Right, perfect combination IF it fits...that's the only draw back, they don't make them to fit every can. Well they didn't at one time, they may now. You can fill the small blower and weed wacker tank without spilling a drop. You have the ability to govern the stream or flow and shuts off quick.... Surprised you guys don't have one yet.

Well, I guess I assumed those were all like the new POS's that my BIL has a bunch of. Trying to fill jet skis with those was awful. I swear more gas went on the ground or in the water than in the damn tanks.

Only a government solution to a (non-existent) problem could fail so dramatically.

Holy ****.... when I bought Frankie, it came with seats from a Mitsubishi Eclipse or 3000 GT. On Ebay, the damn things are going for more than I paid for the car.

EDIT... do these look familiar to anyone? Trying to identify for sure what they are.



EDIT 2: OK.... I started to actually think after I posted this. My Buddy had a 91 Talon TSI with seats that looked very similar to these... and well, they ARE these.

I seem to remember reading something on the cans about them being EPA compliant.

It would have caused problems down the road if left as is.
So I used "hand tight" and a very very small amount of wrench tightening on new filter today.
IMO it would have been just fine until the next change. Oil Filters are not one thing you want to come off going down the road

It is an oldie, White. The first LCD monitor I ever bought. I still have the box for it, and who knows? The receipt may still be in it. It's a tank, and just fine for garage duty. And yes, 19" with built in speakers.

Eh, maybe a cup or two or whatever the filter holds plus a bit from the hoses.
