We have those. If you’re impatient, they do take a fairly long time to drain. So my original partner helpfully put vents in all of them. Now the current partners all complain about the dripping fuel. Those leak like a sieve without a slight vacuum in the can as it empties.
I have one of those, too. Not impressed compared to the old straight-tube style. I still spill more fuel out of this style than I ever do on an old straight spout.
I've used a few of those. They work great... until they don't, when they break or the rubber seal fails... at which point they spill more gas than would every have been lost through a simple old style non "environment friendly" spout.
"For water use only", of course. I've bought a few of those... for my "water" jugs.
I bought a house that had plastic shower heads in each shower. The hot water caused the plastic to soften, so even if you turned the head a quarter-turn before you began - an absolute necessity - it would leak before your shower was over.
Because I don't like doing a job halfway. Double or nothing.
Sounds good but as pointed out, it's not that negligible.
But do you drive on parkways and park on driveways? (Old George Carlin line.)
Mounted to a plastic radiator that’s going to leak after 7 years of use
Yeah we have a couple of those in the closet.*
One could think of a refrigerator as a closet that happens to be very cold...
I was pretty excited about this until I saw what others said... Sigh.
I have one of those too, and it sucks even more than the mandate ones.
I thought that was Gallagher? ("And we call them apartments when they're all stuck together!")
They are crazy. These cans are awesome.
You can trade radiator leaks for oil leaks, lol.
That's when you know to add oil . . . when it quits dripping.
I have one of these also. I generally like it as well. My only complaint is they can blow up like a balloon or suck in and create a stress spot on the plastic. Generally I have been happy with it.
I have a Polaris 4 wheeler ATV that has 120 on the speedometer...
I used to have a Lamborghini. The speedo went to 300KPH. It was impressive. The car - not so much.
AKA 43,560 square feet. A 1/4 mile square is 40 acres, which is a quarter of a quarter of a 1 mile square "section", which is 640 acres. This is why I can't remember my kid's birthdays.
I have an Arctic Cat 650 v-twin that I've had to 70, and it was still accelerating. I wanted to know how fast it would actually go, but it was just too terrifying. I honestly don't understand why they built the thing. I bought it thinking it was fast enough to ride between fields, but like you said, even 30mph is scary. Then when you figure out how thin and flimsy the tires are...jeesh. I have to admit though, the wheelies are fun.
I worked for a number of years (at 2 different companies) with a Brit. We got along well and gave each other grief over cultural differences. One day he was making disparaging comments about measuring something in inches and feet and not the much better metric system. I responded "Funny you're not competent with the English system of measurement..." He laughed loud and long over that one...
UTVs with short wheelbases and narrow tracks tend to get pretty squirrely when you're moving at a decent pace! Easy to oversteer/overcorrect and end up heading toward the scenery.
The artist says put the single wheel up front. The engineer says put the two back wheels up front. The economist reminds you that a trike has all of the disadvantages of a motorcycle and none of the advantages.
And Honda took a HUGE, bailiff inflicted, financial whack in the pee-pee over the artist's version.
Well, they didn't learn their lesson with the 250R/Big Red models, so they decided to try it out on Goldwings.
Some lessons don't get learned the first time around.
I like that folks have options, but if the day comes that I can no longer handle a two wheeler, I’ll get a Miata and call it done!
