(I have decided the spouts are discardable parts, and just glug gas through a large funnel into the gasoline burning device at hand. How's that for fume free fueling, CARB/EPA?) [/quote]

Crap. I thought I invented that. smile I use the dual water filter funnel...., but I have a brand new-in-wrapper chamois (shammy for you some of you) in the boat box just in case.

And nothing is cheaper, simpler, or more reliable and easier to use for fuel transfer - drum to tank - than a half inch ID hose. Just make sure it's about 8 feet long so you can get a good ground loop in it....gives you time to remove mouth, place thumb, get end in tank without loosing suction or getting that burning mouth sensation. I hate blowing gas out my nose.... smile

Can I sue Exxon next time?

The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
