Best combi fuel can?

[RobRainford]

i got some clear cans a while ago, i think they were oregon, the stihl anti spill spouts fit on them and the can is half the price of the stihl one

IMO, the Stihl can is best easy to see how much fuel and oil is in it. The spouts are good too. Unless husky put a window so you can see the contents then they will always be second best.

I found with the Husky combi the small dimples on the bottom would wear away then the oil would leak out.

The Husky ones leak if the spout is no affixed dead plumb.

 

The Stihl ones can dribble. Also, I know someone who recently changed from a Husky combi to a Stihl can and raved about how good it was, just two weeks late he managed to whack the can's open neck, (don't know how he did it) splitting it in two places. Never known anyone split a Husky combi, (unless it was run over by a Landy/tractor).

 

Sure it looks snazzy. But only use in the field will tell if the new Husky can is any better than the old one. Suppose you could swap to Aspen and use one of their hold-it-all gizmos.

What hold it all gizmo? I use aspen and have the spout too, do they have something else?

Which Aspen spout do you speak of?

Can't remember what it's called but it's a metal frame with a carry handle. It's got arms that attach to an Aspen 5L can on one side and one of their bar oil cans on the other. Plus a place for a scrench & files.

Only gripe with the stihl cans is their oil cap is too large for the husky top handles. But of a pain in the arse... otherwise decent.
