Indeed, if it is 6l, it is an apparent contravention of the Petroleum-Spirit (Plastic Containers) Regulations 1982 [section 3.1 (b)]

I see what you say buddy, the harkie can holds 6l Fuel - 3l oil.

The body of the Stihl can is well made & pretty stable (stays in an upright position quite well) and it's very easy to see the contents but the screw on caps are rubbish.... the oil screw cap broke on mine within a few months and the fuel nozzle broke today.

 

It's nuts that there seems very little consideration that these containers are designed to carry an extremely volatile liquid.... highly flammable petrol!!.... yet the quality of the plastic caps is poor (to say the least).

 

How long will it be before someone sets their vehicle on fire due to a can falling over in the boot and spilling 5 litres of petrol everywhere??!.....

 

It's mad that these cans pass our bureaucratic supposedly health & safety system!

Try the new husky can then, pretty much bomb proof!

Have they got metal screw caps?

Bought one of these for £16.10 free post.

Seems to work fine, clear plastic but no place to put tools. However I find I actually use it more often than the Stihl one as it is cheap to replace when I run over it or drop a tree on it!

If some of these cans are costing £67 you can buy a lot of fuel/chains for the £50 difference!

They have metal IN the screw caps, although the whole can is made of the thickest plastic I've seen on a combi can! Despite holding less fluid, they weigh a lot more than a Stihl can.

Cheers. Do you know if the caps will fit the Stihl cans?

No, they won't.
