Dispensing Chain Oil

[Marc Lewis]

I find it is only when they are full i have issues so When i get a new 20/25l can, i pour half of it into the old when. Both then pour well into combi can without spills.

Hi Marc if you need any I have some thanks Jon

Getting it from a 25L container into either a combi or 5L container, is proving to be both messy and time consuming.

 

Tried siphoning with a poly tube and that didn't work. Though chain oil is surprisingly light on the pallet, (taken in minute amounts). And tipping from container-container via a funnel messy. So, are there better (less messy, less wasteful) methods? Anything like a screw-on cap with built-in flexible tube or small inexpensive pump? By the way, it's to fit an Oregon container, just in case their thread is different to others.

 

how long does it take you to fill a 5ltr container ????

So how do you pour half out in the first place without having issues?

I use a cut off 500ml coke bottle cut in half as funnel to fill oregon combi can , leave the round bit that used to be attached to cap as a seal,, i dont like coke but buy a bottle to use a funel ,

... A 5l can costs £3.00 per litre (plus vat), whilst in a 20l it works out at £2.95. Only 5p cheaper to buy in large cans, its never worth the effort.

 

Normally I buy 5L at around £18inc.. But at show last year, I got 25L for £39inc. Sold 5L on for £18 and gave brother-in-law about 3L. But that still just works out around £1.23 per Ltr. or £7.60 per 5L. So providing I don't spill too much, that's quite a saving.

Seemingly, too long.

You can get tap caps for the 25l barrels, however in all but the hottest weeks of summer the oil is a bit slow, which is why I prefer to use a funnel straight into the can.
