Anyone try the Holzfforma Fuel/oil container?

[Panik]

Unfortunately, my much liked Husqvarna fuel & oil refueling container broke. The auto shut off feature for the fuel side stays stuck open.
I really like this container and have used the heck out of it.
Bought it for like $40 in 2019.
Now they are $150.
I see there are replacement nozzles for other types, but haven’t found for Husq.

Found this

You may have already tried this, but have you searched using the term "fuel dolmar"? Apparently dolmar used to be a brand prior to being bought out... at least in the wildland fire world the term has become somewhat synonymous with combined fuel/oil jerrys.

Would something like this fit the bill?

The one Farmertec copied in the older version of the husky one before ours we have now and they also did the stihl one too if I recall right.

I’m going to try the replacement nozzle for $47 (must be gold plated, right?) and one of the new fangled Chinese Holzfforma cans

I have a brand new spring loaded nozzle in shop unused since 2018. Have yet to come across it on the shelves since put in there.

Guess I could retire again if it ever turns up.

Let us know how the Holzforma can works. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the plastics on the Farmertec saws I bought but that was a few years ago. Maybe they have improved.

For $350 I wonder if they're having to smuggle them in past the EPA. The spouts work really well and don't drip or leak any gas, as long as you're filling a saw with the right size opening. They work better than the NoSpill spouts.

Check out the nozzles on the stihl version one they sell. They remind me of the ones on our newer husky one.

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.

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

I could not care less what the owner's manual reads.
I take care of my own stuff.
I fix it if it breaks.
My Husky saw is 10 years old at least, and the Mac 10-10 is 30 years old or more.
Neither has ever had a problem.

Both work every time .
