Fuel Mix and Bar Oil Rig - Let's See 'Em!

[Multifaceted]

I really like the look of these combo cans made by Husqvarna and Scepter but why are they 1.32 gallons. Any tips on mixing oil for 1.32 gallons?

Mix one gallon?

Go to a metric mix chart for 5l and your ratio .
I bought one of those 2in1 cans at home depot, used it a couple of times but I prefer my 10l gas cans and a separate barlube container .
Like Del , my gas can and a rectangular bar lube jug will fit in a milk crate with some room for a bit of stuff , the square lube jugs like the Stihl ones won't so I'll usually just bungee cord them together if I'm carrying them any distance .

Those spouts work awesome , I have 2 cans and 2 spouts , when one starts to get low I fill and mix the second one , 10l and a cup of mix is 40:1 .

Hey Dan, What is that blue tool in your photo?

It's a Husqvarna felling lever

Stihl has one as well

Nice! Never saw one before. Looks like they could be handy for those stubborn trees.

A home-made box that I usually bungee to my ATV. Can fit any of Ps-421, 510, or 6100

I run 2.5 gallon cans with ez-pour spouts the oil cans I take the screen out. the fill the saws easily , I only mix 2 gallons at a time typically buy the oil in ready to go 2 bottles just dump and add 2 gallons of gas , if I need more I have 5 and 6 gallon cans also with the ez-pour spouts .

the cans were all free they had garbage tops on them and as people I knew moved they all left their gas cans behind easier to by a new can when they got to their new house than move the old one.

my local saw shop gets bar oil in bulk , I have a 10w and a 30w bar oil can and when I need more I just stop off at the saw shop and get a gallon dump it in and hand him back the jug to refill.

I just never cut that far from the truck or tractor that I could justify the 2 in 1 can yet , maybe when these fail. I though about getting the 2 in 1 then I realized if I am that far from the truck how am I going to carry the wood out.

I use a GI pistol belt with suspenders and some bucket boss pouches to carry wedges and tools the rest of the tools are in a tool bag in the truck.

Here's my post from a few years ago on bar oil storage. I'm still using the same method...

40 liters of mix and 30 liter oil. Fill it up in Januari and mostly lasts the year.
In the shed we use a 230V to 12V convertor for the hedgetrimmer and weedwacker etc.

Never any spills unless I forget to unplug the thing before I set of and something bumps the button.

I never cut in the woods - only yard trees, so I'm never far from the truck. Nothing special for that.

But I just organized my 'warehouse' (a 2-car garage) where I store my saws and tools. Can't find the pics, though!!
