I very recently purchased the "Flo-Fast" pump and containers. The containers come in several sizes (5, 7.5, 12 Gallons etc.).

I bought two of the 7.5 gallon diesel containers since I figured, once full, I could still lift them to move them around.
I got their "Professional" model Pump with a filter on the end of the dip tube. They also sell carts that can hold the tanks and make it easier to move them around. I didn't get that..... yet.......
The pump is a crank type and it can pump in either direction, meaning, it can pump fuel OUT of the container and into your tank, or suck it out of your tank and into the container.
The fuel fill opening on my B3000 is in the middle of the hood right in front of the cab windshield.
I used my old 5 gallon can with the spout a couple of times and realized I HAD to do something different (easier).
It wasn't cheap. I spent around $400 bucks for the two cans and the pump, but I figured it was still cheaper than back surgery !
I can leave the container on the ground and turn the crank to pump in the fuel, but I could not see into the tank to know when to stop pumping, so I used a light weight aluminum ladder to stand on to peer into the tank once in a while.
After my first use.... I was convinced it was a worthwhile investment.
