    Afternoon dudes, I’ve an empty 25l kerosene tank here from an emergency heating oil refill. Am I okay to just repurpose it for petrol straight off, to store chainsaw fuel prior to mixing with 2stroke oil? Surely what little kerosene clinging to the sides will be diluted enough to not cause me any problems later on? Thanks.

    Cheers for the advice the other day dudes, I now have a job. Much grateful, I am! Now, how do I get out of ever going near a leylandii hedge ever again?

    All good advice, thanks for that. Don't worry, the noise of one of the other guys on the course doing that all the time drove me nuts. Well, two out of three isn't bad at least! Don't worry, I'm the exact opposite... no gear, and only half an idea. Roger that! Custard creams and bourbon biscuits packed. I'll move slow, steady, and safely; ask about anything I'm unsure of, and generally try not to be a twat. Huge thanks for all the advice chaps, I'll let you know how I get on.

    Evening all, how do? I'm in the middle of a career change after 17 years in kitchens. Did an intensive course last November and came away with my CS30/31, CS38, and CS39, plus tickets for stump grinder and wood chipper, but since that I've been a full-time dad. I've only ever had two days of practical work experience. Now, in two days time I've got a trial day with a local tree care company. I'll be felling a few trees for him and showing a brief climb, among other things. Quick question... if you had someone as green as me show up on site for a trial, what stupid mistakes could I make that would, at best, make me a laughing stock, or at worst, make you throw me off site straight away? Cheers for any advice dudes.
