How do you figure? That is simply a lie. I go whole months without
even thinking of the cars.

Richard, it's probably best to not give much attention to people who
can't work out how to pour gas from a can without spilling it.

As for fuel, I would like to know how to refuel my boat from a can.
The fill openings are on the outside of the boat, below the gunnels,
and very hard to reach from inside the boat.. You need a small crane
to support the jug. Fortunately, I mostly fill it at the gas station,
while the boat is on the trailer. As it is, I guess I could use a
strange and very long funnel.


Might somehow attach a second filler tube inside the boat, but it
could be tricky to do it safely.
