Anyone try the Holzfforma Fuel/oil container?

[Hay Dude]

Unfortunately, my much liked Husqvarna fuel & oil refueling container broke. The auto shut off feature for the fuel side stays stuck open.
I really like this container and have used the heck out of it.
Bought it for like $40 in 2019.
Now they are $150.
I see there are replacement nozzles for other types, but haven’t found for Husq.

Found this

I buy two stroke oil in six packs with each bottle just right for my 2 gal plastic gas can. When I run out, one unit of oil is poured in as I load the jug in the truck to fill ALL the gas cans at the station.

Can't get much easier.

I found one on Ebay... for $47. The Holzforma looks kinda weird and with how well the Husky works I'd be tempted to choke up on the credit card and buy the replacement spout.

I don't saw much (anymore) so I buy 40:1 & 50:1 premix by the gallon and decant onto smaller cans it comes in to take to the job. (Workers usually bring their own saws & mix. Fine with me. )

Those quart cans are also nice with other mixes for older ratios (30:1, others, re-labelled) and they don't need to be vented, so a mix remains fresh for years. I usually get two or more fills from a quart, but depending on the saw/tool that could be over two or more seasons. (12", 14", 2x18", 20" saws)

A gallon a day, off the pile, is all these old bones can take... I saw in intervals "by the tank".

I add Sta-Bil to each gas can when I bring 'em home. Might go into the bucket truck, Mini-BH, chipper, tiller, golf cart, generator, ZTR, or get mixed for a trimmer, saw, or PHD but I never know where or when I'll pour it.

Why so much oil? 1/2 as much as fuel? why carry oil that you will not use until you refill the fuel.

A solution to a problem no one has?

I tired of messing with 2-cycle gas and pull-start stuff, now I have Ryobi 40V electric string trimmer and chain saw.
By the time the 4AH battery runs down so am I, so we go to the house for R&R.
I do have a 6AH and 2AH battery in the garage in case I feel feisty and want to cut more.
