For any of you out there who fill up your bikes at home from 5 gal gas canisters....


The Super Siphon is the way to go!  No need to hold and tilt that heavy 5 gal can, while trying to get the spout into the tank, without spilling.

With the super siphon, you just place your gas can on a table or workbench...couple shakes...and there you go...3 gallons per minute.

But...A great addition is to mount a ball valve on the dispensing end.  This way, you can watch the gas filling up, right up to the filler neck, and quickly stop the flow, without chance of the excess gas in the line causing an overflow.  You can do this whole process and not spill a drop!

I get non-ethanol gas for my bikes...but not available near my house....so I fill up three 5 gal canisters, and fill up from home.  On long rides I might have to fill up with ethanol gas occasionally, but I prefer using non-ethanol whenever possible.

I tried one a few years ago...meh, I have never had a problem getting a siphon going, the trick is to use a clear hose so you can see the fuel before it enters your mouth
