I don't have any difficulty with a 5 gallon container, but my wife does.


Have you ever tried pouring five gallons of gas into an automobile?


No, I haven't and for the exact reason you give.

Using the plastic 5 gallon cans with or without the screwed up spouts,
it's not all that difficult to fill the Bobcat's tanks as they are at a
convenient height and provide easy access to the fill neck. AAMOF, of
late once I get the first gallon into the tank from a full can, I just
set it down and remove the spout altogether. With the installed valve
stem vent open, I just pour it into the tank without a funnel. The
angle and the wide mouth filler neck make it a snap.

As for him that said he pours out five gallons in 20 seconds...
Bull****! You couldn't empty a five gallon can on the ground in that
time let alone into a fuel tank.
