Husqvarna Combi canister 5+2.5l

[covex]

For many years I am using this canister (5807542-01) it's design is great, except.. well the automatic spouts (that should be the main advantage of this canister)....

I have very early version of it - the first spouts I had the nut had cracked after a while - they were grey plastic. I've changed the nut from a non-automatic spout (black plastic), but it was not easy as it seems everything is pressed in and can not be disassembled, then the nuts seems to stop cracking. Then the auto oil spout stopped to pop out, making me angry every time I was filling the oil, so I changed it for a non-auto one. After some time the same thing happened to gas spout.

I found this video of a man complaining a fixing the same thing

Those spouts are pretty expensive - actually instead buying both new, it's better to buy a complete canister. Now my question is - does the new spouts fix this issue or husqvarna is trying to rob us with this? Are there any better options with automatic spouts?

The best fix I’ve found was to throw it onto a fire and buy the Stihl one instead.

I have one . They are only any good if you use an alkylate fuel only . As soon as you put pump fuel in them they turn to rat shit . As Mark says above . Get a Stihl one and forget it .

Did some more search and this is a common problem, do not understand how HQ can ignore it for such a long time..

Hello, About a year ago I bought a Husqvarna combi can 5+2.5L. Last summer it worked great and was really satisfied with it. This year, after some 5 months of not...

I've wanted to buy the 15l can from HQ (580 75 45‑01) but this really makes me to think twice.

I got fed up after both a Husqvarna and an Oregon one failed and leaked.  I now just use an 5L aspen can filled with pump fuel and a 5L oregon chain oil can.  Both pour really well without a funnel if you keep them at about 3/4 full.  But I'm normally never far from a vehicle.
