I've spilled my last quart of fluid. Not saying I've spilled a lot, but it's happened a time or two, enough to make me solve the problem. One way or another I'll have something to put the quart bottle in while I pump the fluid out. But what?

I'm referring to a better, heavier version of something like this:


So what am I looking at here? A welded up box with a little square base, made out of 1/4" thick steel? So it will be heavy and not want to tip over. Seems like a long shot, but I thought I would ask here, in case someone has seen such a tool.

What fluid are you pumping out of what and why does this need to be on the truck bed instead of on the floor next to the pump? And how much fluid do you need to pump out, only one quart?

And why not just buy this one off Amazon for 30 bucks instead of welding something unless you need a different size or something

I've used one of these for decades now, since my granddad has his garage. Draw a quart (or 2, or 4), tilt the spout into the proper orfice, squeeze the trigger... when it's empty (or not) release the trigger, swing the spout up. No fuss, no mess. And generally no funnel required.

I've had both the swingspout (above) and Lubrimatic ones (we used those at work as well) with the flexi-pipe. Best thing is they're durable, repairable, and not plastic.

What use case problem are you trying to solve?!
