Fuel can

HATE no spill

Rubbish idea

end up spilling more

but that's just me:001_huh:

I have my original oregon can with non-spill spout, its now about 15years old with original spout. Says it all. Colleagues seem to get about 6months with the Husky ones before the spouts give out.

[Sam Thompson]

Husky can works well, its pretty sturdy. I use mineral oil and the "no spill" caps work well.

[Wolfie]

Last three combi-cans have been Oregon. They are nice and cheap but if you use the original spout, only half tighten it otherwise it pulls out of the thread and leaks.

as the stihl no fills get older the fuel one starts jamming, also on a hot day if u forget to release the preasure befor filling it pees everywere exept ur fuel tank,,, but it has to be the stihl with the normal oil spout and a quick fill fuel spout for me

[Joshua]

Stihl can with the non spill caps, been using the caps for over 18 months without a sign of sticking or leaking.

this is why i think normal filling is easier

plus you're not putting dust etc inside your tank

I like stihl and think they are cutting edge but no spill is dubious:001_huh:

just wipe the end of the nozzle before filling

If it blows up with gas on a hot day it's your own fault for leaving it in the sun and not realeasing it before use, if you get dust in the tank then you should of wiped it first. I think they are brilliant , only problem I ever had was I ran 1 over with the Mog in a monoblock car park in summer, kibooom!!!!! Come on Stihl get your act together lol

It's all down to personal preference

I understand the mechanics of this but I would release the pressure and get fuel on my hands/gloves + waft of fumes. Then wipe crap off again a pain. Then unless concentrating and unsighted by the can and spout fuel would invariably bubble out of the tank.

Plus you have to push down quite hard which rocks the saw and is even worse with a small strimmer/hedgecutter. Plus from memory I remember them sometimes jamming open.
