I buy my diesel in 5 gal jeep cans. Then using my air operated barrel pump, I transfer it to my holding tank, that has a 12 v pump. Then pump it to my tractor. I don't pump it directly to my tractor, because the holding tank has a filter. I don't use much diesel this time of the year, so I just bought 5 gal. I used a funnel to add it to my holding tank, that has a nice 2 inch opening. It started out good fuel was going into the tank. Then the funnel tipped over. In a couple seconds I had diesel in my shoes, and over my pants, before I got the funnel back in the tank opening. I not only lost over 2 gal of diesel, I lost a pair of shoes. The pants may be salvageable. I got my mowing job done with no problems, so everything isn't bad. Have a good Thanksgiving. Stan
