Fuel cans

I have the Husqvarna combi can and really like it. Storage bit is useful, holds some screnches, stump vice and files. I really like the auto-stop spouts but my fuel one has started sticking already. I only bought the can in Feb and i reckon its had no more than 30 litres through it.

 

Shame really as it's such a good can. I'll have to get a new spout and see if i can put proper viton seals in it.

 

I'd like to recommend it, but having the spout stick and shower me in fuel today wasn't really ideal.

 

Interesting its been mentioned that it won't happen if you use alkylate fuel.

That's all I use nowadays and the can is one of the first sold and the spouts still work .

I have used alkylate fuel, but not having an easy nearby supplier and the cost means i've used pump fuel mostly. I know it's not as good and i'd rather run my saws on Aspen.

 

Got 5L of it in the garage, but it's 5 times the cost of pump fuel!

Don't think it 5x the price . It is more I will grant you .

I’ve just bought a pallet of aspen and it works out at £2.67 a litre plus vat. And you don’t have to buy 2 stroke oil or go to a garage and queue up with everyone doing their weekly shopping !
