[Shop-talk] old people pouring gas

[Benjamin Zwissler]

This still requires lifting the the fuel tank higher than the tank you're
filling, but I've used these for kerosene and gasoline.  They're cheap and
will move 5 gallons in a couple minutes.

Works great if you have the can in the back of a pickup truck.
