I have it down to a fine art now. Line them up in the trunk and fill them on the way to the field. Squirt 5 oz of 2 stroke in before leaving the gas station - that way it mixes on the way. Lift onto wet rag on wing, thumb over spout, tilt into tank then release thumb. Leave to gurgle in while I do the other side. I'm fueled up and ready to go while my hangar mate is still waiting for the ($4.50/gal) 100LL gas truck. :) John Bobby J.
