Hi All
I have used the same Polarn pump for the last four years. No battery needed a
nd allows precise control directly from the jerry can that I place on a stoo
l. Can't remember where I purchased from. This link has a good picture.

Your hand is left free to guide the filler tube into the filter.
Easy and safe.
Regards
Bob

ith this and now do everything the hard way. The exercise probably does me g

drop of water in the fuel, and my gascolator filter is always very clean. A
ll the same, I am uneasy about not using a filter funnel, and would be inter
ested to know how other XS owners manage this.
