So being on a mission wondering where my extra spout has been hiding since 2018. Because of this thread. It lit a fire today.

Struck gold on about 7th spot I checked. Was outside inside bench #3

I just want to see how close this stihl aftermarket spout is to the oem husky one for fit. Curiously got the better of me. Extra 10 bucks off did me in too.

Cant stand design of the older green spout husky one as I use funnels alot without hands.

I have never seen a Husqvarna one with a green spout. Are you referring to the Holzforma knock-off, or was there a previous husky design?

If gas cans have to be RED, how come there are orange ones marketed in the US?

Husky had the green spouts before the newer one like I have they updated to long ago.

The clone of husky is the older husky.

Both OEM and AFM shown

Do we have orange gas cans? Maybe 1980's I had a orange one in MT and my dad still has it.

Why do they get to sell saws here in US that dealers cant sell. Just read between the lines.

Everyone can be bought IMHO to look the other way.

My guess is volume of sells made. Not enough for them to worry about.

Just like us getting OEM stuff shipped in that isnt red or even oem saws.

When's the last time you seen a new 288 sold at dealer or a OE 372. But snap your fingers one can be at your door.

Simple search. I guess it is a real rule too.

In the United States, gas cans for gasoline must be red, as required by OSHA:

• Red: Gasoline or flammable liquids
• Yellow: Diesel
• Blue: Kerosene
• Green: Oils or mixed fuel

Aren't the orange holzforma ones sold on the internet in the US? If they must be red to be in compliance, how can they be sold in the US on amazon or other internet outlets

Where are you seeing those? Have you found any in a retail store?

I know that some companies market what is obviously intended as gas can as "water storage containers" to get around the restrictions, but I have not seen orange ones of that particular dodge.
