sods law next time you're out you'll sit on it and we'll have a thread about the MAIB report. In fact as an experiment I might get a milk bottle and see it it handles sitting on it (lockdown is dragging on). My worry is the plastic cap and the neck of the bottle are not very rigid and likely the cap will pop off. Especially if its not full.
It's a good job I've given up smoking too

Around fourty (immsmc). Incidentally, I think you're correct, The bottle's integrity wouldn't survive being sat on and if put to the test would be safer filled with water than petrol. Perhaps its relative fragility has caused me to treat it more carefully than I might have done with a purpose made container. It gets placed in the tender, tenderly rather than just chucking it in.
Well in deference to my wife I was going to do it in the bath, only half full of petrol, to make it realistic surround the rim of the bath with night-lights. But if you say its not needed I'll not bother.
I can imagine thats true. I wasn't always so particular but I'm surrounded by accident prone kids nowadays so everything has to be military standard ruggedised.
I remember many years ago someone using a generic plastic container filling up a motorbike, the static discharge from the plastic container ignited the fuel and burnt the garage down.
I've got an underseat bag which keeps things in place but thinking I'll make a webbing thing on the inside of the transom for a rectangle FuelFriend to sit in. No reserve position on the tank of my outboard so not much notice. Would be nice to have it very close by. With the spout as good as it is might be able to slow down, pop the top off and pour it in without stopping. Not having to stop and hang over the back wrangling a 5L container with a too long flexible spout, not knowing the motor tank is full until its overflowed, will be nice.
I have one of those red cans (maybe even smaller?), I used to use it when I had a small outboard on my dinghy. One liter of fuel will take a two hp four stroke a long way. (I’ve now gone electric, with a Torqeedo)
leave an unsecured nice container like that Fuel Friend in the dinghy on the average beach over here, once you are back from walking or shopping you will probably find three or four additional ones, gifts of passers by 
OK I accept that you don need 5 litres but I use the old fashioned 5 litre metal petrol can, the type with the Brass screw top. You can always put less in one. I have a few for sale the go for about £17.00 plus postage. I could put one up for sale on the "For Sale" Forum if interested.
Thanks but too heavy. Just needed another litre as a reserve to be carried when maybe needed. True there are a few products that need stronger bottles but unless I have one already its a waste to buy one to empty. Those FuelFriend are ideal having a mouth wide enough to fill directly from the pump or a bigger can, should last most of forever too.
