What would you guys use for a small gas tank for testing on a stand?
I don't even want to waste 3 gallons just to test and tune on the stand. 1 gallon would be best, but I never see those around.

Who says you have to fill it? Why can’t ya put 1 gallon in a 3 gallon can? Do you have other power equipment that could use the fuel? Weed whip, leaf blower? Anything?
Not trying to be a wise ass, but I don’t think I’ve ever had that problem? There’s always something that needs a splash of gas...

I tortured myself for years. I finally broke down and purchased this.
All my friends borrow it when we winterize! https://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...1534_200711534
You can purchase anywhere

[QUOTE=H2OPERF;3210673]oil tanks work great hose and all[/QUOTE
I have used oil tanks as fuel tanks on several projects. I like the "all weather" aspect. Put a loop in the vent hose and they stay dry even in the fla rain. Gaskets on caps,, fine screen on pickup. Perfect.
