What do you think about this? I went to a friend's house to do some weed eating for him. I thought I had enough fuel in my machine to do the job. Half way through, I ran out of gas. Knowing my friend has a lawn mower, I asked if he had any gas. He lead me out to his driveway, and his 1962 Chevy. When he opened the trunk, I expected to see a gas can. Instead, he took out a tube, and by mouth, extracted enough gas from the Belair's tank to fill the tank of my Ryobi four cycle weed eater.

When I asked him where his gas can was, he told me he didn't have one. He has owned this car for over thirty years, and all of that time, it has been his gas can.

Seriously, I can think of better ways to fill my equipment. Anyone else do this?
