poly can but can’t fault...

Guess there are several tried techniques that work and I’ve read that even letting it run out of fuel can eventually leave some residue that bill build up, in the carb. Others say this technique causes the fuel hose to dry out, so perhaps there are several different ways to ensure a good spring...

Thanks for the reply & info, I appreciate it!

I’ve noticed that my poly can’s flexible nozzle leaks where it’s attached to the can and after a closer look, I noticed the rubber gasket was all cracked into small pieces, some of which were missing. Now I can only assume that some are in the container so I’m going to pour all the gas out of...

Yeah, there are people like that and perhaps money is meaningless to them, but then, why would they be doing these landscaping chores themselves? Unfortunately the US has an over abundance of lazy and stupid people.

Great information and it really makes a whole lot of sense and explained well, thank you! Every gas can I fill, I add STA-BIL that day so I don’t have to think about if the gas has been stabilize. I also put a piece of blue tape on each can with the date of when the gas was purchase. I’m...
