Best way to fill up CK35 diesel tank?

[curly]

I have a dk55 and those dreaded yellow plastic 5 gal cans that don't vent. I quickly stick the knozzel in the tank and set the can on the front tire and walk away. When I get back there's still a little in the can and I have to hold it at an akward angle to drain it out.

I just put together a fuel tank and, for the first time, filled my CK20 without spilling a drop. I used a 15 gallon race fuel drum that I had and put a tire valve in the large bung and welded a 1/2" pipe into the small one. I tapped the pipe for an air line fitting and used a ball valve to turn it off. I used a piece of air line between the ball valve and tank. I pump a few pounds of air into the tank and it forces the fuel out the line. No pump needed but it isn't very quick because of the 1/4" ID air hose.

This is what I use and work great in all temperatures. Takes a couple of minutes to fill the tank on the tractor.

This works very well, until I get one of the crank siphons, I just remove the cap, insert the gateraid bottle, stand up on the drivers platform and pour with the bottle resting on the hood bracket.

I am also considering some sort of funnel that I could strap to the bracket and have an easier time at it.
