Easy fuel tiny funnel madness

So I get points through gas station memberships and cheaper gas is good so I usually fill up some gas cans when I have a good discount and top off my truck. I just filled up Njordr from a gas can for the first time and this little funnel adapter thing from Ford sucks (My previous vehicles all had a regular or old gas cap / system). What are y'all doing to get around this thing? I'm sure the over landing crowd has something...

That’s a fuel funnel??? I’ve been telling my wife that’s a “she-wee” that ford put in there to get wives more active on trail rides with their husbands.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mine uses it to pee by the tire on the beach!

The Air Force has somethin similar, for female B-2 pilots and the like, except theirs costs us/US/U.S. $253,571 each.

VP Racing cans. That's what we use during our rally events when we need to fuel away from a gas station.
Can hold almost 6 gallons & empty it straight into the tank, no funnel, in about 2.5 minutes.

I'm with you, @Njordr. I'm anticipating a warehouse chain (BJs) will give me $.50 discount up to 40 gals when my register tape hits $150--which I can do, easy. So I'll drive up empty with 4 5-gal cans. A few thoughts:
1) Before the transaction, I have all my cans out, caps off, so I don't accidently shut off the pump and lose my 2nd 20 gallons. This also signals people behind that I might be a little while.
2) Don't ever use any kind of "safety flow" "handy trigger" "No-Spill" or anything like that. I end up spilling a lot. This type of spout is the worst of all:

You want smooth, gravity flowing fuel--nothing with any kind of "release" mechanism.
3) I simply pack a good size funnel with a flexible gooseneck spout. I like this one:

I clicked on @Laura link for a gas pump, above. There's a coupon for it, good till June29, you can get it for $7.50.
And yeah, the Ford-provided funnel is a joke. Please, Lord, protect us from regulators and "safety engineers!"

I'll do the same but states have varying laws about how much fuel you can transport at a time. Alabama states a max of 8 gallons.

VP Racing jugs are great. These are pretty good also.
