where to buy and what are the names of those "thingy's" to use with the 5 gallon gas cans to add gas to the boat?

Do you mean the tall gas cans with the long clear rubber spout that makes it easier to put gas in your boat?

Kenny, if thats what you want, I bought my 5 gallon can at a motorcycle shop. They're not cheap. They cost about 30 bucks.

I remember a friend having some sort of pump device with the normal 5 gallon cans from wal mart

I bought a ciphen from Overtons. Helps out the process fairly well. It was $10.

You want to buy a pump to pump gas out of a 5 gallon gas can???? It takes all of about 1-2 min to dump a 5 gallon can.

You can pick up one of these self priming siphon hoses at any hardware store for around $7

The new "ventless" gas cans suck. I've got two of the self priming siphons & havent' had much luck with them. Not sure if I'm just slow or what but they take forever & then stop at some random time. I've thought about picking up some of the motorcycle cans but their too tall to fit under the tonneau cover on my Avalanche.

I 2nd Richard on that siphon. I use it most holidays when the boat is in over night and we need to top off the next day. It works great!

Get a small vent free can with a nozzle that fits your boat and will stay in place inverted. Cut the bottom out. You now have a big funnel. Take the nozzle of the vent free can off and pour into the funnel.

I bought 6 of these from the local cycle shop at 32 bucks each. I made the fillers my self. They are qty 2 - 3/4" hose barbs, 12 inches of 3/4" hose, and qty 1 - 3/4" cap. That list will make one filler. I bought the parts at Orchard Supply

have you seen a gas caddy? they hold about 15 gallons and have a hand pump on them.
