Default Things are really nuts!

I went all over today looking for a 1 gallon gas can for chain saw gas. They are the same crap everywhere. All this safety baloney, the stinking things are UNSAFE and a pain in the azz! And to boot, they are from $14 to $2-. I went a jug of vinegar, dumped the vinegar in the compost pile and filled the jug with gas/oil mix fer cryin out loud! I am still looking for my GOOD 20 year old can.

Don't even get me started...I hate hate hate the new cans. No vent so it pours slow, stupid safety nozzle so it pours even slower, while holding it is awkward, and it pulls apart/breaks easy.

I found a good old 1 gallon at an estate sale. Try those. Check corners/lofts of garages & barns, that's how I found mine.

I hate all these gas cans with the pull out type nozzles. You unscrew the cap pull out the nozzle start to our and it drips all over or the kind you take the cap off pull the nozzle out put the nozzle on and screw the cap on they leak drip all over the side panel down the gas tank. That's why I just take the top off and use a funnel.

I personally believe that gas can manufactures are in cahoots with the oil companies, I think they intentionally form the spouts so that gas can not be poured into a tank without spilling it all over.

Then there are the "glug glug" spouts... I'd like to pour gas down the guys pants who invented those pieces of crap.

And don't even get me started on five gallon cans with the flexible spout... I guess if you had three hands they would be alright.

On my 1 gallon can that I use for my string trimmer and leaf blower I kind of prefer the newer type of can I have because it shuts off as soon as I let go of the lever and it really doesn't take long to fill the tanks. Mine isn't the "pull the spout out" type though and I've defeated the multi-step valve opening safety mechanism, so it's actually pretty nice now.

The newer 5 gallon cans however I hate them! It takes about a week to empty the can. I'm not fond of holding a gas can for that long to empty 5 gallons of gas. Although not a perfect solution, I use this spout on my newer cans to make them like the older cans http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/stor...r-old-gas-cans

My 5 gallon can is so old that its no longer red but as long as it holds fuel I'm not letting it go.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
