Ah, sounded like it was actual fuel, not the oil. I'll check it out!

It's fairly expensive. When I was working on my mower to rule out bad gas I bought a can of unmixed. It was $6 for 32 ounces, which comes out to $24/gallon... I'll keep running pump gas in most of my stuff, but the chainsaw just might see that premix since I won't use it much.

Side note, anyone that hates the stupid filler nozzles on the new cans, check this out. It is a kit to turn your new can into the old style. I've got two that will be here on Friday. No more gas on my hands from trying to fuel equipment, or messes on the ground/equipment!

Yep, that True Fuel will be for my chainsaws.
I just ordered a nozzle for a plastic diesel can, will get get more for my 5 gallon gas cans if it works out, before they're outlawed. Wished I had those before. These CARB mandated nozzles needed to stay in California, what a **** poor design.
Thanks.

You're welcome! Figured that would be really helpful. Lol. Some people said they failed after a few years, but I'd rather replace them every few years than deal with the CARB nozzles anymore. The style I have is destined to cover your hands with fuel. You have to push this "lever" type thing on the nozzle, then push against a protrusion to dispense fuel. It pours out from everywhere and soaks your hand. What a garbage design that we have been getting forced to deal with. It's the exact one on in this pic that I currently have.

Ya, those are trash, always spill gas with those. I had one break and spilled gas all over my yard tractor. Luckily it was on pavement instead of what little grass I've got.

TRUCK UPDATE! I’ve decided on going with two JL Audio 10W0V3’s in a box from MTI Acoustics (Mobile Toys). I ordered the subs today because Sonic Electronix had some open box/damaged packaging for $88 each (normally $120-$130 each) so I scooped them up. Next month I will likely proceed and get the box made.

Lol. I was going to go with Q Power, but on Amazon everyone is complaining about leaks. Fox is nice, but they’re more of a “You get it when you get it.” because they have a reputation lately of not responding to emails or answering the phone. The one from MTI will be vinyl wrapped and should match the leather pretty well. On their website they’re about $300 though. I know 3-4 guys that have gotten theirs done there for their show vehicles, so I know they’re good quality.
