Last summer I got tired of the various gas cans I had lying around especially all the ones with the Rube Goldberg EPA nozzles and also wanted something the kiddo could use to refill the mower w/o having to hoist a 5-gallon can up as it weigh about 1/2 as much as her. Another driving factor was at out local grocery store we accrue gas point and eventually get gas for or well under $1 a gallon and can get up to 25 gallons. So I looked around and settled on the 14 gallon Scepter fuel caddy for around $125. I figured it would pay for itself in short order using gas points. It works either by gravity or you can keep squeezing the handle and it will siphoned. I had though about rigging a hoist in the shed to lift it up so it could be gravity flow but that limits use to only the garage. Perusing YT I came across several videos where people adapted compressed air to drive the gasoline out. Again the air compressor is a decent idea but limited to being close to a power outlet. I then stumbled onto a guy that used a rechargeable ball inflator and decided to go that route. The idea is you only need about 5 psi for it to effectively dispense fuel so a low volume low pressure pump actually works pretty well.
I have been using this set up all winter and have dispensed 45 or so gallons of fuel and am absolutely satisfied with it. The biggest user turns out to be my DRZ400. With a 2-1/2 gallon tank and 100 mile range I found every time I went out and put on more than 20 miles I stopped to top up the fuel tank. Now I just top'er up in the garage and not have 15 $2 transactions every month at the local gas station.
For those savvy folks FBMP or CL is a great place to look for used Flow-N-Go's I ended up buying another thank (minus the hose) for $45.
I have also made a air drive for it

Do this at your own risk. If you have any doubt DO NOT do this mod. If you think you will have any doubt or any concerns DO NOT do this. If you are uncomfortable with this mod DO NOT do it. Also no need to mention grounding. You cannot ground plastic so it's a moot point.
I am not asking for you opinion on this mod or if you think it is safe or not. I am an adult and have made the decision to try it. Much like darksiding I'm tired of reading about it I wanna see how it works or doesn't.
What I needed to modify my 14-gallon flow-n-go more the filler cap to accept very low pressure compressed air to drive the fuel instead of using gravity or the siphon handle.
1/4" female x male x female brass tee
1/4" female x Schrader adapter
1/4" adjustable/proportional relief valve set to 5 PSI
1. Install the filler cap on the F-N-G stand it upright and see what slot is oriented most toward the top and note it. Remove the gas cap
2. Unscrew and pull off the manual tank vent (black plastic doodas under the gas cap in th epic below)
3. Dope up the threads on the tee and, relief and schrader.
4. Screw in the tee and line up one outlet with the slot that is most towards the top. This is the relief port.
5. Screw in the schrader and relief
6. Inflate the tank to 6 or 7 PSI. Do this carefully and slowly. Keep checking with a pressure gauge so you do not overfill.
7. Once pressurized to 6 or PSI adjust eh relief until you hear it release some pressure. When it stops check the pressure in the tank. Adjust until you get it to stop reliving at 5 PSI.

Relief set to 5 PSI and after set the ball inflator is screwed on and set to 5 PSI, turned on and once pressure builds you can start to dispense fuel
