New Style (Cheaper) $64.49

I got roped by price and bought a new style for Debbe. Leaks. I love the design with the handles, I like the larger capacity, but dammit, it leaks. So I am returning it to Wally World. Just ordered an old style.

And you didnt hear it from me, but if you order site to store nobody seems to notice it has a "Not for sale in CA" sticker. :lol: They just send it out and and you pick it up :)
You better watch what you post... just remember, there are GEEKS like the webmaster... AKA Ken who can hack and find out WHO you are and the Walmart police will find you!!

Aw, crap. That must be why I haven't received my shipment of 2 of the old ones from WalMart. :cry:

Hey California government with your silly enviro laws that want to force us to leak MORE gas into the environment: this ones's for you - :finger:

And another, for good measure: :finger:

Anyone know if the eBay guy will ship into CA?

Thanks.


Can you post any information about the BLM plans for Moab in another thread?? I've heard rumblings that they would love to shut many parts of Moab down.

I ordered mine on Sunday and so far he hasn't said anything. Since he's a private individual, I don't think he really cares.

And they are still significantly cheaper than Wally World, despite what Mr. Wally World says. I bought 2, delivered to my door for $112. The same two thru WW would have been $150 plus tax, AND I would have to drive to Roseville to get them - that's about $10 in diesel.

So :finger: Keith!!

Kendo,
Please report on what you think of them when they come. This sounds pretty good. Maybe the guy in Logan bought out the old company before they sold out or something.
Anyway, let us know.
Thanks

Good news, Keith: I dug through the E-mail messages my SPAM filter had caught and found a shipment confirmation from Walmart (I ordered them on 12/28 ). The Kolpins are on their way to my house so I guess my order made it through before they stopped shipping to CA. UPS has them in Sparks and the tracking says this:

ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS CAUSED THIS DELAY / THE MOVEMENT OF THE PACKAGE WILL RESUME AS SOON AS THE WEATHER CONDITIONS ALLOW

Yup, the weather sure was adverse up here! :lol:

I just checked the Dennis Kirk and Rocky Mountain web sites, both appear to have the new canister only. BUT, not only are they not allowed in California, but also not in Maryland and DELAWARE, where I live.
But maybe the Walmart way would work, but I am not sure now. By the way Geico will not insure ATVs in my state either.
I suck.

I just discovered the auction for these fuel packs and bought one. Since they are not sold here this is the only way I can get one.
The auction can be found at:

I got my shipment of 2 old ones from Walmart and confirmed that they really did ship the old ones. Whew, I was worried they were going to substitute the new ones on me.

GG, stupid ? Got Flat gas pack. Do I store nozzle inside with gas or just put cap on and keep nozzle handy. Rather ask stupid ? than pretend to know and do something stupid.
