gas bottle

[Namot]

anybody know what type of recycled bottle I can use for gasoline?
I know not all plastic will work, some deteriorate from petroleum products.
example: I use a dishwashing bottle for chain oil, works fine, but that's not gas.
looking for a small refill( 1 tankful) bottle to take with me in the woods.

We use old bar and chain oil jugs. No adverse reactions so far

Well, I went to the big box stores and bought a quart of the canned premix, used it up and saved the can.

My OCD went as far as to paint it red, and I borrowed some "flammable liquid" DOT decals at that place that sends me a pay check and put one on it. Now I have a metal can for fuel. I bought a quart of bar-oil for the same reason to have a smallish bottle. I carry them on the ATV w/ my 192t for clearing the trails. If I go in the woods specifically to cut, I pack the full monty in the truck, because I am hauling wood out anyway.

I would think any bottles that transport petroleum products should work. quarts of oil etc... not the chemist so cannot be sure.

Have used 2 litre soda bottles and 1 litre bottles are made of the same thing. Just for fun, have some stored in a plastic whiskey bottle. Nothing like pouring some hooch in the tank.

i have a 1L water bottle on my work tuck for the saw it's worked for a year so far

I use gatorade bottles. I have one for bar oil and one for gas that I've used for 2 years now with no problems

all good suggestions.
I could have added: recently was using an old rubbermaid container for parts washing with diesel fuel, came out one morning and the top of workbench was soaked, it had slowly made a leak.
thus my thoughts are that it very slowly softens the plastic and I don't want to put goo in my brand new Husky before I realize what's going on.
like the idea of any oil container. also thinking of using a glass whisky bottle.
just so it doesn't get mixed up with the others. :msp_biggrin:

Be careful using glass, in thein the summer when it gets hot gas expands and could cause the bottle to explode

point taken.

I have thought of using one of the pint size aluminum water bottles like you can buy in the large chain discount stores. One's I've looked at usually have either a belt clip or carrying loop built on. I'm juzt not real sure how fuel resistant the tops would be.

MSR makes red aluminum bottles for white gas for camping stoves and lanterns. They have a ring top sealed screw on cap. I am sure any camping or outdoor store would have them. They are not cheap. I have the 1 quart pre-mix cans. I like them because they are metal and already labeled for fuel. They will pop the bottom if you leave too much head space on a hot day. I bought a special plastic pitcher for 30 bucks so that I can re-fill them with out spilling.

Of course the metal will rust eventually.

Buy a quart can of the canned premix. Use it up, you now have a perect fuel holding small bottle.

Gas refilling

I am thinking about this thread and remember that my grandmother had a red rubber bag that was suspended from some type of elevated surface.In a wood cutters situation this could be a tree limb.Now the funny thing about this bag is that it had a rubber hose with a shutoff clamp. I remember her saying something about 2 quarts. Now this would make a near perfect refueling station.Simply set the saw on the ground, remove the cap on the saw and release the clamp on the red rubber bag and your saw is filled without spilling a drop.Nothing like these high tech gizmos to make things easier, Ken

thinking of using a glass whiskey bottle...:msp_biggrin:

Yep..that what I use - THICK glass Jose Cuervo Tequila bottles from the recycle center...FREE..!!

Don't use them in the field - just for storage...pour into red plastic fuel jugs to take into the field..

Tighten lid and NO moisture can get in and there's nothing in the glass to dissolve into the fuel..!!

Well if we want to talk hi-tech and not SPILLing a drop we need to go visit no spill Jill. I love her cans.

used quart oil jug:bang:

 

[rdtreewalker]

Yes, those are some nice cans she has

Yes, they are!!!
But for carrying a tank's worth of pre-mix, I like the pint metal bottles that Seafoam comes in. Since I use seafoam occasionally, they are free, and they stand up to gas just fine.

Just pick up a case of Coors Light that comes in the 16oz aluminum bottles with the wide mouth screw tops.

That is slick. I don't drink, but having beer can gas cans, now that might be reason enough to buy some...and then bake some beer bread with the stuff.
