In most marine applications, an outboard boat motor is supplied fuel through a hose from an on-board fuel tank. Once the tank is near empty, it must be refilled to continue operation, a process that normally involves an additional fuel holding cell (such as a jerrycan or other fuel carrying cell). Refilling the boat's tank can often take place on rough open waters, meaning the pouring of fuel from a can into the tank can be a messy, potentially dangerous process. This invention allows for the safe usage of a standard fuel carrying container as a primary or overflow fuel source, by adapting the spout of the can into a format that is accepted by most outboard motor hardware configurations. It can be connected with minimal effort within a few minutes, filters fuel while it is being supplied, and bypasses the need for can-to-tank transfers.
