RK sells racing cans for 10 bucks I think. I have 3, they are great.

Edit guess they are 20. https://www.ruralking.com/5-gallon-polyethylene-fluid-container-white
Yes I went to RK's website and they only let you order one at a time with shipping cost of almost $20 it was cheaper for me to order a 2 pack of the YP race cans from Amazon for $63 with free shipping. I got the yellow ones for diesel. I have 8 Wedco Jerry Cans that I purchased just before the ban. I have those under lock and key and never loan them out. I am very happy that the YP type cans are now available. Hurray for the innovative merchants who get around the idiocy of the regulations that killed properly functioning fuel cans.

I have one 5 gallon plastic can I bought at Walmart....about $13. I keep it filled so when I need to refill it's handy. I put a kneeling pad up on the hood and use a siphon/pump like the ones supplied with a portable kerosene heater.
Two pumps or so and it does the rest itself. I use a small plastic clamp to keep the hose inside the filler hole. The last few drops are easily poured out after the siphon bottoms out. If I used more fuel I would probably invent a more elaborate setup....just isn't needed for at this time.
