Shaker siphons to transfer fuel

[Rummie]

I'm sure many of you guys do this already but I'll put it out here for those who haven't. If you have jerry cans or rotopax up on your rack you can leave them in place and transfer your fuel with a siphon. I've had to tap into my jerry cans a few times and found it a bit of a pain to move them around and hold them while emptying the gas into the tank.

I picked up a few inexpensive shaker siphons off Amazon and tested one out today. It was a far easier way to move gas from the can to the tank.

Jigglers are a great way to move fuel in a "controlled" fashion but they can be a little sloppy if you aren't following protocol; remove the source hose first and drain the line into the target tank otherwise it can be very zoolander.

Have used one for several years on my boats, works great.

I'd be concerned with safety using that contraption. I'll stick with Super Siphon.

If you buy a quality jiggler (where the hose doesn't collapse easily) and then add a shutoff valve to the hose, they are awesome. You can transfer to multiple containers without having to restart the siphon motion or use your finger to plug.

We have several in different hose lengths and jiggler end diameters (some of our old cars have weird tank inlets with tight bends).
