i prolly have 10 no spills, they work fine, I agree they don't shut off consistently. When I got the tractor i bought one of these since my fill neck is on the hood. I rest it on the steering wheel and just wait.

I’ve used those and they don’t have many good options to rest the can while they’re pouring and the funnel is a hassle to have to clean every time.

I've quit "pouring" out of cans altogether.
I bought D cell powered pumps, they shut off when the fuel tank is full, so I can sit the can on a rag on the hood, turn on the pump and walk away.
I don't need to buy spl. fuel cans either, I use the empty 2-1/2 gallon jugs my Rotella oil comes in. At 2-1/2 gallon size, they are easy to lift up on the hood too.

I pump 2 gallons out of my diesel generator's 60 gallon tank. Then put back when I get it down about 20 gallons.

I gave up on lifting 5 gallon jugs. Too old, too heavy, unwieldly trying to hold up. Found a new 55 gallon drum and installed a standard home heating fuel oil fill and vent on it. Used a 12volt Amazon 'special' diesel pump kit that included the pump, hose, handle and input hose and strainer. It pumps at about 15gpm. Mounted it on a nice drum dolly that really rolls easily! I replaced the cord and large alligator clips with a 20' cable and a connector that mates with one I put on the fel cross support.
At my age I really enjoy the little things!

I only use about 200 gallons per year so I like the 5 gallon No-Spill cans. Yes a couple hundred gallon barrel with a electric pump would be nice but then you have other issues to deal with.

You must live in a **** state if they even look what you’re pouring fuel into.
