Re: Stus-List My outboards..

[Marek Dziedzic via CnC-List]

I used something similar to this: 
https://www.amazon.com/Kool-Products-Retail-Flexible-Replacement/dp/B07HRFF4LW/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=no+spill+spout=1576526251=8-5
 – it works fine, but the ribbed spout will break eventually (and you may not 
notice).

Lately I bought a similar design, but this time with a transparent (fuel line) 
spout that is not ribbed, just flexible.  Works even better. But I don’t use it 
on a boat; just for filling up the snowblower (a bit more solid platform you 
stand on, compared to a boat).

However, handling a 10 l (or even 5 l) tank on a boat is always an issue.

For filling really small engines (e.g. gas-powered yard engines), I use a very 
large syringe (something like this: 
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/motomaster-auto-fluids-syringe-0283046p.html?rrec=true#spc
 ). Mine is all plastic and much less sophisticated, so it was 1/5 the cost.

The brand is “No Spill”. Real mixed reviews on amazon.  Seems the company has 
been bought out, newer products aren’t lasting.  I was looking at just the 
spout, as I have plenty of small motor cans, but it seems the cap size is 
proprietary and won’t fit other brand cans.

Doug,

My beef is mainly with the ones where you have to push the spout to pour.

Not Coast Guard approved, but I used to do some interesting trips on a 19’ Cape 
Dory Typhoon, with an English Seagull outboard.  We used a couple one gal red 
plastic fuel cans, and then filled a couple bicycle water bottles with fuel, 
for daily use.  It was easier to squirt in a little fuel when needed, than 
fight even the one gal. fuel tanks which always made a mess.  Epic fun trips on 
the old boat. . . 

Pulled into Friday Harbor early, and Arnold marched into the office and 
announced he’d be filling his starboard tanks, slapping down his gold amex 
card.  The fuel boy came trotting down to the boat, just as I put the one gal. 
tanks on the dock, glared at me and said fill them yourself!

Re: Stus-List My outboards..

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

I have a couple old fashioned metal cans with the spring-loaded handles 
that I love. They do not let ANY gas smell escape, so they don't smell 
up my car.  I got the first one for free when someone left it in our 
"freecycle" spot, AKA next to the dumpster*, and I liked it so much I 
bought a second one. I think being well sealed from atmosphere and light 
allows the gas to keep longer too.


* I know, who the heck would take an old gas can home? I was going to 
pass but it looked brand new and was pristine inside and didn't even 
smell like gas. It literally had never been used.

Re: Stus-List My outboards..

[sv Rebecca Leah via CnC-List]

I'm not 100% sure but I think the outboard with an internal fuel tank are 
gravity fed. You would most likely need a fuel pump of some sort. With no 
battery the could be difficult to rig. As for the other option "spill proof" 
gas can. I tend to spill more fuel with them than to old style. I like using a 
1gal can, easy to handle, doesn't take much room. JMODoug. Doug Mountjoy Sv
