[Rhodes22-list] Gas Tanks

[Bill Effros]

Ron,

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you.  It wasn't easy to find.  I bought my tank from Defender -- item number 302310 -- Briggs and Stratton "Smart Fill" Automatic Fuel Jug $19.95.  This item doesn't seem to be in the online catalog.

I'm not sure, but I think California now requires fuel containers of this type.  I think I've seen other containers with the same features.  This one works well.

Is this a new product? Where can we find these miracle tanks?
