Fueling skid steer for light residential guy

   / Fueling skid steer for light residential guy #11  
I use my bobcat around my house for various projects. It's a T595. I use it a few times a year.

How do light residential guys keep there machines fueled? Filling the 5 gas containers seems like a lot of work.
For that level of use, most just use 5 gallon jugs. It's inexpensive, easy to do and certainly less mess and hassle than trying to insert and remove a diesel covered hose into and out of the fuel tank on a pickup.

I tried that pump and hose solution. Kept the whole pump and hoses in a 5 gallon pail. It worked fine the first time, but what a fuel soaked mess to keep it all clean.
For what I do, several 5 gallon fuel containers are a better solution.

I did buy a number of containers with poor caps & spouts until I discovered the heavy poly "no-spill" type.
They are expensive, but often on sale. The spout caps are sold separately for about $12. Get a spare.
