This is what I use, I of course got them free. I have 3.
If you can find some of these, I have a couple of brand new metal spouts designed for this. I rock the plastic one, I got two just incase one ever breaks.

Tractor supply sells kits for the new tanks/nozzles. I can't remember what they are called but it is the old style nozzle and comes with a valve. 10 bucks and you just drill a half inch hole for the valve. I bought several of them because I am sure it is a matter of time until someone catches on and bans them. Auto parts stores sell racing fuel tanks but they are expensive. I check yard sales and sometimes my older customers just want the tanks gotten rid of. I mow lawns so I regularly go through 15-20 gallons a week and can't stand the new tanks.

Icthus, After having lived in AK for 20+ yrs my self, most people will never understand the fact that carrying extra fuel/gas is a must. I get it....
I like the valve stem idea, how are you getting it pulled into the hole that is drilled into the jug, I saw that a clothes hanger is mentioned..
Thx

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...

Hand pump ? Yugster - Easy Flow Hand Fuel Pump - Easy Fills and No More Spills
I saw a few others no idea how they work or how cheap you want to go.
I would look into even an electric style pump that you could wire to your battery.

All,
I wound up getting one of the siphon pumps with the brass end and 6' of clear tubing--works like a champ and puts 5gal in the tank in just about 1.5 min.
Nothing spilled. Thanks for all the suggestions!
