Interesting thought!
About 2 years ago I bought two Stihl white piggyback (Dolmar) gas cans. You might be able to see them in this image of a log jam we were clearing. They have been terrible! The last two weeks I have been working in the Sierras at about 6000 feet, mild weather in the upper 80s and low 90s. The cans balloon and crush more than any other piggyback cans I have used. The plastic is too thin and in addition the cap threads are rounded and don't seal well. One thing that has amazed me is that since the can is almost clear I can see how long I have to shake the can to completely mix the oil into the gasoline. I never shook a can long enough till then.
I store my bulk saw mix in 5 gallon Eagle cans from Bailey's but I would like to upgrade to cans with a roll bar build in to protect the handle. I haven't yet because they cost about $200.00 each! I feel these CARB approved self venting cans are the safest cans made.

No spill 1.25 x1, 2.5x2, 5x3. only thing better for storing any amount of time is metal GI can.

You did get the coupon, didn't you? When I got my no-spill can, I mailed in the coupon and four to six weeks later Jill comes over and walks on your back.
Damn!! Going back tomorrow to pick one up!!!!
$21 and change at my dealer.I bought a 2 1/2 gallon no-spill today. $30 at my dealer.

Ive used them all! metal to plastic and the no spill jill in 1 to 2.5 gal is by far the easiest and least messy of any

damn!!! shipping is dearer than the can its self
No-Spill all the way! have several they are great. one is 10 years old and still works great. Makes the other cans look like the junk they are. some farm and home stores are starting to carry them at better prices.
I would like to suggest we discuss this topic weekly so that someone posts "jill" videos at least once a day. Can we somehow combine "oil threads" or "MS 362 suck" threads with "no spill Jill" threads. The world would be a better place with more "Jill" !!!!

My Husqvarna/Echo and Stihl dealers both carry them.

Me too, does anyone know where I can find one?
My dealer does carry the no-spill ones, so that's what I'll probably go with.
That is a Husky can,Jakmax have um as well but there green.

I would say it would work fine. I used to put bar oil in one of those Tide laundry bottles, same basic design with the button and spout. They were thin plastic though, good idea, might give it a try.
I just checked on E-Bay and see that the No-Spill gas can prices are all over the place.
We just got back from vacation about a week ago, and while on the road, we stopped and I recall seeing the 2.5 gal. No-Spill gas can on sale for $15.95.
I had no idea that it was a really good price. I could have bought two for the price some charge on E-Bay for just one.
