Tip of the day.

$114 per can! They better be good. I keep 5 cans at home, but dont have that kind of budget.

You can keep buying the plastic ones that everyone says are junk, or get something that works, doesn't leak and lasts.

Another idea for bar oil. Has it's own no drip spout. Comes in large or small sizes. Easy to see the fill level.

One of my favorite garage investments during the last 20 years is the "Dust Deputy". This simple dust collector tied in to my ol' craftsman shop vac has saved me tons of money and countless time. The unit is mounted under the work bench, and out of the way and I have enough vacuum hose to reach every square inch of the garage.

The Dust Deputy funnels all the Dust, dirt or sawdust in to a 5 gallon bucket and leaves my shop-vac and filter empty and clean. No more replacing expensive filters.

There are less expensive clones out there now too.

I made a couple of thien pre-seperators for when using a dust vac. One sits on a 55gal barrel in the wood shop, another on a more portable 20gallon. The dust bag on the vac sometimes lasts for several years, while the 55gal barrel could be filled several times.

I just bought a 30 gallon steel fuel caddy with a hand crank pump and hose for diesel fueling.

True for many products. Was not being critical of your decision. I followed your link to Amazon but was not expecting that price is all. Just had momentary sticker shock. One thing I cannot tell from the pictures is how easy it is to fill at the station? The fill hole looks fairly small ?

Eagle diesel can

Been using two of these for my tractors.

I also put the cans on Harbor Freight Dolly to keep moisture from the concrete from potentially rusting the can.

But to make sure no contaminants or water get into my tractor I pour the diesel through this fuel filter funnel.

We have some of these cans for over 15 years and they live a hard, hard life.

Both lids are spring loaded but the nozzle used at the fuel stations fit in there just fine. Some these class II cans we used are 15yo and lived hard lives. I used them at work but like them so well, I got some for home use. Eagle sells parts for them as well.

Do you bring in the back of your truck to the fuel station to fill it? Then unload it at home....

Gas can hack, for years now ventless nozzles have been a curse to gas can users. My fix is finally on Amazon. Been doing this for years... don't tell.
See the manual can vent and old fashion nozzle combo here > View attachment 768927

I put the vents on my cans also. Then I bought a pump to transfer fuel, slower but no spills.

No spills is good. Stupid Kubota has the fill neck in the hood like a lawn mower but worse because the hood is about 5ft off the ground. I got a big transfer pump from Northern Equipment. Pumps a 5gal can in the blink of an eye... looking to set up a 55gal drum for fuel now, but I may wait until prices calm the F down.
