It just comes naturally to me!Gas bag = wind bag, pompous, talkative, bloviator. One who bloviates - constantly talking, often in a longwinded pompous manner. Many of these folks like the sound of their own voice - often unaware of those around them who are often laughing at them behind their backs. These folks are often very vain and conceited - impressed by their own self importance. Many politicans are gas bags, full of empty hot air.

Thanks Eddie - I take that as a compliment !!
Seriously though Tracstarr, I have used these in some pretty extreme environments with my plane, with mixed success. I had the seam split in one. They replaced it though, even though it made a mess. Since then, I have used it without problem. On the plus side, it folds down when not in use and doesn't take up much room nor weigh too much. I use a syphon to transfer the first 1/3 to a 1/2. Then it can be poured onto a funnel. However, you have to get it up on the wing first and that can be difficult without a ladder or similar. And make sure you have a towel or similar to rest it on the wing or it will scratch the paint.
All that said, I pack one whenever I go remote and it is the best solution I am aware of so far.
Best
