Easing Refueling

[OrtisEvans]

As I age, I find it harder to lift a 5 gallon fuel can to refill my lawn tractors. Are there any clever solutions for getting the fuel from the can to the tank?

I use both gas and diesel, but probably not enough of either to justify bulk delivery to a larger on-site tank with a manual or electric pump.

Thanks

Buy another fuel jug you like and fill the 2 half full .

This recommendation just cost me $129.99 plus tax. I have several gas jugs taking up lots of floor space. Some of them are missing the cap. I can get rid of them all now. Except the 2 gal one, which I'll use to carry fuel out to the machine that just ran out. Now I just need to rig up something to hang it on the wall.

I made a video of what I use to transfer fuel.

Thanks! Both look usable, if a bit slow. Thanks for taking the time to provide answers.

A french cleat shelf of whatever length needed would be my choice . A bungee or tarp strap keeps it there .
