You should see me pouring 5 gallons of diesel into my tractor w the overreaching EPA safety nozzle.

The process takes 10 mins of me holding 20lbs worth of diesel Shoulder high.

Shoulders and neck muscles - Feel the BURN!

All the while the whistling sound of tiny air bubbles being drawn back into the yellow jug.

I hate it.
Nothing like it. Drip a little diesel into the arm pit while holding it up. Then its lubed for the rest of the day

I add these to my plastic cans and they flow a lot better.

you can also use a valve stem without the pin to help the flow

I did that with all my cans first. They eventually ended up swollen and broke off. That must have been before I got off the corn gas.

My cans all came with these, I must be showing my age cause all of my cans are not safety cans they are all older than that. I have no need to "upgrade" to a safety can my old school ones work fine.

Yup.. I'm not crazy about the funnels. The next one I'll buy will have the metal spout
I like the cans sold at the Honda dealer the best, square body, 3/4 inch id flex hose and fills/empties quickly. No glug, glug.

I'm guessing he's referring to these. I used them when I raced mx. I added a pvc ball valve because someone always lost the cap for the hose and I'd end up with it tipped over in the bed of my truck.
