    Smh you cheap bastard youre gonna fuck up your truck for $6 of gas, I use Honda motors small displacement motors to run machines in my busimess and gas that sits for more than a month will fuck up the system, yes ik the computer can compensate but that is too much risk

    Not all at once. Maybe 1 gallon at a time in a carburetor vehicle. Tank full of good gas.
    I’ve done it to my work truck. No issues.

    No problems. Truck runs smoothly. I will burn this tank off in couple day. IF it sat in truck for awhile it may damage but mixed with that much fresh and burned off quick it be fine.

    So thats your reason why you don't use metal cans, is that they're too heavy? The Justrite 5 gallon metal safety can weighs 7 pounds, vs. a range of 2 - 3 pounds for the average polypropylene. When full that's 37 pounds metal, 32 pounds plastic. 5 pounds (or 15%) difference between the two. Whats ironic is that it is almost negated by the fact that a metal can will pour significantly faster than plastic (even the old fashioned vented kind) so you arent holding it midair as long.

    Guessing your not filling trimmers on an open trailer 3 trimmer rack In 90degree heat several times a day. Plus push mowers and
    5g tanks on larger equip. Will stick w/plastic. Thanks.


    I do use the 2.5g justrites without their crappy spout but 5g cans all plastic

    No I didn't pull that out my ass, but it also isn't worth arguing about.

    Enjoy your can.

    Because this is TW.
    We don’t do anything around here unless there is the potential to “screw its up”
    No job is worth doing, that can’t be done wrong.
    Give us a job that’s easy, we’ll make it complicated.


    It takes a lot to be a member here.
    And OP fits right in here, Welcome to the family Mike

    Just giving you are hard time Mike.
    I mean after all, I just spent over an hour yesterday pounding a 21mm socket on my lug nuts to “resize” them. Buying new ones would have been to easy, Right?

    Yes, sir.
    So serious that he already dumped it in the tank.
    He’s sending it down the road now, we’re awaiting the outcome.
