you can buy good electric petrol pumps cheap now. make yourself a trolley with a drum on it then no more holding cans up.

Couldn't agree more BrendAn. The Forum had this debate, what 2-3 years ago? Some good solutions/designs were offered then. Back then a suitable 12V,  vane pump and hoses could be had for about $80 (never had mine on a trolly/cart, so dont know the cost for this innovation).

 

The thought of those good old boys, teetering on a stand, while pouring even a 10 L fuel drum, into their high wing, makes my stomach turn.

 

PS: Still using my 10 year old Bunnings Aerospace plastic "jerry" cans. Cheapest I could find at the time - don't seem to be degrading in any way (fingers crossed)
