Gas Cans
Original Message   Feb 11, 2005 7:39 pm
Any one know of a good way to modify one of these spill proof gas cans to not spill so much gas.

You almost always need to hold the spring loaded nozzle open while you are trying to fill a tank or pour into a funnel. All the while, the you are trying to watch the gas go in the tank at a terribly slow rate. Instead you are knocking over the funnel or pouring the gas down the side of the tank.

I feel like most of the time I am a pretty reasonable, forgiving sort. But I think I would like to see the person that came up with these things tarred and feathered.

What could possibly be the matter with a regular gas can? I can't get mail order, went to PA and Delaware. Forgot to look when I was in NY. Tried to buy a regular spout, doesn't fit the can.

Help.

It is someone testing the Ariens blowers as hard as they can.  I understand that Ariens does this regularly, to make sure that their machine are up to par.

Thanks for the blow-up looks like there may be a trail,  just that he may have came into the pic on a hard left hand turn,  looks like a trail on the right

That will teach me not to be a doubting thomas

He came up from the tunnel in his driveway so as to not put any foot tracks on his drive before clearing it

Received the Han-D-Pump today.  It fit right onto my 6 gallon plastic fuel container.  None of the extra pump adapters
were needed.  I only had a little fuel left, but I was able to test it, worked great  Nice to be able to
leave the container on the floor for a change  Good flow rate too.

Riche, that thing is really cool. Is that for pumping gas out of a bucket or barrell?

Hi Rick,

Actually, I've been trying to cool out a bit with the toys, but I actually slipped a disc in my lower back some months ago, so I really need to watch myself.  BTW...if this was 10 years ago, I would have a remote starter in my car.  My hobby is building life-size animated figures that you would see on TV or the movies.  Just completed a museum perfect replica of the Lost in Space B9 Robot from the 1960's TV show.  I can send you my website link in a PM if you feel you need to see my creations.

Terminator, yes, the instructions say it can be used to syphon fuel or oil from one canister to another.
