I use this method to siphon gas from 5 gallon cans into my tractors. I
use a clear 1/2" tygon tube for the fuel transfer and a piece of 1/4"
line to pressurize. I can drain the full can into the tank. I set the
gas can up on top of the tractor fuel tank.

I have not been following this thread so, someone may have suggested
this but,
I just get a hose, long enough to keep the Jerry can sitting above the
fuel fill with the hose into the fill, up, into, and down to the
bottom of the can. Then, you make seal with your hand, around the
hose at the jerry can opening, and blow into the can (with your
mouth) this will give enough pressure to start the fluid flowing up
and through the hose down into the tank. Then a vacuum takes it from
there! easy peasy! the jerry can needs to be full so you don't need
to pressurize too much of an air pocket. The longer you keep the hose
submerged in the fluid the more fluid is transferred to the fuel
tank. I can pretty much empty the jerry can this way. It clean and
easy. Just have a rag to wipe down the hose as it comes out the can
and you can be drip free!
