That is the filler hose I described in my earlier post. Although the more elaborate methods for pouring diesel into the deck fill are all good ideas, if you just put your finger over the end of the hose, guide the hose into the deck fill, then turn the container on its side while the hose goes in further, it’s a simple method that works fine – and all I need is the container itself. I only use this method at the dock and would not do so underway.

You only need to try it once to be convinced. This is especially true filling up offshore. As for water eliminating funnels, like a Mr Funnel, don’t use them at the boat, use them at the pump. That way you get the best of both. I also recommend tossing out standard filler caps, new and old, that come with diesel cans. These filler caps are not only a PITA to use, they are weak and will starting leaking sooner rather than later. I use EZ-Pour solid base caps. A fuel jug will break or split a seam before it leaks from these caps. At about $4 a cap, there is no reason not purchase a few.
