Actually I'm more interested if anyone uses a utility jug instead of a gas can for their fuel. I have a 5-gallon gas can that has the stupid 'safety' nozzle(I know there's a way to circumvent that) that gulps when I pour gas since there's no vent hole and am thinking of going the jug route-like this:

I sure do, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made!

The vent on mine is in a bad spot, but I can just temporarily tilt it down and let it "glug" to get the air back into the jug.

This is what I have:

I use No-Spill® Gas Cans.

You can fill a weed wacker or blower from a 5 gallon if you wanted/had to. They are a little slow for filling large equipment but I like them just fine for everything g I have at home. Built way better than the typical big box can too.

Plus, Jill is just so convincing!

I use an old 1 gallon red plastic gas can with a rigid yellow spout with a vent hole on the opposite side of the can from the spout. I spill less gas with that one than any other I've ever had. I absolutely hate the newer "no spill' cans.

I use the No-Spill® cans as well. A 2.5 gallon and a 1.25 gallon. I'd like to replace a few other cheaper cans I have. I've never heard of a utility jug. I have a full 2.5 gallon can of old gas. How do I get rid of it?

I have an old 5 gallon plastic fuel can that I converted from the EPA crap to old school with EZ-Pour Hi Flo Spout. I also have one Eagle 1 gallon Gas Can that I use for all my Stihl equipment. Both of these seem to do the trick and make filling up my equipment a fairly painless process. If I were to ever upgrade in the future I would probably go with the SureCan's :thumbup:
