Hi Alan.

I lift my can onto a non slip pad the wing then use a battery operated fuel pump
to transfer it to the tank. Search for battery operated fuel pump on Amazon
or Ebay. They are a bit flimsy and not terribly fast but they work OK and you
can buy one for about 15. I am on my second one in 8 years. They take a couple
of D cells and the batteries last at least a full season with me.
