It's still printing, so I'm not 100% sure it'll work but how about this to fit a standard 20 ltr plastic can (not a cubie).

A meter or so of 25mm ID, POVC tube, should allow you to hold the can while you stick the tube in the tank, then upend the can.  You'll need a small hole in the top of the can to admit air.

Those flexible connectors are really useful!

I've been adding bio in small quantities to some newish VW's and the filler neck are a pain to fill when using non pump nozzles

The Rocket Pourer needs a small section pipe.

If you mean the part I printed that should be quite easy to change.  What ID tube do you need?

i tried it out for the first time a week or so ago and it dribbled quite badly ... it may need an extra layer of sealing ring installed.

I've always used 1 hose for the rocket pourer but its a pain filling the Caddy. The filler neck on caddy does not contain the user pressure release valve found on older VW's which allowed you fill the tank to the brim without major gurgling  :)

I've ordered some polypropylene fittings namely a S60 IBC adapter with 1" BSP Female thread. I will add a 3/4" hose tale for some 3/4 wire reinforced clear PVC hose.

I will post up a pic. Still got loads of 20litre syngenta Roundup containers.
