I second the use of the Super Siphon very easy to use and control. Only problem that I have encountered is they won't completely empty the can.

Once it's down to the last couple of cups, if I care, it's easy to use the funnel from there. When transfering between cans, I use the siphon pump that came with my kerosene heater, (I doubt any residue from one fuel in the pump hangs around in quantities big enough to matter to the other when it's generally being used on 5 gallon cans.) but its outlet hose isn't really long enough to run from a can on the trunk lid into the filler. Might try to find the right size fuel line to extend it one of these days, and buy another one for the kero so the gas one can live in the trunk.

Also, http://ezpourspout.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Siphon from on top of the trunk still seems easier, though.

I really didn't witness anything weird in my life, until this afternoon.

I'm a passenger in a Suburban driving in the far right lane of a six lane undivided street (KIrby in Houston) when out of no where a car in the far right lane of the other side of the street coming the other direction, decided to make a sudden U turn in front of us. The car was about 100 feet ahead.

It was right out of a Russian dash cam video.

The driver near as I can tell was nuts, because in front of us was a ton of cars most stopped for a red light ahead. The car t boned into those cars that were stopped at the light, it didn't stop there as the driver had the gas nailed. She pushed those cars out of the way and slammed head on into a building after almost hitting several sidewalk pedestrians in the process.

What was interesting was the trail of cars coming behind her all stopped, as I assume she had hit them on the way to her date with the big brick wall of the building.

The red haired lady exited the car seeming no worse for the wear. Could have been unintended acceleration.

Remember all non electric cars have a neutral gear. Works really well when the brakes just won't slow down that out of control engine.

Also works great when someone mistakes the skinny pedal on the right for the wide one in the middle. Just sayin'...

This is why I like manual transmissions; if all else fails, mash any two pedals and it will eventually stop.
