You could do what we did in the army to transfer fluids (petrol or water). Drop a bit of hose in the butt and suck, then drop it in the can. It worked for me though it took time to get the taste of petrol out of the mouth. As for water out of the butt it would never be as bad as some we had to drink in Desert conditions. I still say fit a tap at the base and lift onto bricks?
You have just reminded me Frank, we have got a little doo- daa that you push up and down in a tank of water so no need to suck,
we were always siphoning petrol in the old days, you only ever went out with a gallon in the car, about 6 shillings worth, so had to phone dad to come out with a can.
