See I had 1  of those from way back . It never let me down and the nozzles shut off every time .  It fell off my truck and broke the nozzle . I bought a new nozzel but it would never shut off . Had 3 or 4 more of those cans over the years and the nozzels always fcuked up .   Also they fall over easily with a small foot print and bulginging high center of gravity .  Went for the new Husky can as it had a better footprint and is more stable . I think the nozzels work fine but I only use Alkylate fuel . I think they don't like pump fuel .

I’d get the 5L can so much easier if using  one shots 

Sorry, what do you mean by one shots?

I think he means the little Stihl " one shot " bottles of 2t oil . You snap the cap off and pour it in , does exactly 5ltrs . Expansive way of doing it but convenient .

I dont use these small bottles but i use husqvarna/Universal oil and yeah the oil that i use has a mark for mixing with 5l, so yeah it would be easier to mix the gas. 

 

I'm abit confused now, there seems to be 5/3L  and 6/3L combi can from Oregon and other than the size difference, you could also buy a storage bag for 6/3l to store the tools on.

 

Am i correct?

Another big up for the Stihl can. 👍🏻

 

If you think you can save money by buying a Husky can, you will regret it before before summer has come & gone. Anyone thinking of buying one should just set fire to their hard earned cash, then save up & buy a Stihl combi can.

Oregon cans are ok, though you might still be better off buying Stihl auto filler spouts (if that's what you're after) for longevity & reliability.

 

If Husky made their saws like they make their cans, it would at least end the ceaseless Stihl saws V Husky saws debate at a stroke.

Now that’s a good shout 👍🏼

Works well. Full to the top is slightly over 100ml. If you use the normal 1L measuring bottle you can fill them to exactly 100ml. Buy oil in bulk bottles, works out cheap.
