OT: It was nice knowing your E10, Hello E15

OT, but how are you guys coping with fuel these days. I'd figuered I'd post mine. I tend to add 1oz- 2oz of Seafoam to 1 Gallon Gas tank. Fuel just doesn't last these days... I use it mainly for the stabilizing properties in OPE. Even on the rides, aside from Redline S1, etc - I too tend to add a ~witches~ brew on every fillup. Not moreso to keep the injectors clean, but due to the sh!$$y fuel quality these days, I do find the ~loooobricity~ noticable with the witches brew. --- ----- -------- BTW, I hate these new EPA style gas cans. I'm holding on to my seperate vent gas cans for dear life and anytime I pass by a ~old town~, I'll pop into the local gasoline store or hardware store to add more to the stash.

Yeah.  I can't stand those new gas cans, fully pressurized and balloons out too easily.  Those Blitz cap/valve thingy is pure junk.  I broke the lever that activates the plunger after one year of use.

In search for those old metal gas cans with the metal gooseneck.

It's a conspiracy, new crappy gas, crappy gas cans, fixed (finicky) jets, and hard to start handheld equipment.  Back to electric and battery powered equipment.

I've got a nice metal jerrycan if you want it ;-) I'm done with Metal too. Dents, Heavy, etc. The last metal one I used was just for the boat. The best ones in my stash is a heavy plastic one I use at the rqcetrack. Looks like a big oversized milk jug. Not sure if it's *DOT* stamped but it's works just great, flows fast, and it doesn't leak.

Not sure if I want a jerry can from World War II era, unless it's strapped to a Jeep.

On second thought, a cold metal gas can on a winter day doesn't sound too appealing, sucks all the heat out of me.
