So what's the secret to not spilling that expensive C-12 all over the place? I bought two 5 gal cans and I ended up spilling a bunch of it trying to pour it from the can to my premix container. Is there a screw on nozzle for these cans?

A wide funnel seems to do the trick for me.

I've got a wide funnel but the darn can glug, glugs when it's full (no vent) and it's really stinkin' hard not dribble gas down the side of the can. I know - be more careful.....

Somebody out there has to have come up with a better way.....

Brian are you pouring it with the spout at the bottom or the top? If you keep the spout at top it can back vent through the spout.

70marlin....that is what I use and it's the berries! No spillage and easy to use. I often use two fuel cans and set the full one on top of an empty to get the fuel up to tank level.
My sqeeze bulb pump cost me 4 bucks at wally world.

At the bottom. I should know better...... I think I'll spend the $4 and buy the pump at WW.
