The little things you may need one day that may not be available at any price, do you have them, can you get them?

neat little siphon hoses wingnut, used them before myself..

I have lit myself on fire twice with gasoline and it is not one of those things I want to do. So be very careful with gas especially in hot weather when it vaporizes and the vapor will pool on the floor.

I have seen one gas pump and van torch when they got some static discharge at the gas station. There was a disabled person in the car and luckily a big guy just ran over and scooped her up and saved her.

for small scale set your plastic gas cans on the ground before filling or transferring. I store my gas in 55 gallon metal drums and fill them with plastic cans then pump the gas out as needed.

In my 'trucking daze' I kept a "Magic Siphon" in one sidebox, it was a siphon tube with a fitting at one end, and all you had to do was jerk the thing a few times for the flow to get started.

Nowadays, I think they're just referred to as "shaker hose". I've had them and do like them. What I do recall is that they don't last more than a few years. Don't remember exactly but one of the components always seemed to fail after a few years.
