What kind of container can I safely mix gas and oil for my snowblower
Walter Cohen
I purchased and had delivered a new snow blower and we're due to have a
storm overnight tonight and into tomorrow. I went to Sears/Kmart looking
for a gas can (really plastic) and they did not have any. I had intentions
of getting a one gallon can, with gas, and mixing the requisite oil in it
for my snowblower.
Soooo.......now that I don't have a gas can I was going to use my hand
siphon device to get a half-gallon of gas out of my car and then do the
mixing. I gotta find a suitable container for this though. Suggestions?
Would plastic (i.e refrigerated liquid juice container) not work because it
might react with the gasoline?
All I need to do is mix a half-gallon of gas and an ounce or two of oil.
Thanks,
Walter

Do you have an old antifreeze bottle? How about a motor oil bottle and
mix a quart at a time?

"zxcvbob" wondered the following
Just go to the gas station, they usually have cans for sale, or maybe to
loan. What about a local hardware store or auto parts store? You don't
have to do all your shopping at Sears/Kmart!

Do what you would do if you went to the corner 7-11 and they did not
have any milk, go to a different store that does have milk.
Not all plastic is good for gasoline. Just keep it legal and safe and
use a real gas can.

There are a lot of places that sell gas plastic and metal gas cans.
I'm surprised Sears was out of them. In these days with What's it
called, Computer based last minute ordering, if 2 or 3 people buy one
instead of the expected 1 person per 3 days, they can be out, but in
two days they'll probably have them in again.
For auto-parts stores, they might be more careful to never run out.
And the odds are high they won't both run out at once.
Gas-stations charge twice as much on parts they install, and maybe
even more on gas-cans, which they keep mostly for customers (most of
them non-regulars) who have run out of gas and really need one. They
used to lend them free, but now they probably want a deposit twice
what a can costs.
In the 60's I found out that a Dairy Queen dish dissolved into a
puddle of plastic in gasoline. I was cleaning something. It took 10
minutes or more so even though many plastics hold gasoline, I don't
know which ones and they may suprise you.
I used to store gas for a camp stove in a Wisk bottle. It was red and
only a pint, small enough to take camping, and I wrote gasoline on it
in big black letters.
But you're not on the highway without any gas, and you are going to
have this snowblower for years. Get a real can.
I wouldn't try siphoning also because this is not an emergency, and
inhaled gas is very "poisonous". (I don't know if it literally a
poison, but it can kill you.) Go to the gas station and put the cas in
your new can, then fill your car's tank and pay for them both
together. The auto-stop won't work well with something as small as a
gas can, you need to control the trigger yourself. Do this just
before you go home, and prop the can so it doesn't spill.

Repost identifying your new snowblower. Gas+oil
mixes are required only for 2-stroke gas engines.
In this country snowblowers have not for many
years used 2-stroke engines -- only 4-stroke engines,
where oil is added directly to the sump, not mixed in fuel.

To answer your question a plastic juice container will work in a pinch.
However, do not store gasoline in the juice jug. Any gas you do not pour
into the snow blower, pour it back into your car. When the jug is empty cut
it open and let the gas dry out before you toss it.
Chemically the juice jug is the same material an a plastic gas can, but the
plastic is a whole lot thinner and as 1 gallon of gasoline vaporized is the
equivalent to about 14 sticks of TNT, this is not a risk you want to leave
sitting in your garage.

This MAY be true but probably is NOT. My brother-in-law works for a
company that produces plastic bottles and they customize almost every
one to the product. Use the wrong bottle and you can get some nasty
chemical reactions.
Get a real gas can. They are available almost anywhere that sells
motorized equipment, parts for such, or gasoline itself. I can think
of 6 places within walking distance of where I am right now. Oops,
make that 8. I forgot two gas stations.

Are you sure it is two cycle and requires a gas/oil mix?
Two cycle engines are heavy polluters and aren't as common as they used
to be especially in a device that isn't handheld such as a snowblower.

That's what I thought too. I've seen lots of 4 cycle snowthrowers and
small electric ones, but I haven't seen
a two cycle one. Given that this is supposed to be a new one, it
seems a little strange.
JoeSpareBedroom
No. No. No. No. And, No.
You will find a plastic or metal thing specifically made for storing
gasoline. You will stop thinking of alternatives right now. The thought
never occurred to you. Pretend it never happened.
Mark Sparge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You mentioned Sears. Just thought you'd like ot know that the Sears
snowblowers (at least on their website) are all 4-cycle engines, and
don't require a gas/oil mix. Don't mix the gas and oil unless you've
got an owners manual that specifically tells you to do it. A gas oil
mix will possibly foul the spark plug on a 4-cycle engine.

Once, my upstairs neighbor came to see me looking for help because she
had drunk some bleach.
One roommate put bleach in one of those translucent white plastic milk
bottles. A second roommate thought it was milk and put it in the
refrigerator. And this third roommate thought it was milk, may have
poured it in a glass, and drank some.
Related. Strangely, neither of my first-aid manuals listed it among
the poisons or anywhere, and the emergency phone number said she had
nothing listed, but she checked with a doctor and said it was not a
problem. That was 1980. Since then other people have told me it is
a problem, and I don't remember the recommended treatment. Maybe it
wasn't a problem in this case because she didn't drink much. But
there still should have been an entry in the manuals and the
operator's manual.
I don't know what they say now.

I got a can from Wal-Mart. It's a little larger than a gallon, so you
can put in a gallon of gas and have room to mix in oil.

I have a couple styrofoam semi-spheres with a screwhook in each that
to on over the outside water faucet to help keep them from freezing in
the winter.
On one, the foaam rubber came away from the styrofoam, and I went to
glue it back togethere with contact cement. It was on the kitchen
table while I was did something else waiting the required 10 minutes
or more for it to dry. And I noticed the glue was eating up the foam.
!!
I waited until the time had run, pushed the pieces together and it was
still even enough to work. The eating had stopped after a point.

It does not matter as long as the bottle is a type of polyethelyne or
polypropelyne. Look at the recycling symbol, if it is a 1,2,4, or 5 there
is no problem.

The materials may be identical, but the structure is not. Food containers
are flimsy compared to plastic fuel containers. Not appropriate.

Glass jugs work well for me. The fragile crystal ones are best.
thread...@none.com
It amazes me how helpless some people are when their favorite store is
out of an item. I'm sure there are other stores. A local hardware
store or auto parts store for example. Otherwise, there are millions
of containers that will work in a pinch. You could even fill the tank
on the snowblower with raw gas and add the oil, and shake the blower
like crazy. Of course you'd still need a gas can for the initial gas.
Look in your basement and garbage can..... This whole thread is so
damn stupid I am not going to comment further.

right size, right color, nice handle, and the plastic (back then, at least)
seemed to hold up to gasoline and oil okay. If you don't use that brand,
just stop by local laundromat, and raid the trash can. I'd test one
overnight with a cup of gas, sitting in a steel bucket, just to make sure
the plastic is still gas-proof.

Soda bottles are PET, which I think means either
Poly-Ethyl-Tolulene, or polyethylene terephthalate.
Except that, given the melting temperatures,
the lables are polystyrene, the gaskets are
LDPE, and the caps themselves are polypropelyne.
I'm thinking that, in the absence of an appropriate container,
the best place to mix gas is in the tank of the target device,
or failing that, in a large glass jar.
Better to go buy a proper can, though.

Bleach is dangerous more as a caustic agent than as a toxin.
The appropriate response for a swallow or so is to dilute with
water or milk. I dunno how anyone would drink enough to
need more treatment than that. It's not like it's a subtle
taste.
