Diesel prices are through the roof (2.3€/L) but my backup fuel storage is ripe for rotation. Hopefully the prices have gone down a bit once I finish the last canister.

I always struggled with these 30L canisters and only strained my back and made a mess trying to pour it manually. This 14€ pump sure makes thing easier.

    I always use Aspen premixed gas, it’s about 4€/l and will always start, eben when a tool has been sitting for a year. Bonus: Healthier to breathe, important when running two strokes.

      Four dollars a liter is crazy expensive for us here. Like I’m not even sure how much that is, but gas is 4 a gallon here and that is $1 higher than it has been.

      I should just just stop being such a cheapskate though, it takes a long time to run through a gallon.

      Edit: I just checked, 4 liters to a gallon, a US gallon, apparently we don’t use the imperial gallon, or irish gallon, who knew? Who cared? Not our public schools. But holy shit, 16 Euros a gallon is a lot a lot of money. You are getting hosed. I am for changing from hydrocarbons but what are they doing with the money? Not that.

        I use 25 liters of the stuff per year, it’s really not breaking the bank. Just being sure that the engines always start and not sniffing anything that’s not pure gasoline is totally worth it for me 🤷
