Diesel prices are through the roof (2.3€/L) but my backup fuel storage is ripe for rotation. Hopefully the prices have gone down a bit once I finish the last canister.

I always struggled with these 30L canisters and only strained my back and made a mess trying to pour it manually. This 14€ pump sure makes thing easier.

    I use a battery pump too, but have a manual in my trunk for backup. Never had any luck pouring a gas can–at least not since the 90s. The new fancy spouts make things worse! Plus those large cans are a bit heavy and awkward, especially when you have a wrist or back injury.

      Since the mid-2000s I always keep a long funnel with a big cup with my cans, for exactly this reason - the new spouts suck.

        Same. I found a funnel that fits perfectly in a plastic cup keep a couple rags in, and the cup is tied to my small can.

        Got tired of spilling gas on my fingers.

        I might need to make myself a little pump, since I already have everything I need and a 3d printer…
