...fuel container. It's strapped to the wall in the back of the molester van. Got a track day and a race weekend coming up to try it out. I'll report back with a review.
That's about the cost of a tank of fuel in a Duramax these days.

I'd appreciate your review of it after you've used it a few times. I've looked at those but haven't rationalized the value since I typically just fill my two 5 gallon fuel jugs then dump them in the 11 gallon fuel tank of the mower. If tranporting and ease of use warrant, I'll have to look more. Thanks.

Your lawnmower has an 11 gallon tank? My car only has a 15gal.
Actually two 5.5 gallon tanks. I get about 3 mowings between fill-ups which works out to about 2 gallons per hour.
Needless to say, the grass is getting a bit long between cuts these days
He refuses to buy a fuel-injected lawnmower, so it uses a bit more.
Unless it is a sophisticated FI system, then it would likely get less fuel economy because most are tuned rich to account for the missing inputs that come naturally with most carburetors

They're ruining the whole lawn-care industry. I remember when a lawnmower took skill to operate. The rider had to work the throttle between turtle and rabbit, and use that little primer bulb to start it. Now these things start right up first try... there isn't even a damned cord.
I remember when it was the riders right wrist that determined the speed of mow, not some computer.

my mower still has the primer button and the turtle and rabbit is down on the engine. the mower before that I don't think had the primer button, took like 15 pulls but it was like 20 years old when it finally kicked the bucket.

I got to try out the Duramax on Wednesday night... Works as intended, completely avoiding heavy lifting and spills. Only gripes are that it flows quite slowly, and as a gravity-feed the gas stays in the line so you have to hang the nozzle up high or it'll leak a bit.
Nice gadget though. The hose is pretty light so we'll see how it holds up over time.

From what I've been told, the reel mower is actually better for the grass than a rotary.
I've actually got a gas powered, walk behind Honda (what else?) mulching mower. The reel mower (heavy steel version) is what I had to cut grass with as a kid. Why? Because I had to learn the value of hard work.

I had one of those until very recently.... I say had because the sidewalk in the front of our house is magic. If you put stuff out on the sidewalk, it disappears several minutes later. Firefly decided to leave the mower on the sidewalk one day not too long ago and it magically disappeared.
