Same here, except I use gravity instead of a pump.

Thanks. It's version 3.0. V1.0 was a tank on a stand out in the open. V2.0 was same tank with a small shed over it. Winter storm took out a big tree, and damaged that shed.....so 3.0 was this.

I’ve had a valve stem on a diesel can for four years without issue.

I’ve had the stems in mine for quite a bit longer with no issues either. I installed them high on the back of the handles so they stay dry.

This thread brings back memories of filling our farm tractors back in the 50's. We had a dozen or so 5-gallon cans that originally were filled with lube oil. We would fill them in the back of the '47 dodge pickup with diesel from the overhead bulk storage tank and take them to the field in the morning or after lunch.
It was about all I could do as a 90 pound (on a good day) kid to get them up to the top of the tractor, put the funnel in and then pour. A windy day presented another challenge as the wind would blow the fuel away before it had a chance to get in the funnel. Had to try to hold one hand to break the wind and the other to pour. Yes, the "good ol' days". :)

Getting back to the original proposition, if you're going that route, you can buy Made in USA, vs. the original suggestion (Made in China)

See The Original Safety Siphon Shaker Siphon Hose - Gas Siphon 4 Foot Hose (4 Foot - 1/2 Valve) on Amazon

Gasoline, and down the path to the right....no key required. :D

Every company's tractor design engineers should have to refuel each of their tractor models using a 5 gallon can, with no ladders, hoses, pumps, or platforms. Even engineers can learn by experience. :)
