Question:

how fast will it drain out of the hose? lifting 5 gal and holding it for a long period gets tiring when you have to put in 20 gal.

There is not a flow rate listed for the SureCan Gas Can # SC78GR, so I cannot say how fast it is going to drain. If the main concern is fatigue from lifting and holding the can up, it has a similar flow as most gas cans you are probably used to using. But the hose design/placement helps to take out some of that strain. You will no longer have to lift the can and tilt it to get the fuel out, it is going to be gravity fed from the bottom.

If you want to remove the fatigue factor altogether, I would recommend going with the TeraPump UtilityCan with Fuel Transfer Pump # TE78VR. This comes with a pump and 51" hose so you can fill the tanks from the ground. This has a flow rate of 2.3 gallons per minute.
