Anyone try the Holzfforma Fuel/oil container?

[John_Mc]

virtually all small engines state in the owners manual to only use premium gas, without Ethanol.

Is not advice.
What does your saw owners manual say about fuel?

The owners manual for my 562 XP says:

"Do not use gasoline with an octane grade less than 90 RON/87 AKI." Gas sold at the pump in the USA is rated at the average of the two, so 88.5 minimum. No one reports partial points of octane, so 89, to be safe. That's mid grade gas around here.

The manual also says "Use good quality unleaded gasoline with a maximumof 10% ethanol contents."

I don't run ethanol gas in any of my small engines, despite the fact that most small engine manufacturers say that up to 10% ethanol is OK. Since the only non-ethanol fuel available here (other than the canned stuff - way too expensive) is premium, that's what I buy.

Had the husky oem one out using yesterday trimming up some fruit trees.

It's so nice if going into the hills with these to carry one thing with the saw. Bar oil and mix plus. Holds tools, extra chains, files, plug, etc. 1 hand for this and 1 for saw. Easy peasy.

I just wish I knew where my other nozzle is like you need. It's in my shop/garage somewhere never used.

But being 48x32 with many shelves up around 8' high. I may never come across it.

This is 2 of 10-12 of these. The other ones full of bins and parts etc etc.

I use a backpack that holds all the gear I need including fuel and bar oil. I keep the fuel in little oil jugs.

I find these jugs interesting. I to have an all in one that I carry though mine is homemade and the tools are in the chainsaw scabbard. I can carry both on the toplink of the tractor which makes it very handy.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist. I do find those jugs interesting though.

It's one of those accessories that once you get it, you don't go back.

That's just STUPID advice.

The effective compression ratio of modern two strokes is no better than 8 or 9 to one. High Octane is just so much fluey!
Ethanol is a carburettor component issue. I've had good luck, but I'm not opposed to taking a carb apart to unstick the sticky parts.
I'm 73, and "able" is no reason to buy a fuel can with stupid features.

The issue is that in many locations the only non ethanol gas is premium grade. That’s all I can find in my area.

HD I have one that looks like this. View attachment 1899181
But I got it probably 30+ years ago, pre nozzle foolishness I believe from Baileys.com.
Anymore I find it a little more convenient to just carry a small jug of mix and whatever jug the bar oil comes in.

I have the same can. Also bought 30+ years ago.

The link you posted shows this can costs $38.40 on EBay. Where are they selling for $150?
