Sort of returning to the OP

Siphons don't work up hill ....... would be good to know of a pump that will transfer fuel to my boat when it is on trailer ... I use 20L containers ... but they are heavy to hold above your shoulders .. and the filler spouts air lock as they are emptying so flow rate is slow.
Can't use a funnel as filler is on vertical surface, tried the flexy spout funnels ... no good as you can't hold that upright at same time as holding 20 L can.

My jerry cans have an air release valve in them so they empty really quickly and smoothly. I had a quick look for a link but could not find one. Will post if I find it. Highly recommend them.

I have 2 20 L cans .... neither have an air release valve - so both air lock and make emptying pretty slow.
If you find teh details please sens them through.

Here you go this is what I have.
Not sure if this is the only place you can get them. But the air valve makes a massive difference.

for Argo - why the forum won't allow a jpg on a PM is a bit weird .

hijacking this post a little but any recommendations on an oil change pump? at the lifeboat we used to have a little pond pump made up to run on 12v but I can't remember if it had a tube down the dipstick or fastened over the dip hole. Ebay has a few cheapie's so probably not worth making anything and I really don't want a manual pump 'pump' to unless they are the best thing?

Plenty on sale on eBay
