Super siphon is the answer

In Response To: Throw away the fancy spout and use a funnel . . . ()

I use one of these super siphons to transfer gas and diesel now instead of pouring from the jugs--best gizmo I've bought in years! No spill. No fuss. Just find some regular caps for your jugs and get rid of the crappy spouts or keep them around for emergencies. http://www.amazon.com/Super-Siphon-Hose-TWO-16-95/dp/B000ZORJ1E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345676563&sr=8-1&keywords=super+siphon

Anyone seen or tried the Lehr propane outboards?
- I have felt your pain
  - Hi Larry
    - Will do
  - Gas gumming
    - Case of bad gas
- I saw Ben Ellison (Panbo.com) towing an outboard powered dinghy, with his Torqueedo this weekend.
  - OK dumb question... modern gas is not about to change for the better...
    - The older 2 cycles seem to run OK
      - so you have a source for Seagull engines?
        
        I keep finding fresh water, mid-80's OMC engines for my dinghy
    - Hopefully not. And with luck, topside Honda generators are effected as well.
  - My Torqeedo is on its second season - so far so good...
    - The cost will surely come down if it becomes more popular.
      - I doubt Torqeedo will come down until they have competition
        
        Can't be far away. They're nearly giving away cordless tools just for the battery market today.
        
        Yes but the tool market is huge by comparison
        
        You're probably right.
        
        Yes but the batteries are just proprietary packaging
    - Todd - a question
      - Interesting idea Max
        
        To take it a step further
        
        If you want to keep it simple and cheaper
