New *&%^ EPA Fuel Containers

[Bob77064]

When I got my tractor I bought a Blitz fuel can with the trigger. It leaks and when I asked the man at TSC about these, he said all the new type leak. This must be a better idea. Cuts down on vapors but they leak.

I get "No-Spill" brand at my Stihl dealer. Never had a leak and I have dropped one and it shut off instantly.

I threw mine out the first time I used it. Took a diesel bath. I bought a steel diesel can. Cost more, but don't leak, plus the plastic junk takes too long to empty.

I have 6 of the Blitz cans and most of them dump gas or fuel every time I use them. I am always adjusting the rubber seal to reseat it. What a flawed design. Thanks for the No-Spill brand suggestion. I see that in addition to Stihl dealers, ACE Hardware, Gemplers, Bailey's On Line carries them. There's an ACE almost withing walking distance of me, so I gotta go now ...

Had a couple "Blitz" EPA approved containers; junked them both as they leaked more fuel in the few times I tried them than all the fuel spilled in the previous 40 years(JUNK). I haunt yard sales looking for old style "vented" containers. Will never(I know;never say never) buy another EPA approved can

Guess I have to check and see if I tightened it enough.

We bought Canadian spouts for our EPA cans. They fit perfectly and don't have a leaky valve.
