Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[jvls1942]

I think we should all go march and tip gas pumps over.
Whoever designed some of these gas spouts, never had to use one at ten below zero..
I modified one or two of them.. One I have is almost impossible to empty into an automobile or my pick up truck. did I say almost ?? strike that word.
I am sorting out the tomato plants and moving the planters to a different spot in the yard. when the sun decides to shine again, the planters will be in a more sunny spot.

Want to know what is nut is that for the price of a brand new gas can (with the lousy pouring system) you can buy a kit with a little plastic vent and new pour spout to make your brand new "safe" gas can work like the old "dangerous" ones. You have to drill the hole for the vent yourself.

Maybe we need to start a write in campaign to the government to get the law changed so we can have a gas can that works again.

We got so fed up that we bought a 10 gallon fueling system.

I absolutely HATE these new gas cans

Good Morning Cheeseheads. Nice steady rains that we have been having will really help my garden, too bad I don't have it all planted yet.

I have two that I don't mind too much for gassing up the tractor. I can get them all situated with the spout in the fill hole, then press the yellow button and hold it down until the can gets empty.. but the one with the spout that you have to somehow hook a spring loaded thingy onto the edge of the fill hole, and then push hard to let the gas flow. I take the spout off and use a funnel..

We now have this for fueling the tractors. I can't lift the cans high enough to refuel the big Kuboda tractor, lol. Too much money, if you ask me, but at least I can now refuel the tractors without spilling.

That is the diesel can for the tractor - diesel is yellow.
We have a red one also for the ATV's and such.
DH will not allow me to make to excuse of "it out of gas" for me not working I guess.
