WES999 said:I got a couple of 500ML plastic bottles form Ebay. I mix gas in them, I use a plastic kitchen measuring spoon to measure oil. I only mix what I need. Each one holds about a tankful or so. I don't cut that much so it works for me.

Adios Pantalones said:Those aluminum bottles are designed after fuel bottles. I wouldn't use one meant for water for fuel (2 stroke gas) for a couple of reasons- most important, the cap may degrade with exposure to gas.
There was a bowhunter on a site I used to visit that was camping and someone picked up a bottle that was improperly marked- they thought it was water but it was camping fuel. Guy took a swig and spit it out. The tent heater caught fire. I think one guy died and this guy had severe burns. I wouldn't want anything around that could be confused for water.
I just commented on AS about this same thing. I have two bottles and was unsuccessful at making the first reusable, but after checking it has a defect in the lid, the second bottle has worked well for refilling, best part of buying these bottles is that I like to consider that the bottle is 5 bucks and you get free mix in the first bottle! Lol.Village Idiot said:How about buying a quart of the pre-mixed gas? They come in a metal container that is definitely safe for gas and have a screw cap. I have never used any, and would hope that they can be easily refilled. Though the manufacturers may have creatively engineered the spout to make it difficult.
Heck get two and use one for bar oil. Making sure to properly label them to avoid a mixup.
Has anyone used the pre-mix gas that can comment on the refill ability of the containers?
New gas cans are a pain in the neck with their stupid EPA spouts and whatnot. If you have a small metal gas can from back in the day, then hang onto it.bluedogz said:Maybe I'm the guy in left field, here... but why not use a gas can? You know, like a can... for gas.
+1 on the gear oil bottle.

Now's the part where I confess that these are a PITA to refill. I didn't cut the weirdness out of the pour spout on mine, but you may want to if it's the same as mine (and it probably is because mine is TruFuel, too)steeltowninwv said:just bought 2 bottles of trufuel...gonna use it then use those bottles to carry my fuel in
Have you seen it yet? There's something of a bullseye pattern with a cross hair in the middle of it. Nothing a knife couldn't take care of, but if you do that, then yeah, a funnel would be perfect.steeltowninwv said:dano...can u not just use a small funnel?
