Best fuel cans

[HansFranz]

I'm looking for the burner top, with round flame spreader, for my old Svea mountaineering stove. The brass one we all had in the sixties/seventies.

The Svea Optimus that sounds like a helicopter? If I'm not mistaken, you can still get parts for them. Check ebay.

Ah well, sadly that guy with the three aluminum jerry cans felt shipping is a PITA. But I found another more local guy with another jerry can for 5€ that I will pick up this week. So now I got two.

The no spill brand is really hard to beat for the money. I've had mine tipped at all angles and not leaked a drop that wasn't my own doing. They drain at a reasonable rate too.

I just bought a No-Spill. Bought a thirsty new saw, Tru-Fuel ain't going to cut it anymore, going to start mixing my own again. Need something smaller and easier to pour from than the NATO cans.

Get a 5L nato can. What u use for my mix gas, keep a old 5 gal can on stand by for mix, if I know I'm getting into a big project.

If I could find a better pouring spout for the NATO cans, something more suited to small engines, that's definitely the route I'd have gone. Any ideas?

What size? I have a few 5 gallon cans and a 2.5 gallon dedicated for my saws. It's a great set up for fueling small tanks. Soon as you let off the button no more fuel regardless of the cans position. You can literally hold the can upside down and not spill a drop. Feather the button for desired amount of fuel.

This is what I use. The little adapter slips in the flexible end of the spout. Works pretty nice for the saws and trimmers.

2.5gal, should be plenty for anything I do. I've seen others use the No-Spill and was quite impressed.

Very similar to the spouts I have, just minus the adapter.

I miss the America where we made things….

The Project Farm video @MagraAdam posted had several USA made cans, including the No-Spill.

That’s what makes them so safe….does it have the cork gasket still?
