High cost of fuel cans!!!!

[SStiss]

The only legal cans in OH are the horrible "ventless" ones, which almost invariably cause me to spill fuel all over the place while trying to fill my mower. They're apparently "safer".

I can't find a good gas or diesel can anywhere. I completely agree about the ventless cans being horrible. The spout gets stuck in the open position after filling up my lawn mower, and when I try to stop pouring, diesel goes everywhere! I'm sure this is so much safer than the old cans. Anyone have any ideas? Are the military cans good for filling up lawnmowers?

I don't know about filling a lawn mower but they work good on the truck I think a big 5 gal can is overkill for a lawn mower ?

Normally I would agree with you, but I have Kubota GR 2110 that has a 4. 8 gallon tank. I don't have any other way to fill it other than a 5 gallon diesel can, so to answer your question, no, it's not overkill.

Hell I feel horrible. . these are all you can buy in CT as well... I've had one for 2 years and I absolutely love mine... . I haven't spilled a drop since I got that plastic fuel can.

Ok. . let's see... . lift can, put spout into fuel tank... tilt can up. Oh yes I see the directions are written on the bottom... . :-laf
