The Justrite cans are great. Look around for used ones at garage sales, auctions, etc.
Gas Container Recommendation?

Yeah, thought so
but they are quite handy, the overfill protection in gas side + you can carry files and screnches on the can too (just stick em to between the oil and gas side)...
Have the repaint the partner can if youre going to use it

A couple more pictures ,,
I am intriqued by those cans. Looks like chips could settle in around the neck, is that any issue?
I googled a bit and so far haven't found them for sale here. Maybe some husky dealers might carry them, but I don't remember seeing them. Someone said Gemplers, but I looked at their site and did not find them their either. They mentioned $73, which would sting a bit.

Here you can get those cans from any store that sells chainsaws/tools , maybe 20e a piece or so... The dirt aint problem with those necks since when youre transporting the combican you can turn them otherway solving the dirt problems... Besides, how often will you cut next to combican...

You do get chip and stuff in there but it seems to stay there until you blow it out so you dont get it in the gastank of the saw.
it is not a problem to me anyway, I like them so much that I can live it

Chips are not a problem, like the other guy said, the can is at my fuel site, not my cutting site.
I also close the spouts (you unscrew them and invert them into the can) for transport. A judicious bit of wiping now and then helps with any build up.
They are not pull spouts, the gas filler is a push spout that is the most robust I have come across. The oil spout is just a vented spout, never gluggs, got to remember to put the cap back on when filling your gas!!!
All the components are attached to the can, no chance of losing a cap or spout, that I really like.
The ONLY problem I have had was one no spill spout got a bit sticky and wouldn't close properly, purchased a spare and no problems. Those unfamiliar with it tend to want to bend the can away from the saw when they think the gas is almost full, and bend the closing thingy. You leave it totally inverted and it stops like the nozzle at the gas station, lift it straight up and out, a couple of drips maybe and voila, no spillage!

Watch the video provided on that site...it was hilarious! "Magically" the guy makes it over the logs while carrying the Toolcanbag!
Seriously, though...good site, neat idea. Now if we could only find the *&^% combicans they're wrapping those toolbags around!

Yea, if someone finds them in the US let me know. I see I can order them from the UK, but shipping would take the fun out of it.

Yeah the video is a laugh, but i like the idea !
If I'm not totally wrong, in the video he did "left" some stuff before the toolbag walk like a felling bar, at least the first time i watched it

My guess is that the PRC is behind the fact that we can't find them in the US!!

Oh...sorry...that's what we call California...the People's Republic of California. It has to do with their socialist system of state government...much like that of China, but without all the freedoms the Chinese enjoy.
I understand they're even getting an embassy in Washington DC...
