Also if using Jerry cans

Motamec Jerry Can Rapid Fuel Transfer Hand Pump - For Petrol / Diesel | eBay

Once fuel starts flowing it should continue due to the syphon effect. Siphon Fueling. The pump allows re-fueling without the need lift and pour into funnel (a full Jerry can can weigh over 20kg!). Can be used with petrol or diesel.

like that ... bit pricey though for what it is ......have used the pressurise the can method to start a syphon pipe off before now .. rag in the can neck and blow 'til it flows - ok when full and better than a mouthful .... also have a syphon ball foot valve which you 'jig' up and down -- big bore though and takes a bit of getting going.
with a placcy can one could make up a lid with a schraeder valve in it and give it a shot of wind from a tyre / whatever?

Reviving this thread,

How are people filling there mini diggers?

The micro and the track dumpers are fine easily filled with 5l drums, mostly easy access very little in way of spills.

Having put 75l in the 2.5t this week is growing old already using 25l drums and trying to stand on the track and blade while trying no to spill any, was similar issues before with the dumpers on site.

I'm going to pick up a nozzle for the drum but as they don't have a vent can see it being a pain.

Don't really want to go down the route of a 200l portable tank with pump due to having to keep taking it out when not needed.

Are the cheap 12v portable ones any good or any recommendations for something a bit better, did see Milwaukee do a M18 transfer pump but it's only rated for water

I’ve got a piusi cube like this not used it since I got my 500l fuel proof cube but was my solution before
