Please help me stop pouring diesel all over my pants
I'm poor after buying my F250 PSD; I'd love to have an auxiliary tank but don't want to spend $700 and lose 2' of my precious 6.5' bed space. So I have 2 5-gal diesel cans that allow me to spill 4 gal of diesel all over the side of the truck and my pants after I fuel from the can. I checked out 3 local stores and Amazon but only saw crap funnels. Can anyone recommend a good funnel with a flow rate greater than 0.3 gal/hr? I have those stupid CARB-compliant diesel cans (plastic, really) and the nozzles on those suck, too.
Sorry for the rant but I also had to deal with the post office today which reminded me, again, why I use FedEx and UPS. Don't even get me started with that organization...

I use these cans. Your patience will quickly return. The price tag is well worth my sanity. Allow gravity to do the work.

I have one of those new "earth friendly" cans that leak all over the place that I demoted to storing old fuel for the burn pile after washing my tractor in diesel fuel.

If I had to use Gerry cans or the like to get through my days regularly I believe I would just use a hose, siphon, or cheap pump of some kind. Just leave the fuel in the bed and whip out a hose.
Being in a harsh environment I'd also prob work out a gravity feed from a fuel can. Just get out, turn a valve, get back in.

this fixes the slow flow spout problem

I started doing one of the "prepper" mods to some of my cans.
Tire valve stems with the core removed and metal caps.
Most plastic cans have a thicker wall in the same location where the vents use to be.

This is what I use for fuel and diesel, with the additional hose it allows you to get it in the tank before you start pouring and they pour out quick as well.

I like the valve stem idea, I have some small cans for 2 stroke mix that will be getting that mod.......

There are several prepper videos doing this, don't recall though if they list brands.
I used a spade bit for a clean hole. And a coat hanger to feed the stem through.

I have a uni-bit (stepped drill bit) that'll make a nice clean hole as well. Have two valve stem brands here, will experiment first. And I like the coat hanger idea as well.
