I've been looking at the new Blitz fuel container with the thumb-valve as a way to make the fueling of my tractor less of a hassle, and wondering if anyone's tried them. My local Home Depot carries them.

Right now I'm using the older non-valve Blitz 5 gallon fuel container. I have to pack the area around the fuel spout with paper towel, put on latex gloves, stick a left-hand finger over the spout opening, tip the container over with the right hand, get the spout near the opening, and move my finger hoping I hit the mark.

I'm hoping the new spout will allow me to place the spout into the fuel opening and then release the fuel.

My only concern is how slow the fuel flow might be - with the new valve.

Thanks,

Ken

The one I used 2 weeks ago was junk, as well as it's brother next to it. So frustrating that I went and got a funnel and took the dang cap piece off.

I would suggest looking at a Motorcycle Fuel can (try an offroad bike shop or online) long hose and designed to be easily held.

Off onto a short rant, but again, it is our elected government doing us in for our own good.

I still don't understand the purpose of these cans. Other than to cause us to raar of course.

The three things I have seen with these have already been mentioned...
1. They are incredibly SLOW.
2. They are complete JUNK.
3. I don't think there is a GOOD purpose for them.

I guess I can't add anything else ... KennyV

When we last went to Canada I picked up a dozen spouts which I have been installing on gas cans that we have here. The spouts look like this and have a place for gas to go down and a place for air to go back up.
The best part is that they have NO MOVING PARTS. Well worth it IMO.

Thought I would add a picture.

Motorcycle Fuel Cans at Motorcycle Superstore

The ones with two handles are nice.

You want fast and controlled, they have a setup that I cannot remember the name of at the moment with a lever (like a mc clutch lever) attachment with a valve for quick dumps on races.

Look for the guys serious about hare scrambles or enduro and that is what they will be running.

But the regular ones are available in multiple colors etc. if that is a concern to you. (yellow is the diesel standard) but I myself like the clear/ translucent jugs

You can thank the EPA. They decided you shouldn't be releasing all those fumes into the air when your gas can gets hot/cold. :confused2::confused2:

But they sure love for us to spill the gas on the ground when you can get it out of the inferior spout or when you say to **** with it and take the top off and pour it without a spout.;)

I use the new blitz poly can, it has the funky valve on it, it is slower, but if you use it correctly you can avoid spills better than the old type spouts.
You just have to be a little more patient.
