    What style gas container do you use for your auger?

    I am looking for a new one ,it only needs to hold 2 gallons.

    The one I like I cant seem to find anymore ,it has a retractable flexible spout, you twist off the cap and pull the spout out and push back in when done and has a vent on top opposite end of the spout.Made by Blitz

    Any suggestions?

    I have one of the little 1 gallon red plastic, that you see at the gas stations for those who run out on the freeway. I mix my chainsaw/weed trimmer gas in the summer/fall and switch it to the auger for the winter

    Please do not purchase anything but a no-spill gas can. Since the gov. makes all gas cans auto venting, most are way below grade. I sell gas cans all day including BLITZ cans and all I hear is compliants. Do yourself a favor and purchase a no-spill. I’ve Been running them for 2 years and there the cats-meow. Let me know if you need one, I will give deals for fellow IDO’s.

    the best can I have found is a Seafoam can to take with on the ice, it’s just the rite amount to fill the auger tank, I just write what mix is in it with a black sharpie marker and toss 2 in the bottom of the sled or bucket. I have never had one leak in the 10 years I have been doing that. unlike the plastic 1 gallon can that split and filled my house with gas the seafoam can is tough as nails even when crushed it never leaked..

    I use a one liter spun aluminum fuel bottle from my back packing days. Looks like the water bottles all over the place now days. Between the fuel in the auger and that bottle you can drill a bunch of holes.

    I tried one of them last year and the gas ate the ABS plastic that the top was made from
