Default Fueling options

Hi there...none of the marinas in town carry fuel anymore, so I need to bring fuel and load before putting in...does anyone have good experience using the cans and fuel line attachments? our local best 'go to' for boating, didn't have a fuel line that would work for me but does have the good Attwood fueling tanks...the other option is to force feed with the ol lawn mower gas can...it *kind of works ok* but not the best way to do it...and trailering to a gas station would be a huge nuisance...any feedback? thanks ('breaking in at boating'...was new in June!)

    Man that's a bind, having to carry that much fuel around!

    I don't know if you can get these over there but if I have to top my tank up from a jerry can I use a jiggle pipe.

    This is what I'm currently using to fill up my boat with,



    and




    Canadian Tire Flo N Go
    CLICK HERE FOR LINK


    If the link doesn't work, Canadian Tire's homepage | Canadian Tire

    When I switched it out to the tank shown above OR on the webpage link, it worked a lot better. Previous 25 L gas tanks have had issues with the Flo N go. I have always bought my gas from the road and walked it out to my boat.

    Its a shame what has happened to portable fuel tanks in the past few years. Thank you EPA!
    If I find real fuel tanks at a yard sale I pick them up. They actually fill your vehicle in a timely manor...
