Stihl is the dogs, had mine for years.

My only gripe is the anti-spill petrol spout is too wide for my 540, but my mates newer one fits it.

Like Dan I burnt my last Husky can, a very satisfying moment.

I like the design of my Husky type can. Didn't get on with the Stihl. I also like that you can shove a combi spanner down between the tanks on the Husky. They're often good to have to hand.

 

For years I had a old Jonsered can that a mate gave me. Same as the Husky but red, and about ten times as thick! It seems Husky have cut their production cost to the limit as when I bought a new one a few years back it was like a carrier bag. First week on the truck and a metal blade on the brushcutter put a hole in the oil tank!

 

I searched about and found a cheaper alternative. The same style as the Husky can but made closer to the old spec. I still have it and it still works. If I can figure out where I bought it I'll post a link. That really annoyed me actually - a company with such a reputation as Husqvarna shouldn't be making thin cans. What profit does that lack of plastic make? Pennies would be my guess. And the price difference between them and the Stihl is fairly big. So why not put the price up by a quid and make it properly? It would still be cheaper than the Stihl. I see that as pure disrespect for the end user...
