I've been using a shaker siphon the last two years. Simple, easy to store
and fool proof. Works well offshore during fuel transfers too. $8 on
Amazon.

I've been thinking about making a siphon tube for this purpose. The boat we
did our course on last year used this method and it seemed very civilized
and spill resistant, as long as you normally carry fuel jugs, as we do.
Fill them on the dock, place aboard, then siphon into the tank at your

Edd,
I've been using this, these things are awesome. There's a bronze ball
inside the end that goes into the can, shake it a few times and it
starts to flow, almost faster than you could pour it out.

A simple siphon pump can easily empty a fuel can into the diesel tank with no
av/dc power required. It may take a while depending on the tubing diameter.
A priming style bulb can be used to get it going
Edd,
I use a battery operated pump that fits in a 5 gallon can to fill my
Kubota tractor and my kerosene heater. We also used it on Glenn
Gambel's C 36 when he had a temporary tank installed while motoring
across Lake Michigan to get to Milwaukee for a Queens Cup Race. We
refueled in mid

A priming style bulb can be used to get it going—unless you like the taste of
diesel fuel and start it by ‘mouth’ or otherwise get the tubing
I remove used lube oil from my engine with an impeller pump connected to my
battery powered hand drill. Still a mess to clean up the hoses afterward.
But you gave me an idea And clean up of diesel fuel in the hoses should be
easier. I filter all fuel going into my tank from the jerry can and that
Listers,
A friend just sent me an ad for a battery-operated fuel pump for transferring
fuel from a jerry can to the Enterprise’s fuel tank.
Currently, I’m pouring from the jerry can directly into the tank, but there is
always some spillage and cleanup.
This looks like a nifty solution, but
