Have you guys ever used these small containers that are already mixed? Ethanol free ready to go. A little more expensive but it elimates mixing it yourself and lugging around a gas can.

No way i'd put that garbage in my auger. I'll stick with amsoil and mix my own.

I have been using S.E.F. fuel from vp racing for a few years now and my auger is always running great. No its probably not any better than non oxy and mixing it myself but its real convenient to grab a couple cans and keep them in a 5 gallon bucket with tip ups.

This will be my second year using the VP fuel. I buy the stuff for 4 strokes that has no oil in it and add Amsoil Sabre right to the can. Easy to mix and keep in the can. I only go through a couple of cans a season so the extra cost is not that big of a deal.

Its an excellent option if you only have one or two engines that use mixed gas. The shelf life of them is around 5 years un-opened. I don't see how lugging around this can is any different than lugging around a gas can.

I just like its completely sealed, could throw it in a compartment in my four wheeler and not worry about it spilling. Or your habds snelling like gas or having to strap 1 more thing in my sled or on my fourwheeler

I ran trufuel all last year. Probably went through 8 bottles.

Expensive yes, but great gas.

99% of the reason i used them was for EASY TRANSPORT.

Bottles don't leak and there is not dumb government pouring spout smile

I saved all the bottles and i'll probably refill them with gas this year to save $$.

This is what I tried last year instead of a gallon gas can. I would fill auger and then fill a used 1qt oil bottle (little short of full for expansion) and take that with. Just have to make sure cap is tight. It never leaked yet. Just an Idea. Any thoughts or concerns welcome.

Posted

Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never had an issue with gas cans leaking and spilling anywhere. I always make sure they are loaded carefully though, and I don't have to transport gas inside a cab of a vehicle ever so that isn't an issue. This premixed fuel is probably a convenient, useful option for some, just not me. Plus, the way my solo sucks gas down it could get spendy in a hurry. grin

Where the benefit is that there is no ethanol in this can. Here in Michigan you don't know at the pump what the ethanol content is, this is a great product for final storage any 2 cycle engine.

Posted

Never yet had a need to carry a gas can. Like others I'll stick to mixing my own. Besides it's not that big of a hassle to mix 1 gallon for the season. Total cost around 5 bucks

Posted

Keep an old Seafoam can and reuse that for an extra point of whatever mixed fuel you use. I run 80 to 1 non-oxygenated gas with Amsoil Sabre. Mix a gallon at a time.

Posted

I also have never had a gallon gas can leak, but mine is old style with a rear vent, and regular spout. Its funny, these old cans don't leak a drop when you have the caps on, but the new "eco friendly" style leak all over, and leak when you try to fill something. That said, Trufuel is top quality fuel. As I already said, it last a lot longer than pump gas. If you don't have a gallon gas can, then this would be perfect.

      Ok the ice was 15-16 inches and less than 2 inches of snow. It’s was -15 this morning and the weekend looks to be cold again. The fish were there but not biting with change in weather.

      I guess the vikings are a lot like fishing.  Very entertaining but frustrating at times. I've probably been cheering the vikings for 50 plus years  that i can remember and once again it's all about (there's always next year).

      I remember Jeno's boxed pizza years ago.  Mom made it every Saturday night while dad and I watched All Star Wrestling.

      On the South Shore... Ice fishing is going great on the south shore of Lake of the Woods, with resorts and outfitters reporting thickening ice conditions with two feet of ice in some areas.  Many ice roads are now open to 1 ton vehicles pulling a wheelhouse.  Every road has different weight limits, check with each resort for details before traveling up and out on the ice.      Some good fishing this past week.  As a rule, fishing activity is happening in 28 - 32 feet of water.  Resorts do just about everything they can to get customers on fish and this past week, some resorts made some long runs, resetting fish houses in new areas miles off shore.  Most are reporting good fishing as a rule.     It is common to sort through some small walleyes and saugers to get your keepers on LOW.  Naturally, some big fish are showing up, especially in deeper water.  In addition, this has been a very good year for jumbo perch with good numbers being caught.  Other fish in the mix are eelpout (burbot), pike, tullibees and an occasional sturgeon.      Anglers are using the one-two punch of jigging in one hole and deadsticking the second hole. In the jigging hole, a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head or tail in gold / pink, gold / glow red, glow white / pink, or Wonder Bread have worked well.     Especially in the deeper water, some anglers are finding success on rippin raps or using jigging spoons with a rattle as well.     On the deadstick, a small jig with a live minnow hooked behind the dorsal fin set 6 inches - a foot off of the bottom is working well.  One day the jigging line catches most of the fish, the other day a deadstick is hot.     Electronics are very helpful to see suspended fish, know when fish are coming through and adjust your presentation to the mood of each fish.  Most resorts, outfitters and bait shops in the area rent electronics by the day.   On the Rainy River... The Rainy River is still producing some nice walleyes and saugers, primarily in the mornings and evenings.  A jig and minnow working well.   Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing continues to be good for those targeting them.  An oversized hole, or three holes drilled together, with nightcrawlers or frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig fished on the bottom are what anglers are using.     Ice conditions on the river can vary significantly due to the current. To stay safe and maximize success, always work with a local resort or outfitter familiar with river conditions.    Up at the NW Angle... Ice fishing continues to be very good up at the Northwest Angle. Resorts have fish houses set up on various pieces of structure as well as adjacent to structure in deep mud.  A consistent mix of walleyes, saugers, jumbo perch, pike and tullibees in the mix.     Shallow structure is best right away in the morning and as the sun starts going down in the late afternoon.  Mud is more of a slower bite but all day.   The ice road from Jerry's on the mainland (Angle Inlet, MN) to island resorts (as of this past week) was open to 1 ton vehicles.  Guests drive right to their island resort after picking up a road pass at Jerry's or Point North Services.  Venmo is also available at all resorts.  Work through your resort for specifics.   Ice fishing is in full swing across Lake of the Woods and there are openings for lodging, fish house rentals, sleeper fish house rentals and meal plans across the area.  Ice fishing is extended on LOW with fish houses allowed on the ice through March 31st, walleye / sauger season open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes.

      From your fingertips to God's ears...  Finally got some snow!   Several inches of new snow fell before and during the weekend.  Sunday eve when we left, the high winds had already begun to create some drifting on the lake.  It was fun riding for sure.  Lots of folks on the lake this past weekend too.  We fueled up the sleds at Shamrock and saw as many people fishing in that area as I've ever seen in the Winter on Lake Vermilion.     Our weekend results were decent.  Jeff and I and a buddy caught probably 50 walleyes between the three of us, mostly fishing a jig/plastics with our three biggest being 24", 25", and 25.5".  We also got one large pike of unknown length.  During the midday on Sunday, we targeted whitefish and Jeff managed one big one.  We released all of our fish, except for three small walleyes that our buddy wanted to bring home for a meal.  Definitely a fun weekend on Lake V!

      The Vikings are the Vikings so it's nothing new.  It is kind of sad that Darnold's off season stock is now going to drop like a rock after these last two games. It kind of shows he's not a big game guy.  🤔

      I'm blaming leech... his food selection has been lacking game days recently  🤣
