Thanks, I picked one up today (2-1/2 gallon). I'll be using it for filling the tank on my riding lawnmower. I also picked up the flexible spout extension in the event I need to add gas to my truck.

The filler neck on my truck is cap-less.

There are 2 hinged flaps inside the neck. I suspected the short spout on the No-Spill can wouldn't be long enough to open the 2nd flap. My suspicion was confirmed when I got the can home.

I'd sure like to see a video or two of you changing a tire with your new tire changer.

 

Did your truck not come with the neck insert for using a can? They included one in the glove box of my new GMC. I used it for the first time last week to add some SeaFoam

 

Yes, my truck came with one.

Unfortunately, when it is fully inserted to open the 2nd flap, the funnel end doesn't stick out far enough to be used effectively with the short No-Spill spout.

If the can was completely full, I might be able to dispense 1/2 gallon. In order to dispense the entire 2-1/2 gallons, the spout needs to be vertical.

 

What am I looking at ??

 

Half of a funnel and some shoes that kind of looks like they're on the wrong feet?

 

That's the filler neck on my truck with the supplied funnel fully inserted. I was holding the phone parallel to the floor with the camera lens directly above the funnel.

Here's a different angle. I placed a 1-1/2 inch O.D. washer inside the funnel to illustrate the small opening. The washer is sitting about 1/8 inch below the funnel lip.

 

You may wany to move the gas can question to the Off Topic section. There are a lot of car guys over there.

Good luck

 

Today was the day. Ginger, our 22 Road Glide has new shoes front and rear.

I wish I could say it was super easy but I struggled a little on both the front and the rear.

These tires are just so stiff! I place the new Commandar III's in the sun for a couple of hours which helped. The Dunlops were cool.

I really didn't know how little thread was on the rear tire until I removed it. I'm due for inspection and it would not have passed.

Balancing these was therapeutic. I played with them a while until they were perfect.

This was my first time ever removing a rear wheel and setting the belt tension. All went smooth and doing it myself allowed me to throughly clean the wheels and other parts of the bike.

I worked from the floor using my scissor Jack's and it went very easy.

I removed the tail pipes because we wanted to install the stock SE pipes back on the bike. I'll have a smokin deal on a pair of Supertrapps. Great pipes, just a little louder than we want.

Thanks for all the comments, help and suggestions.

I'll take her for a test ride tomorrow and report on the tires.

 

I'm impressed ... and envious too
