some of you CA people may know the deal here, but to others it ll be a mystery... STUPIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDD CA. carb regulations to make our gas / petrol cans safer... well they are retarded, totally worthless... we can thank the powers that be, ie (gov't) again here... they leak and basically make fuelling ANYTHING (weedeater, blowers etc) a chore... probabally designed with good intention (child saftey ?) nothing but a total loss...

this is the POS plastic junk...



so i couldn t deal with it any longer... modified it and make it functional and leak proof... after some dremel and hacksaw work she turned out like this... ready for a piece of tubing... hopefully ribbed, flexy stuff...



workshop is comin together... new compressor today (15 gal / 1.5 hp / 150psi) and a sweet 4 stroke 32cc weedeater... sears is the shizzzzzzzzee...

if you need a decent compressor with 2 extras goodies (3/8" ratchett and 20 pc kit) included then i suggest you check this out... 200 bones and very sweet..



CA carb: 0 - Australia: 1

In the bathroom, fighting a battle
Why not just order a real gas can from out of state? I had the same issue with jerry cans, I ordered some Swiss military surpluss ones that were marked as "display only" but they are fully funtional and legal here in CA. They work great for weed eaters, lawn mowers, and Land Rovers (they use a sh1tload of gas).

Also you need more tools ya n00b.

tool time biatch... :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_Time

the compressor is crook... more than enough power for anything i ll tackle... workshop is the place to be... just needs a 'fridge...



this is what remains of the 20 pc kit (on the right) and the schweeeet 3/8" impact wrench... normally they go for about 50 bones... but it was in the compressor box... win win



phase 1 nears completion...

My current gas can has a nozzle like that, it's like you press it into the gas tube filler and it spews the gas out. It's not really a safty device or anything but does make it interesting for people who borrow it.

It doesn't spill as much as the cheapy ones do, that was the only reason I got it. Otherwise to me a gas can is a gas can.

granted... but the lid / pouring mech. is freakin lame, but why not just put on the old flexy ribbed clearish tubing ????

save money and make it easier for the consumer (to light fires) :redhot:

Yeah, OK. But how many Australians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

:think: My gas cans just have nozzles. Is this some weird NorCal hippy law or have I just not bought a gas can in a long time?

You keep up with these enviormentally unfriendly shenanigans, they might just kick you out of the state.:)

The law is there to protect you.
