A portable fuel container is less likely to spill fuel when filling equipment if...

...it has a spout with an automatic shut-off feature. This feature will stop the flow of fuel once the equipment's tank is full, preventing any potential spills.

Here are the steps to fill equipment with a portable fuel container:

1. Ensure the equipment is turned off and cool: Never try to fill equipment that is running or hot as it can cause the fuel to ignite.

2. Remove the cap from the equipment's fuel tank: Make sure you place the cap somewhere clean and safe so it doesn't get lost or contaminated.

3. Prepare the portable fuel container: Remove the cap from the container and attach the spout. Make sure the automatic shut-off feature is working properly.

4. Position the container: Hold the container above the fuel tank, with the spout inserted into the tank's opening. Make sure you have a firm grip on the container to prevent it from tipping over.

5. Pour the fuel: Slowly pour the fuel into the tank. The automatic shut-off feature should stop the flow of fuel once the tank is full.

6. Finish up: Once the tank is full, carefully remove the spout to prevent any fuel from spilling. Replace the cap on the fuel tank and on the portable container.

7. Clean up: If any fuel was spilled, make sure to clean it up immediately to prevent any potential fire hazards.

Remember, safety should always be your first priority when handling fuel.
