Try the PureGas website for E0 gas stations.

I used to like the NoSpill cans, but the trigger spring on the last one I got was so stiff it was difficult to use. More government over reach I suppose.
two weeks ago, I converted 16 fuel cans to a system that works, I still have a few more to do.

here is the kit I ordered (I ordered several):

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 3.4C and it's presently 12.2C, overcast & calm with a steady drizzle of rain! There was 2.5mm in the gauge @ 0900 and it's still coming down which is great news for my water tanks.

Yesterday's paddock transfer went very quickly. Just had to empty/move the water trough. Today's rain will negate cleaning up Paddock #4 until later in the week once things have dried enough.

I'll probably do some dhobi today.

That's about it, take care all.

Good evening all. 79ºF for the start, partly sky, light breeze. Light wind with some moderate gusts, overcast sky early the partly cloudy., and high temp was 95ºF, HI 101ºF. Rain was near but none fell here. When living in St Louis ares, nearest E0 station over 90 miles away. So everything ran on pump gas, and used stations that had good gas sales. Start treating gas after hearing all the problems, but I had no problems with cars and small engines. Boat got E0 purchased on the lake. I wonder how many people that were having problems with gas that sat in storage tanks and/or distribution channels for long time. Chapel to start day, the made pancakes for breakfast. Got front porch swept off but wind put leaves on already. Almost have tax info done, just need to find dentist payments.
PJ glad heat wave over. Glad you got some rain. Glad you puttered inside and had a great nap :)
Ron hope jump seat works out, sorry about the install issues. Hope the end of the storm clean up is in sight. Hope NASCAR was good.

Drew there is a cold front through here, I will not hit 100ºF till later in week. :)

Buppies nice rain! Never thought to use out floor scraper on mowing deck. Hope you can get hike in soon.
Buppies Glad you have all your mowing equipment running again. With the emissions on small engines the orifices have gotten smaller, hard to filter out the fines without pressure to push gas through filter. prayers sent.
Thomas sounds like nice critter time last night. Hope today went well.

Ken sorry about boiler issue. Sorry about wife sick, prayers sent. Hope not too expensive to replace boiler, and after all that work to extend it's like :(
Paul I think almost any station with good gas turnover will not have a lot of gas problems.
Chris the newer carbs have smaller orifices, and yes that makes them more susceptible to dirt in gas.

up early and not thrilled about it
power went off at 1:57; I woke up at 2am to beeping from UPS
got on laptop, 850 homes out, something fairly big, will take a few hours so since
I was wide awake anyway, and I just refilled my propane tank, out I went into the dark
and fired up the gen. Gen makes enough noise can't sleep so will read book.

I have one of those alarms that tells me when street power returns. It has such a loud output I have to
hustle to turn it off, hurts my ears, but I can sure hear it from anywhere in house.

3 o'clock. yawn
going to be a long night

70 going to 78...likely showers off and on all day, again.

Got a few small things done and watched some baseball in the afternoon.

Kil, I put those spouts on my wish list...will measure my can openings before ordering. I bought one of the spouts sold for "water" cans years ago, but it's about worn out. Fortunately, all of my plastic gas cans except one were purchased before the newfangled spouts were mandated. I treat them like heirlooms. 😁
