I am well stocked with older cans. I've picked up a few 1 and 2 gallon cans from customers and bought a whole bunch of regular 5 gallon cans right before they were outlawed.

exactly...these new cans are trash...they are so complicated anymore, they barely let any gas through and eventually break, or they get broken because u get so pissed off at them...if they do work correctly, they will eventually build up enough pressure inside to roll over and spill gas...not very effective if you ask me

i agree, i think the bigger tanks that you can store under a truck or on the trailer somewhere are the way to go

Besides ebay, is there another good location to find the old style cans?
