Plastic is cheaper to make for such a complex shape, besides it could be single use, if you ever have needed it you will never forget your error.

I don't disagree, however, some of us have a regular requirement to refuel from a Jerry can, and these have a tendency to set off the fuel protection

You should try diesel in the jerry can... [emoji57]

Do you still want a fuel reset tool? PM me your address or phone No. I have one if you want it.

Absolutely want one. Have been chasing one out of a wreck, any wreck. Let me know what you want for it?

Correct me if I am wrong, isn't it the fuel nozel that triggers the shutoff, noting also your wink emoticon.

Yes its the fuel nozzle but not all jerry cans have the same nozzle as the standard diesel spec nozzle.

It also inhibits siphoning fuel.

Reading this made me go out and make a video for the other half as I work away, I hope she does not need it. :oops2:

It is my 1st ever youtube video so here goes I am sure someone will let me know if it does not work.

Out of interest, I just got a new one from Rimmer Bros UK for about AU$35 inc postage. Delivery 5 to 10 business days. I don't know what they cost locally but that seemed fair to me for not having to separate my bum from my chair.
