I hate stopping to feed the Monster, I'm on the edge of every 3 days, usually gas every other from home.
My ethanol-free source is a few miles out iof my way - thru town.
I fill a couple  typical red 5 gal containers and I've concluded they both suck.
I'm sick of dribbling gas all over my bike and killing my self for the privilege.

Got a two gallon dispenser that works well? I'd transfer to that from my 5 gal cans.

I might revert to a funnel but can imagine how that ends up.

I just use the gas station for street bikes, and have to mix up a magical concoction for the dirt bike, but there is always this option:

There are larger ones made too, as long as you ride often enough that the gas won't go bad.

That caddy could be pretty damn handy around home. I lug 5-gallon cans fairly frequently. A little StaBil and one of those.....

I use the standard 5 gallon cans and put them on a shelf above the height of my Duc.  I then use a super siphon like here: http://www.xtend-a-hitchnorthwest.com/super_siphon.htm to transfer to the bike.  A few shakes and it is going and then just lift the siphon head out of the gas to stop it.  It is really easy and I have yet to spill a drop since.  Just straighten the hose out to drain it into the bike after taking it out of the gas can.  I don't remember where I got mine as I have had it for many years.  I just linked to what came-up on a google search.

that siphon deal looks waaaaaaaay to stupid - I just ordered 2.

I have a shoulder height shelf right behind where I park the Duc.

A spare for trips with the crew will be handy as everyone else has better range than me, surprise!

Glad I already forked over for the extra 2gallon can, whicjh was pretty managable, tho, had to laught as I refilled that from a 5 gallon can, and overflowed gas all over the garage floor, what a dufus!
Well the 2G + 2X5G gives me ~13G of fuel, that's 13 days of commuting before I need a rainy day!
God forbid I take the Duc to a gas station!

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it
