    I bought a couple of MFC's from TinkyWinky and after searching around came up with a thread on Expedition Portal discussing a PVC spout. I knew I did not want the hard materials made out of PVC so I ordered the following parts:

    2" x 1" Polypropylene Reducer Bushing

    1" Tube ID x 1" NPT Black Nylon Threaded Adapter

    I decided the tube part didn't matter as much as if used it will need replacing occasionally. I went to Home Depot and bought 3 pieces of 1" ID braided vinyl tubing for $5 each. This is what I came up with:

    fuel%20can%20project_653a3b1ed219c901a544ad358b89821017333f82.jpg

    I may shorten it but the length seems to be beneficial at this time.

    Since the Tacoma does not have a flapper in the filler the 1" OD tube is perfect for this application and should flow fast. On vehicles equipped with a flapper I'm going to try a Ford fuel filler funnel. The Ford funnel is for vehicles equipped with Ford's capless fuel filler system and should also deactivate the door on other vehicles. I will test this to make sure the can doesn't over flow the funnel. If it doesn't all will be good.

    Cost for those of us here in the states. I would be looking at around $40 to $50 USD to get an MFC spout, probably more. I built 3 spouts and bought a spare Ford funnel for less than that. From what I've heard the donkey dick on the MFC is know for falling off anyways.

    Right I forget it's hard for you guys to get these things. There's also a wrench you can buy to really tighten it down. But even hand tight I've never seen one fall off
