Title: How do you carry your 2stroke when travelling?
Post by: Black-Pig on February 09, 2013, 09:07:26 PM: I am about to go travelling and would like to keep 2 stroke on roof rack. So looking for 5Ltr metal Jerry can. But cant find any here in Launceston... Thinking like these---> http://www.proquip.com.au/ProductPages/JerryCans/AFAC%20Metal%20Jerry%20Cans.html (http://www.proquip.com.au/ProductPages/JerryCans/AFAC%20Metal%20Jerry%20Cans.html) go to bottom of page to see the ones I mean. Then keep bottle of bar oil in car.

It's about 2 tanks on my smaller saw but I have never used it all just camping. They used to made by sigg but are now available through MSR, search MSR fuel bottle.

I think I got mine from Rays Outdoors, have seen them at other large camping outlets, normally on a bottom shelf.

Cheers
Leigh

Post by: Toy pradopetty on February 10, 2013, 02:45:41 PM: I too have the same bag as Jeeps. Great canvas bag. Separate section serves for fuel can and tools and oil and main section for saw. And they are really well priced( well that's my opinion anyway ????)

I have a husqvarna saw in this box and works a treat. Just strap it to the roof rack and its ready to go. You can also remove the bar and make the box smaller if needed.

Now I just need to remember who I loaned it to...

Oldmate can I have my saw back please...lol

Sent from Behind you...BOO

Post by: jeb1900 on February 10, 2013, 07:04:33 PM: I'm yet to take my chainsaw with me camping, although I plan on it soon. I plan on using a MSR bottle, and to fill the chainsaw with fuel before leaving. I think that'll likely be more than enough.
