Pre mixed auger gas

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

      I have gone into Basswood from Fall Lake. From Fall the first portage takes you into Newton and that is the easier of the two. The portage from Newton into Pipestone is the one with a hill. It is definitely harder! You also have to be careful when you go down the hill because the boat will pick up speed and can get away from you. Yes, you can get to Jackfish without going into Canada and there are signs letting you know where Canada is.

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
