Thanks for those additional thoughts. Redonthehead, I do know we can't siphon uphill. I actually store all my fuel cans up on shelves that are elevated enough that a siphon system would work on anything we need to fill up, thus my desire to find a good solution so my wife and kids don't have to try to muscle those cans around without my help.

Because my application would be a pretty well fixed location and because I have power right there, maybe an actual pump is a better long term solution than a siphon. I'll do some more reading on this sort of setup.

Thanks!
