What attachments for a jerry can help prevent gasoline spills?

PLWA looked into pump attachments for jerry cans. Here are some key features:

- Auto stop sensor to prevent overfilling

- Different sized caps to fit different sized cans

- Drain back, gas will empty back into jerry can

PLWA has been in conversation with local gas stations and stores about stocking these types of refueling attachments. Residents also found fuel transfer pumps online and at larger home improvement stores.
