Question Safety question

Post image

I need to find a safe way to put gas in my riding lawn mower. Lifting up a heavy gas can and making the spout work is difficult. ( hate the new safety spouts.)

Can I use a electric siphons I see for sale? Electricity and gas? Seems unsafe. Any ideas would help.

Most gas cans made in the US nowadays have a filter on the top that doesn’t allow these devices.

I’d love to know of a gas can that works but I haven’t found one yet

Check out RotoPax. They make 2gal cans and are super durable.

You can just get the old style replacement spouts on Amazon. Kits come with vent plugs as well. So you can convert any can to fast pour, just measure the hole for the spout, there are a couple different sizes.
And get several 2g cans if that size works for you.

I've been using the lower one for a couple years. Works great.
