We carry our petrol in a plastic petrol can. We have a slection to choose from as we forgotton the petrol a couple of times and had to buy another can to buy some more .

For filling, I just fill the tank straight from the petrol can using the special funnel coleman provide. which if you do it properly  avoids over filling. We don't normally run our to empty, as it will inavriably go out half way through cooking dinner. I sometimes mean to just take the fuel we need in a couple of 1 litre fuel bottles,  but space is never enough of an issue for me to bother with it in reality.

I forgot about the special funnel, I just bought one of those as well (mine was missing from my 2nd hand stove). Do they actually stop over filling? I've had a look but can't quite work it out. (obviously my stove had no hand book either, good job the sticker was still on it!)

IMO The special funnel does really help

When you fill the stove, the fuel flows freely throiugh the funnel as normal. Once it gets nearly full the funnels fills up. Stop pouring and it slowly drains into the tank. I assume that the little black pipe is a vent pipe to let the air out of the tank and the fuel in.

 he special funnel is without doubt a necessity as it also has a fine mesh filter built into the botttom of it so no bits and pieces of debris get into the Coleman as this will ultimately lead up to a blockage.
