I did notice that TSC had a small fuel dispenser that pressurized the fuel tank. Almost bought that for my smaller machinery, I don't think it would work well for dispensing 5 gallons into a tractor but it would do well filling small machinery from a 5 gallon tank. 

It had a pump that screwed into the large can opening and a hose with a small dispenser that looked like a miniature gas station handle/dispenser. I always seem to overfill my chainsaws and other small equipment gets overfilled from time to time and I think this item would help. Plus, its not electric, I get nervous with electrical items around flammable liquids.
