Fuel Drip Containment

Hose slipped over vent and part way into can to insure no "drips" miss?

That's a thought. You could enhance the probability that the gas would go
into
the can by gluing a funnel into the VENT port on the can, or by simply
drilling
a hole into the top of the can and epoxy-gluing the funnel into permanent
position. I like that idea even more, because the only evaporation THEN
is from
the little tiny funnel hole...and you could go one step further and drill
a cork
stopper with a smaller hole at the top of the funnel neck so the gas would
pass
through, but the evaporation would be much less.

You guyzes is clever. Thanks.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-Sporty's oil mat #8667A might work, but I use an open gasoline can on
the
-floor. There's usually not much wind in a hangar, so the drips will go
right
-in once it is positioned. The small opening in the can reduces the
amount of
-evaporation you would get compared to a mat or just letting it hit the
-floor.
-Afterward, I use the fuel to run my lawnmower.
