Fuel Caddy/Motocross 5gal Jugs??
For anyone who keeps their boat at the lake, what do you like to use to fill up as quickly as possible? The regular 5 gal containers are so slow!!! There are some fuel caddies out there but are pricey. Anyone tried tried multiple motocross 5gal jugs with "quick fill" hose on them?

KurtL - I looked at a caddy, but too expensive. Also, when loaded with fuel it would seem to be awkward and heavy to slug from the car down to the pier. So, we use the inexpensive 5 gallon containers. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen anyone on our pier use a caddy. - Deerfield

I just use a bunch of 2-3 gallon cans, we usually bring 4 or 5 every couple of days so it never gets below a half tank, and occasionally I'll buy on the water (usually on the weekends when we've been out all day and don't feel like getting off the water; $5.50 a gallon hurts though!)
I tried a 5 gallon and it was too big to manuver, I ended up with gas in my face, it was terrible. I don't notice the amount of time it takes - if I'm on the boat I'm smiling.2013 Outback V

A couple years ago in Sandpoint a guy next to me had a siphon that attached to the top of the 5gal jugs and had a few feet of hose. He left the jug on the dock and filled with the hose. No spills & easy to use. I have been watching at retailers but have not seen one since.

The guy I bought my outback from used a 5 gal jug and siphon.. there is a inexpensive siphon hose at auto zone/ wal mart that easily primes. he would put the gas on the sundeck and transfer into the tank.
I think the gas cans for atv/mc;s would work better than the normal 5 Gal gas cans..Brad

I use 6 gallon cans but I use a fuel pump to transfer the gas as I've never liked holding the cans up.
