Recently there was a discussion about the dangers of pouring gas into a carburetor to start an engine. I made these bottles a few years ago to make that task safer, If the engine were to backfire there is no open container to catch of fire. I always use 40-1 so I can use it on both 2 and 4 stroke engines, and I believe the extra lubrication makes a 4 stroke start better. I can dribble a small amount and keep an engine running until the fuel pump primes or the bad gas has passed through the carburetor. I have a couple of weed eaters that need a little shot at the beginning of the season and then they are good for the rest of the summer.
