I need some help.

[Sillyman]

Anyone know how to refuel a lawnmower without getting gas all over themselves? I keep turning myself into a saftey violation every time I have to do any lawn maintenence.

 

[Tap-Out]

I have a 100% guarentee fool proof plan to get that pesky lawnmower refuled without getting a single drop on yourslef...





Get someone (other than myself) to do it for you. Simple. Mower is full and happy and you are now non flamable.

You always need help, Sillyman.

It's called a FUNNEL.

Now why didn't I think of that. So how do I dupe someone into doing it for me? I'm not bribing anyone. That would be unethical and I don't have any money.

Fun-nel? Where do I get this fun'nel?

Hey Stinky Cheese Man - I mean Sillyman - (great avatar) we manage to get gas in our mower without a funnel - what's up? (you could also get a better gas can - maybe it won't glug everywhere on you) LOL

Possibly that's it. It might just be my technique. I'm the sort of person who gets toothpaste in their hair.

That's a good place to keep it. Nice and handy.

Plus it makes my scalp tingle.

I have never gotten gas on me so let me try and help, no guarentees.

First is your mower a yardman, briggs and straton, techumsey, or what make.

Second, What do you keep your fuel in Javex bottle, spare tire, regular small plastic gas can, medium plastic gas can or large gas can?

Third if its a proper gas can does it have a flex neck or a stiff neck, does it have one, two, three or four removable caps?


Forth, is this thread just a joke, I haven't figured out and a way to rack up your post count

 

[Sillyman]

Right.

It's a Powerpro push mower. Probably an off brand.

The gas is in I would say large gas can, proper red plastic, and has a flexible nozzle with two removable caps.

Yes and no. I like to offer up my own idiocy for others amusement, but if anyone can seriously tell me what I'm doing wrong, it would be very helpful.

Get a gas can with one of those long nozzle tube thinagamajigs on it. So that you can bend the tube into the gas opening before tilting to pour. Less hassle than useing a funnel imo.

ok, you have made it simple, basically what the guy above me said witha n addition possible two.


it you have a flexinozzle your doing great.

Step one set the nozzle up in a pouring method {self explanitory}

***step two losten but do not remove the small cap, its a breather cap with it loosened it allows air into the gas can preventing the glugluglug while pouring.***

Step three place the flexinozzle into the gas ttank holding gently with one hand.

step four with the other hand slowly bring the gas jug up and begin to pour, watch the gas level in the mower andslowly tip the gas jug back when about 3/4 filled and it should work spill free


yeah its true i am a geek

***most important part

Get a goat.

 

[Bigdog]

Sillyman, you need to move to California. Then you would be required to shell out twenty bucks for a new spillproof gas can.

 

[Guest]

Get a goat.

Then put your goat WAAAYY out back, where nobody can get 'em.

 

[Sillyman]

On the upside, I found an engine block.

Thanks for the tips Todd. I'll have to try it out the next time I mow.
