So I have a VERY dumb problem. The #$%^ EPA messed up gas gans tend to either not be able to get fuel where fuel needs to go, or they cause a massive spill because they won't stop flow because I have to manually hold the trigger open to get gas to go into things like generators, or fill the tanks on my coleman appliances.
I REALLY hate wasting gas, let alone the avoidable environmental impacts of foiling soil and air with gasoline.
I was thinking about some sort of manual transfer pump, a siphon of sorts that would allow me to shut off flow as the tank approaches full.
The one big issue I am finding with the sportsman generator is that as soon as you see fuel aproaching full, especially if you are filiing from a 5 gallon can, you end up spilling about a half a cup to a cup of gasoline by the time you can stop the fuel flow.
Any recommendations on better fuel cans and means of transitioning fuel to the devices?
My fueled devices are the truck obviously, a Sportsman 1000 inverter generator, Coleman dual fuel stove, and latnerns, and in winter months, Coleman liquid fuel catalytic heaters. And no I have not tested yet. I was going to last winter but I had barely enough gasoline to run the stove and had plenty of white gas for the heaters... (Feb 2021 Texas big freeze / power outage).
