Here's the can I just ordered. Stihl doesn't offer it in the US. EPA regs, I'm sure. I'm tired of dicking with these cheapo plastic cans that don't work.
Got a link to purchase? I need one.

I got it off of eBay. I'm guessing Stihl can't sell them here due to EPA regs. I checked a dealer and he said they're unavailable here. I was searching online for a good jug to use for bar oil and found about this can. Husky makes one to but I think they're not available here either. Briggs makes a 2 part can and they're $30. I have 2 Briggs diesel cans and they suck. We use trico oil safe jugs at work but they're $40-50 each so I decided on the Stihl can. It's coming from England and its $85 with shipping. I can give you my thoughts on it once I get it.
Here's the eBay link.

Here's the Stihl UK link. Looks like it's available in clear or orange.

Not entirely true, but damn good, until they break. I am going to go take some pics for you guys, cause I luv ya all so much.Try the no spill brand of gas cans, they are the only new gas cans that work.
This cannot be stressed enough! Even when a bar is "smoked", as long as the bearings are good it can usually be saved by de-grooving it with a flat file. That is as long as you catch it in time of course.Stihl and Husqvarana.
The Stihl Engineers like to borrow my Bro's Dyno for testing (in VA) and after that experience and some conversations, we went all Stihl in terms of small handheld equipment.
Flip your bars!!! It keeps your wear and tear even. When your saw will not cut right, even with a new chain, you have smoked your bar.
