Works great if the flongo is way higher than what youæ±*e fueling. I cut the hose way shorter on mine. It does work great hooked up as an auxiliary tank for my generators when camping. For that, I leave the hose at home and have a y setup with primer bulbs.
a)put it in the loader bucket
b) add a 12 vdc fuel pump, you can get an automotive/motorcycle one pretty cheap, add a pair of battery clips or a plug.......

The squeeze handle is a PITA, if that is how you will dispense fuel.
One reason I decided against it.

I do have one and love it. Keep it full of ethanol free 91 for use in all my equipment.
So the way mine works is you pump the squeeze handle a few times to get it going, then once the hose is full of fuel and flowing it naturally siphons on its own. Works better when the tank is more full...less so as it empties, but overall it works pretty well.
14 gallons is perfect, and the wheels make it handy to roll around when its full. I really like mine! That little 12v fuel pump is a great idea!

Adding a pump would be an option.
Ended up selling it. Just didn't think lugging around 100# of gas was going to be fun. I do have a loader but still seemed it would be a pita. Got a hernia now to get fixed.!!!

Realize off the question here but have seen it here a tank setup where you use attach air hose to push the fuel out the tank and no pump is needed. That was metal tank and maybe there was air pressure limit to the input. Would not suggest that with a plastic tank.

I had a smaller version, the hose an the nozzle were crap. Hose actually broke in less than a year and was stiff as he77 even when new and kinked too easy. I use two 10L cans now, light, easy to pick up and pour. I always fill my gear when I'm done with it and I've always got at least one full can on hand, just my 2 cents worth

I seen on u tube where someone added a tire valve to the plastic flo n go. Would only put a few pounds of air, don't remember how much but not much. And seemed to work. But now you have to air up every time you want to use it. Still a pita.!!
